Website Downtime And Loss Of Some Data

[Steve]

Hi Guys

Updated 28th November 2013

Update from the original update that this was not a sucurity issue but an issue with our web host.

Due to some technical issues with our host and not being able to restore a recent back up we have suffered a little bit of data loss. This was mainly due to being set up on a new cloud infrasturcture and the back ups were not tested fully.

Some of you may have experienced that we have stepped back a few days and there will be loss in topics, Posts and PM's.

We apologise for any inconvinience this may have caused members, including members that registered over the last week that may need to re-register.

I have taken steps to ensure that the nightly data back ups are backing up correctly in future and I have taken extra steps to ensure that this will not happen again.

We have been lucky over the last 11 years that we have managed to keep the data intact, so as you can understand I am sad that a little bit of data has been lost.

Sorry guys!
