Looked around, but didn't find a way.

Damn, it is depressing to see the post counts of some people. Torraske, weren't you at like 700?

Some were, yes. Lots of archived answers to questions.

But I was more just saying that it represents how much site content was lost.

I understand. Don't keep your mind on it. No point dwelling in a sad past. Learn from mistakes and keep moving forward. There's always the opportunity to do it again. Maybe do it even better than before.

Yay ^^ You should update the downloads page, it links to an older version at the moment.

I have began trying to restore some of the wiki tutorials. Keeping the content in its original form and making small format adjustments. Although the wiki backup only have thumbnails of original images.

EDIT: I restored and improved the missing pages in the wiki. Only took about an hour. No sweat.

Nice, good to see the site is back up again.

If needed I can help out a bit re-doing some of the wiki tutorials. Indeed too bad we lost a lot of information, but I think that with a bit of work we can re-do alot of things

@ Ken (and all others trying to restore things) great job guys

Yo, this has happened a couple of times. Why not set up a cron to backup the database every day?

We did have one, but didn't at the time of the crash. Its complicated.

We now have automated rolling nightly on-site backups, and weekly off-site backups, to ensure this won't happen again.
