Wow, I don't know what happened or how much work will be involved to regain all that lost content, but let me be the first to sympathize and encourage the resurrection!

Umm, I know this is a poor question to ask at such a hectic time, but... 

No offline backups?

This is just sad....  I really hope we can get all the knowledge back that was contained within the previous life.  There was a lot of information contained therein.

... I was just reading an article in the redmond magazine about the pro's/cons of cloud computing!

Rick, hopefully you're able to recover the data

Rick,

Thanks for all of the effort you have put into giving us an incredible forum. It has been invaluable to so many Connie owners.

It was a major crash, as far as crashes go. A partition on the server RAID simplistically went poof. Yes, I do have a database backup locally, and weekly database backups on the server. Guess what partition they were on?

The database is dynamic, updated at every new post, page view, profile update, ... Files (like avatars and attachements) are static, and can be 'old'. The database 'links' them together. I had a dream last night... It became apparent I couldn't recreate the forum 'as it was'. Not without a lot of down time. Even then I felt it'd be a crap shoot.

I do have most [all] of Elvin't FAQ/Wiki content though.

Yes, I'm bummed too. But there's good members here, info will be recreated.

I just started blaming the Sony Playstation Network.

Good luck resurrecting what you can (if anything) from the old forum.

We have a pretty good Guru on another Kaw site that's an IT type,want to touch bases with him?
I'm just offering some help,not doubting your capability's in any way.
He did a great job migrating servers for us and even resurrected the old photo files that had been lost to the ether.
Lemme know,I'll keep tabbed...

Wow. Just read your last post while pre-viewing mine.
Anyway. Offer still stands.

Gotta chime is so I can officially be a newbie again! Such joy!

Look at the bright side.  All the tire, oil, windshield, threads we have to look forward to  ;D

Thanks for the hard work Rick.

By my last post before the crash, I had spent 4 days/12 hours learning a bunch of stuff about my 2009 Connie (the faster red one). I debated if I wanted to re-register and burn another few days of my life on the forum but the people and the posts brought me back :D Sorry that you had such a catastrophic crash. Astrobob

Rick, keep up the good work, this stuff happens! 

I've only been a Connie owner and forum member for less than 2 weeks yet already this site has steered me in the right directions for what tires and windshield to buy - probably saving me hundreds in purchases I wouldn't be happy with.

Wow, so much for telling the newbies to use the search function anymore... Now we're all newbies again!  ;)

Let me test this new forum out with a pic.  8)
