I haven't been on here for a few days, but it seems that about 6 months or so of posts have disappeared. Did I miss something?

The GBO Server in Atlanta has a hard drive issue and has caused us to loose about 8 months of posts. I have moved the database to a new server for now and we are currently working to restore all the lost posts. Thanks for your Understanding.

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.

Just signed on. Keep getting a "Error not allowed to post on this site" when I try to go on HR/NEC forum. Just within the past week or so, I was able to log into the forum going through the "Shooters Forum" Will this be restored with the new server or am I doing something wrong. Thanks
