What the heck just happened to the site? Let me tell you...

So, as you can tell, the site crashed a few minutes ago, and now anything that was posted since the site went live this morning has disappeared. Here's the story:

The transfer to the new hardware went as well as can be expected with just a few normal hiccups and glitches. The site went live again and Jin was chasing down the last of the bugs and incorrect database tables. The early problems were fading, the site was humming again, and then....The main drive on the new hardware failed.

This had nothing to do with the site, nothing to do with the programmers, and nothing to do with the co-location move. It was simply just very VERY bad luck. It's pretty much exactly the same as if the drive on your home computer crashed and you lost everything. So we had to go to a backup, which was created at 5pm EST yesterday (Tuesday, Dec 18th).

Yes, it sucks, we're all bummed and apologize for the inconvenience. But it was really out of our hands, we were just very unlucky.
