An update from our hosting company:
Feb 15th Outage Update - 2/14/2017
As some of you may be aware, we had a service impacting issue on 2/14/2017. At approximately 5:40PM, the data center experienced a utility power outage. At this time, the data center's UPS should have ta over the responsibility of providing power. Due to an as yet unknown failure in the UPS system, this did not happen. Utility power was pretty quickly restored. The UPS vendor was dispatched to provide assistance and produce a Root Cause Analysis. We are awaiting further information from the data center maintenance staff on this. For most shared and dedicated server customers, this restored service.
As a result of the hard crash, database corrupt was discovered this morning on mysql. It was necessary to roll the data back to the previous day's backup as the transaction logs could not be cleared without compromising the integrity of the data.

Unfortunately, that means any activity between February 12 and earlier this morning was lost. Since it was a hosting issue, I regretfully can't do anything to restore the forum data that was lost.
