Here's the lowdown --

The server's hard drive this site resides on experienced a critical failure, resulting in the loss of all the data on the hard drive. The backup tapes didn't have our directory or something like that ... so everything was lost. Note: only the files were lost, the database seems to be intact.

After a little bit of screwing around, I managed to find a backup on one of my old hard drives ... the problem is, it's from September 12, 2001. That means the RF archive is lost, as well as the TBP archive.

I will be whipping up a script shortly that will generate a list of all the missions that don't have files ... so then I'll know what shape the surviving archives are in ...

Thanks for your patience.

Well done, staff!

It would probably be worth putting this on the news page, just to let everyone know.
