    Please use this thread to get updates on the recovery, ask questions, and report bugs. Please view the Announcement at the top of any forum for information on the outage and recovery. All new updates will go in this thread.

    What has been recovered & functioning so far.

    • Forum software & database, so all basic forum functionally should be there.
    • All data prior to January 2nd should be there, this includes forums, posts, PM's, and users.

    What still needs to be recovered.

    • Attachments will be recovered over the coming day, so it will be hit or miss which ones appear and the server will run slow during these recoveries. I will update everyone when I believe all attachments have been recovered, so anything missing can be reported.
    • Old Discusware (old FerrariChat.com) software & database.
    • Sponsor banner ads.

    Thank you,

    No, thank everyone for putting up with the server, the good for nothing host, delayed software company responses, and my times of sleep. :)

    I really am feeling good about this, we've needed an OS reload for months now, this just forced the issue. We shouldn't have any of those 1-2 day slowdowns like we did late last year in addition to the other improvements.
