Put yourself in my position. All phase 2 work was still on that server. I should be the one upset :P But look at the positives, site will live on, and you'll still have the opportunity to upload another 200GB just as I will have the opportunity to re-write what was lost. And I couldn't have put it any better than what Polarbear said.

Besides, who knows, maybe i'll give everyone 200GB ;) And as I said, those who had invites will get invites again so long as you know who invited you.

PS: We just ordered another server.

Rock on, so there will be invites again? Last I recall invites were banished forever because someone sold them on ebay or something. Looking forward to checking out the tracker. I hear the community is really good.

Jeez, if we do lose upload or accounts, so what? This could have been a whole lot worse. If you're worried about your precious buffer, take a moment to realise that it could have been no more FTN instead of a few days more downtime, the important thing is that the site lives on.

So thanks B for teh quick recovery, and for keeping our best interests at heart

Look at the big picture everyone please.

Who cares about invites or individual accounts or how much you have uploaded in the last month.

Yes it is sad to loose anything but at the end of the day all of these things can be gotten again. If you lose your upload stats, just upload some more. If you lost you account or invites or whatever, there will be more oppurtunities to get back in.

The important thing here is that the site was backed up and will continue to exist.
As Brandon has said he has just ordered a new server and will be operational soon.

This is not a moan or a gripe as i said, it is sad to lose anything I understand, this is more of a "look at the big picture and celebrate"
