Had me going there for a sec, bet you a flat Michigan Beer . . . served at room temperature . . . MySQL will be the culprit . . .

As some of you know, we had a huge database crash yesterday. It was so bad that a few of the tables lost data. I have had to resort to using a database backup taken the evening before. So, as a result, we lost the torrents, posts, and new users that were added after the backup. We also lost any torrent stats from the time (uploading/downloading). I'm sorry about the data loss, but the best choice for this situation was to go with our backup. I'm taking off this weekend. If I end up seeing a whole lot of database errors, I may have to take the site offline until I can look into the reasons for the errors when I get back. I believe uploading torrents is now working.

Looking for any thoughts or input . . . It would be interesting to get input from our viewers . . . Theory of randomness, . . .

curiously, i've just received a warning from the site that someone tried to log in with my username.
