Hello CTzens.

Today at approximately 15:30 GMT our master database suffered a catastrophic failure and as a result all data was lost. Our database is managed by a 3rd party.

We were able to act quickly and get a new database online by 16:15 GMT. We reverted to a database backup created at 11:00 GMT today (September 21st).

Unfortunately everything that was created between 11:00 and 16:15 GMT has been lost forever. This includes user accounts, comments, posts and topics you might have followed.

We’re really sorry for the inconvenience, but as always really appreciate you guys’ patience when things go wrong for us. Every experience we learn from.

Regards,
George.

When I tried to go onto my own public profile it went to error 404, but it works now. I was on about 16:15.

It’s a good thing it failed….in that time I made shelving which my mom has been on about for a good four years, chopped wood for the winter and made lunch. If CT was up, none of that would be accomplished.
