WOW bagman, is this a real post from today?

What's wrong with the site.
I couldn't get on all day yesterday or this morning.
I just this minute was able to get on GBO for the first time in over a day.
It kept saying sight not found.
This is the first time this has ever happened to me.
I just checked the dates on all the posts and the newest one is dated JULY 2, 2013 and today is Jan 31, 2014.
What is going on???

The page that come up for me stated they had a hard drive problem and had lost around 8 months of posts. They are trying to retrieve posts as we speak.

We have ordered a new server. It will ship out on Monday and hopefully be here on Wednesday. Matt will have to load everything onto it and then head to Atlanta to install it to replace the failing server there. For now we are operating entirely from our local servers here at Matt's house.

For now we've lost all data since last July but Matt is pretty sure that once he gets the hard drives from the Atlanta server in hand here he can restore pretty much all that data. At worst tho we've lost six months worth of posts but everything else is intact and we think those are still there and he will just need to work his magic to restore them.

I was in the process of trying to start up a new browser and I thought it was a POS because it couldn't find gbo.  Finally went back to old browser and found out it couldn't find gbo either.  It actually turned out to be a good thing, because I found out the old browser is now working better than it used to.
