Had a little (actually huge) mishap over at Katz Downloads. Unfortunately, we'd had to revert to our backups, from 7th and 11th of January, 2009.

We're restoring the site, so bare with us and our apologies for the lost submissions, ban statuses, etc. Even the WCP is gone. :o (and I haven't got a backup of it. lol)

Coincidently happened immediately after KF was restored (which got hacked... kinda repeatedly). Katz Forums is now on a new server with a fresh installation of vBulletin.

May I ask why you need to revert to back-ups?

WCP was cool lol.

Glad the forums are back though.

Because the data centre (retards!) fucked the server up (don't wish to go into details)... and they hadn't made backups.

Katz Downloads is working, DNS will take up-to 48 hours to update for everyone, usually its a lot sooner than that.

All downloads previously on Katz Downloads (which you're unable to find now), need to be resubmitted. What you see on the site is all the links we've got.

Hey Cobra, I really feel for you guys having gone through a similar situation myself but on a much smaller scale. The work involved is huge. Well done for getting it all back up as quickly as you did

@Cøbra,

The piece of paper is well worth it mate ;)

Problem is, colonel, Katz is a full-time job and so is university. atm, I'm only able to devote 50% to each, which isn't really working out... (especially when shit like this happens). All I'm looking to do is pass... 90% of my skills are self-taught and have prolly learned under 10% at university. When you look back, I guess it makes sense... (A piece of paper which separates you from the common man.)

:(

wow you people should be thankful Cøbra and the rest of the team got all this back up and running instead of worrying about some posts you lost, go through the list and check what is missing http://katz.cd/site/ \add url and do some work for your site. And mate get the piece of paper might be handy later on down the track

Don't give up man, that piece of paper is now more important then ever (especially if you live in the US). With all this shitty economy.

If you have to put katz aside for the more important things then you should do it.
