I think the server crashed and we're on a backup.

Sorry guys, My old hosting provider had a major hard drive failure so instead of waiting it out i decided to move palmsnorth to my dedicated server that i use for my image hosting at http://imagehostdirect.com that is way more reliable and a lot faster than the old server it was on. Within the moving process i was unable to use the latest database back up and was only able to use one that i had from November 15. so some posts (about fifty) were lost. So there are two options at this time. The first would be just to keep the forum the way it is and move on. The second option would be to wait for my old host to be back up and try to retrieve the database (if it's not corrupt) and restore the forum to the way it was. The only problem with the last option is that any posts made up until now would be lost. So i will leave it up to you guys, if you think we should just leave it the way it is and just keep posting away or try to get the database from my old host. Let me know what you think.

If you guys find any bugs or problems with the forum just let me know and i'll fix it asap.

Regards,
Jay

At least for me, this is fine. I say leave it as it is. But no matter what you decide, this is still the best board!

If you can get the old database, check/test for problems and save it somewhere without too many headaches, do it. I vote for keeping the forum the way it is now and moving on with posts.

Thanks for all the support guys. 😀 I think we will just leave it the way it is since it's working good now. My old host is still down so i'm not counting on getting the old database back.

Regards,
Jay
