    Over at zetaboards home base, they were replacing hardware on server 6. They used the wrong hardware which led to the hard drives on the server being erased.

    NF is on server 6.

    The newest backup they have of NF is the day we switched to Zetaboards.

    This means, everything is gone from that day forward. All new users. All skins. All threads. All images. All posts. Every tweak and fix we did. Everything.

    What does this mean to you? Well, if you joined in the last few months, it means your account is gone, and you'll need to re-register. If not, you'll probably just be mad about your post count.

    The good news is the zeta staff will "Evaluate the possibility of the drives' data being recovered despite being erased." which means basically jack shit.
    Quote:
     
    1. If any additional recovery is possible we expect that it would most likely take place in the next 1-2 weeks.
    2. If additional data is recovered we will do our best to give you the option restore it back to your board despite any new posts and other changes that have been made since.
    3. While each board is unique, we recommend that in general you continue posting and using your board as normal, especially as this will help get your board back to normal quite quickly either way.

    So in a few weeks, we'll know if we can get some of the past ~4 months back. But we're probably just going to have to move forward and pretend like the summer of 2008 didn't happen.

    Okay, go back to whatever it is you do here.

    Lame shit.

    tell them to buy DART XP
    my dad bought it when our computer crashed and we were in the same situation. Everything was gone and no hope of recovering it. It's like... 100 bucks or so. BUT IT TOTALLY WORKED! We were so happy.
    THE END!

    Just as a note, if you got a name change somewhere up until the wipeout, you can get it changed again for free by requesting it in your CP.

    So... That is what happened. I just realized I would've not been erased if I signed up 4 days earlier.

    Hey its me from the "other forum" -

    Glad to see you guys are back up. Just gotta say one thing FCK ZETABOARDS. Between our boards, we lost so much content... I lost a skin which took me about 2 weeks to make, we all lost so many accounts, posts, RP's. We're in the process of switching to a paid for version of IPB, simply because we dont want this to happen again.

    Hope you guys can come back from it too

    There's a couple of other forums, honestly. TNZ or Forum-N being two that come to mind.

    Thanks, hope to see you guys recover from this as well. We're doing what we can for now.
