This:

Hello

We have bad news about this, the company from where we had those servers went out of business, we never got their notification about it, we are working with the main provider (since it seems like they were resellers), trying to bring our servers back. In the case of the shared accounts of EU1, we have backups of all the data (that's in the worst scenario case), unfortunately, we don't have it of the VPS nodes, that's why we are actively working trying to get the old servers back while we do the migration. We really sorry about this, but this is something that happened and that's beyond of our scope.

We are going to update this notice as soon as we get something new.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Update 1 12:48 PM EST: Old servers are just disconnected but the data is still there, we are trying to work with the datacenter in order of get them back online ASAP, unfortunately we can't give any kind of ETA since it does depend enterily of them.

Update 2 7:28 AM EST: We have bad news, the datacenter wont give us access to our data, we are getting servers in another datacenter and rebuilding the server.

Update 3: 8:20 AM EST Oct 15: Restore of the data of shared server EU1 has started.

Update 4: 20:10 PM EST Oct 15: Server data has been restored already in a 75%, if everything continue at this speed, sites should be back tonight late or first hours of tomorrow. New VPS server is up and running, unfortunately we don't have the data of the old one, however, we can start recreating them, please open a help desk ticket with your request and will been take care ASAP.

Update 5 0:50 AM EST Oct 16: Restore it's about the 80%, unfortunately is going slow on the last part.

Update 6 9:15 AM EST Oct 17: Everything has been restored, if you are still facing issues, please open a help desk ticket.

The only problem is that we seem to be missing about one month worth of posts... I emailed Lourdes but I don't know if anything can be done about it.

(sorry if I confused anyone, I fucked up the topic for a few minutes when trying to move it to another section. Now this topic should be showing correctly again)

[luckystars]

Thanks!!

[Masterofoneinchpunch]

Thanks for getting back up. I was worried about it not coming back (until the PM from HungFist on KFC.)

[Lourdes]

They claim the backup restored is from the 11th of this month, evidently it is now.
I'll see if they're bullshitting, or if they can actually restore us to that point.

I'll have to setup some sort of automated mysql backup, last backup I have personally is from July.

Sorry about this guys.

Glad Bullets is back.

I hope you can restore the missing posts because I really can't be arsed doing the GH filmography again!

Mine's in Finnish, but you get the idea:

Bear in mind that if it gets restored then your posts since the site came back up will be gone.

So...

Thanks!

That's the original list I did before the recent updates, but I'll go back over it again and try to get it back to where it was. I didn't save myself a copy because I wasn't finished. Who knew?

[Lourdes]

Yeah, looks like nothing more is coming back. Jokers, but they're cheap...
