We're going to probably have to go back through some backups, dig out just off-topics and the lost usergroups and restore them individually.
This probably wont happen until Tuesday (it's thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and so our families seem to want to spend time with us for some odd and unknown reason), so hang tight until then, off-topics and your clan forums will be coming back as soon as we can get them there.
We've heard conflicting things from the data center - we've been variously told it's the memory controller, then the hard drive something or other and then finally "sorry if the chiller failure caused you any problems"...which is what took out the database 3 months ago.
I'll post more when I know more.
I am glad that I don't have a premium account. Such a disruption in service because of a holiday only shows that this site is really hosted by volunteers and low wage makers, not a team of professionals. Thanks for the freemium service.
