Our web-host company is still slugging along on a recovery, so we worked around them and restored files using another method. We are considering changing webhost because of this ridiculous incident.

Anyway, we will keep all questions open until December 3rd. We are switching on AutoRaja on 3rd night PST. Please post all your answers by then.

Thanks a lot for your patience!

Hello People,

Our back-end seems to have some issues and images/audio clips are not loading. We are working on getting it fixed.
Stay tuned.

Update: Our web hosting provider has gone kaput. All questions will be kept open until 30th November. We need to run our recovery scripts after the hosting company’s recovery scripts are done.

Update 2: Turns out we are running on one of the worst web hosts ever. They need 5 days to do a restore! And they are yet to restore our backups. We will be doing a hard restore tonight. When Murphy decides to make your day bad, he will make it bad for sure. All questions will be open until further notice.

See update above.

Thanks

Posting early, very early for a change.
