Looks Like We May Be In For a Long Wait

Looks like LGF may be down for a while: the latest message posted on the front page says:

"Status: We've had a hard drive failure in our database server; it will need to be replaced."

Charles also posted a comment here saying it's nothing more serious than that -- just a technical problem.

So, here's a new thread for comments over this long and strange LGF-less night.

UPDATE:

Charles drops in to say:

"Not to worry -- I do have backups.

We may lose a couple of days worth of comments and posts, but I have about 3.6 million comments and 25,000+ entries backed up.

And we're also doing a file copy of the bad hard drive before replacing it. Hopefully we won't lose anything, but it's too early to tell."
