Everyone,

You all remember the Wiki, and how it's been down for a few months now?  Well, I can give the simple answer, and I can give the technical answer.

Simple:
Fuitadnet got bought out by another company, and during the change of hands, they lost the database that kept all our entries, links, profiles, and everything.  Any data that you might have put up after February 2007 is lost.  I'm sorry.

Technical:
Fuitadnet, again, got bought out by another company, and that company demanded a restructuring of their server schema.  During the change, they left many, many users' SQL databases behind.  Apparently, the backend database was completely lost, and they have no backups (reportedly) of the time prior to the takeover.  Their tools are completely fubar, broken, and ill-suited to do any web-management, let alone SQL management.

Now, I bet by now, you all are wondering what we're going to do!  I've got a backup of the database from back in February of last year (2007) that will need to act as our new starting point.  Hey, it's a lot better than starting from scratch, right?

When we transfer the website to its new home with LunarPages, I'm going to put this backup up there as our new starting point.  I hope everyone will be okay with this, as it's the only solution we have.

Any questions?  Comments?  ummm....Mooses?
