Unplanned Outage - Major Hardware failure.
Unhappy Unplanned Outage - Major Hardware failure.
Unplanned 5 hour outage. My general plan for this eventuality (Ip swap rather than DNS change) would have been faster, but due to family reasons I had to keep one of my other websites up. (Planning a memorial for my father and he had a writeup in the paper with the website address a few days ago)
Loss of about ~48 hours of Posts and PMs I still feel bad for the loss but it looks like a full drive failure so I don't expect any recovery. If you feel like reposting please do. Thanks.
Probably lost 20 days of attachments as well. I will have a number on this a little later and may reach out to the posters to ask them to reupload if we lost anything critical.

Only lost 4 attachments. 1 PDF and 3 images from the post apoc thread i think. I've asked for the PDF to be reposted.
I have tested:
Posts with attachments
PMs
As I consider these the most critical items.
There may be issues with things like changing or adding avatars and galleries, but I can address those later.
My email may be down for a bit as well so if you see issues send me a PM.
Thanks Kato13
P.S. Why does this type of stuff always happen at 1am on a Sunday
