I did. But, that was the only e-mail they bothered to send to me regarding the situation. Despite me asking several times for them to fix whatever they did.

Here's what I just wrote at the Yahoo! group to get everyone up to speed about last night/this morning -
After finally getting Legion World's images and javascripts, etc. back up, globat did something catastrophic with our server (and or some of the files - erasing all data in most of them).
Ordinarily, this would be no big deal as I would just replace what's missing. Unfortunately, I was backing up some of the critical files when this occurred (overwriting my last back up - never doing that again) and now I don't have replacements. This was in preparation for our move to a new server already purchased.
I've asked Scott for the ones I no longer have, but his last back up of those files is in February (on his home computer) due to globat's FTP program time-outs and such making it difficult to back up the site regularly.
What's effected now is post counts and some other behind-the-scenes files as well as several Member files.
- Hopefully, everything is back to normal. If you notice anything please post it here and I'll try to fix it.

Er...topic "DC Universe/ LSH 3 Worlds (spoilers)" in the Legion forum no longer exists. I do not have a recent back up, nor do I have one here at work. Once I get home tonight...I'll restore what I can.

Gary I may have it at home but I won't be there until after 7:00 tonight. Just let me know if you still need it. Last night I was able to back up the forums (at least I hope I was) while I was looking for the other files.

Yeah. If you can check it. If I did back it up last night I guarantee it was the corrupted version.

Sorry Gary. By the time it got around to that thread it must have been your corrupted version. I have an empty .cgi file (#5108) that must be the thread in question.

Looks like it's gone for good. Does anyone remember who started the thread? I'd like to give credit where credit is due.

I'm ready to move us to a new host! I've tested things out at the place and it's actually more compatible with the Classic software than this server ever was (and moving here was one of the reasons I bought the UBB.Threads software last year).
Anyway, as soon as we stop new posts and PMs here and I move the rest of the files over...
I then will initiate the DNS transfer to the new server(s) which usually takes about 24 hours to populate throughout the world (it means that when you type in "www.legionworld.net" it shows the new server version and not this one anymore).
I hate to take things away just as they begin to work again, so I'll check in periodically to see if things slow down. Either way, around 11ish Pacific time tonight...the board will be visible, but blocked for new content until we are moved (no new posts, replies, or PMs after 11pm Pacific).
The board will resume after the servers switchover.
