1. As you all might have noticed (or not) our U2start webserver, who was hosting our website, took a major hard disk failure (two out of three, one too many). This caused not only in the site being not available, but only in a massive data loss to the last month\'s activity. Our core data (bootlegs, photos etc.) is all saved and still there as you\'re used to have it here, but all other data suffers from an approximate one month of data loss. Luckily it\'s a very quiet U2 period, so my guess it that the main thing we\'re missing today is one month of Olympics chatting in the forums. It could be worse.

    For now we have restored on another server who took the job over pretty well. We are still working on fixing some nice-to-haves (torrents, LiveTopics) but so far so good. In a while we will be migrating to a more definite server but this will probably be a lot smoother than our restore process that we had to go through the last few days.

    I want to thank all of you for your patience, and also for your donations. This is a big help for us, as you probably know things like this can get pretty expensive. If you still want to help out, a donation is something you can do here.

    For now, enjoy again and welcome back

  11. Haha, same here. I knew it was down the whole time, but just out of addic- er, habit I came here anyways. Glad to know things will be up and running again soon.
  12. Glad to see the site back up again. Also had some involuntary reflexes: checking the site while knowing it's offline..
