Life's a bitch sometimes what can I say. Just when I was so happy the site was running smooth, and we're continuing to see people register and participate in the site, some errors occur. These errors started out rather small at first, with a few of the menu item images not working right, but after some trouble shooting I determined that I must have screwed something up in the template which was causing even more issues. To my great misfortune, my back up routines weren't as up to date as I had hope, which forced me to restore the site to the state it was in about three weeks ago.

What this means for everyone that wrote anything on the site since then is that the content is gone, along with various photo pages I created and a whole bunch of other stuff. Quite frankly I don't care about the lost content, a few articles and blog posts can always be recreated, whereas a complete failure of the site would of course result in much more damage than having lost a few weeks. 

You will see that front page is missing some items and it wouldn't surprise me if you come across more items that need fixing. Please bare with me as I try to bring everything back to a 100% working state. To top it all off the server this site sits on is having issues as it seems a script running from somewhere is using the server as a relay tool for sending out massive amounts of emails, which is of course extremely bad. 

All that said, I've put more checks and balances in place to basically protect myself from my mistakes, so I hope this kind of situation won't occur again. 

I'd like to thank you for your continued patience and support and hope to see you all at the next gathering.
