Disaster Strikes!!!

The Cylon Alliance database and memberlist was badly corrupted by my ISPs transfer. Also, some of the coding that ran the board was also damaged.

The short answer is that, despite making full backups ten minutes before the reload, the database and memberlists are gone!!!

The good news is that the board software is a lot more stable than the previous version and should be immune to the hacking attacks we've gotten since we opened. The bad news is obviously that its like starting again from scratch.

I was wondering what happened. I tried to get onto CA this morning and got a page that looked as if it didn't exist or that I was going to have to sign up all over again...

I hope that everything gets back to normal soon!
