We lost 12 hours of posts. From 4am Fri to 4:15 when we first crashed. All those posts are gone, plus any posts that were snuck in during our brief periods of being up.
This was the only recourse of recovery at this point.
Apologize for all the lost posts. Please repost them as you can.

Edit to add:
For the conspiracy theorists out there, this issue affected PCS sister forum, ForumsForums.com and NetCookingTalk.com. All three forums lost the same 12 hours of posts. All forums were restored from the backup taken at 4am Friday morning. No other option all the way around.

Many of you saw that Bob Ross had over 1 billion thanks, that was the first tip off to something being corrupt. We tried last night and all day today to recover without loss. Unfortunately that was not possible, so we bit the bullet and restored from the most recent non corrupt backup.

Paul, please move this post if it is not in the correct forum. Tks.
 
Well, having over 1 billion posts was fun while it lasted. Guess I'm back to only having been thanked 910 times overall.

Unless I can outdo the gremlins billion + thanks by getting thanked about 2 billion times for this post. What do you guys think? Going to help me out here?

Eh, nevermind. Lost cause, I think.
Glad todays problem was able to be corrected. :thumbsup:
