The disk drive on the gametz server died some time early Sunday morning.
The server has gotten a new disk drive installed in it and the software has been reloaded.
The most recent database backup was Thursday at 4am. The system was restored with this information. This means that anything that was added between early Thursday morning and Sunday morning was lost.
In some case, it doesn't matter, and we can just move forward from where we are now, forgetting about the lost data. In other cases we will need to re-enter the information. This means you may need to re-create trade reports or re-confirm them. You may need to re-rate people. You should check your listings, Bio comments, etc. if you think you changed them in the last 3 days.
One major area that was hit harder was the bio image and avatar images. The most recent backup of these images was November 1st. If you changed your bio image or avatar since then (within the last month), it's likely that you lost it. You'll need to recreate it.
There may be other areas where there is damage. I'll be doing all that I can to get the system fully functional again. If you find a problem, please post a message in the Site_Feedback forum.
