I am lost without my daily dose of Dyyryath Stats when I wake up
As some of you may have noticed, the site has been down for a couple hours this afternoon. You may also notice that posts made since midnight last night are missing...
The server that drives this site had a catastrophic hardware failure earlier today (motherboad & RAID controller are both gone). I've brought the site back up, but the databases that handle both the forums & the Arachnid stats system were stored on a RAID array that is no longer available. I've moved the entire site over to a backup server and restored last night's backup of the forums. Aside from the missing posts, everything should be working again here at the forums.
The Arachnid stats system, however, will take a bit longer. I'm still going to put a little more effort into trying to recover the databases before I give up and restart the history fresh with a new db.
Sorry for the hassle, guys. If anybody notices something that's not acting as it should, let me know.

I am not a Stats Ho, it is just more satisfying to see that my numbers are better than yours.
Yeah, I check the stats when I wake up...

Thanks for all your hard work on the stats Dyyryath!!
I guess we don't realize what goes into it, until it's gone.
So thanks for everythings.

Hearing about losing both the motherboard and raid at the same time starts bringing on nightmares about our customer's fileservers..
