Hey everyone, sorry for the downtime. It was essential that we update some hardware and it turned out to be a painful and aggravating experience.

You might notice that some of your posts are missing -- that's because we had to load a previous backup of data.

If you have any questions, email me at webmaster@polkaudio.com.

Thanks,

~Justin

    Justin,

    it looks like a backup from 1/22/04 was used....so is it safe to assume, we won't see pior postings from 1/23/04 to 1/27/04?

    just wondering....thanks
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Is there any chance of recovering the lost posts? There was alot of information lost in the car audio forums from users who asked questions.

    I would say it is safe to assume if they could, they would have.

    Now I can't go back and see who it was that suggested we raffle off tickets to bitchslap Dan. I was going to send them a free receiver.

    I see that all the forum junkies are immediately online and checking the forum, like freakin' vampires and heroin addicts.

    Why the Webmaster didn't make a backup before to update the hardware?
    mmmm... I think it was not a programmed task, it smell that was a hardware crash and was an "obligated update". When a server is going to be turn down normally you back-up all your files. mmmm... probably the hard disk had a failure and no body did the daily backup.
    It is better to said the true than to give other excuses...
    Well anyway... it will be a bad experienece for every body but its not the end.
    Be happy

    Coming from another network engineer. Cut them a break!

    Regardless of weather it was an upgrade or a downed server, bringing up a new server can be a huge pain in the butt.

    Thanks for your hard work Polk!
