Well, I had a catastrophic hardware failure. It wasn’t pretty. For the tech saavy, I had a multi-hd failure on a raid 5 array after a motherboard burnout. What it boils down to is me kicking myself for figuring “Eh.. it’s a personal site, nothing business related – if I lose it, no big deal..” (That means I didn’t bother with backups…. ugh.. )

I’ve grown to like what I lost, and now have integrated this site with my production systems backup plans. I won’t be making the same mistake twice.

All user accounts are gone.. All posts gone.. Forums wiped.. The only thing still around are my torrent downloads as they were on a different server. I’ll be re-posting them in the forums within the week (or whenever I get to it).

Anyway, I’ve decided to upgrade to the latest wordpress, give the new forums a major upgrade, and update a ton of other crap here.
I’ve also changed the look a bit – hope you all like it.
