Where did the posts go???

So... since the traffic has been really picking up on this site we've had to upgrade and add servers. This week... again... we added another server and a load balancer to help with traffic... mostly for show nights.

Anyway... the blog was not setup correctly when we did this and last night one of my server dudes was trying to fix the issue with the blog. Somehow when he was working on it... he put the db back-up for 3/11 which caused several issues:

-loss of post
-loss of PM's
-passwords that changed during 3/11 - current date no longer worked
-new members - no data

A few minutes ago we had the most recent back-up installed... This was a back-up from around 2:00 AM last night. Any posts made or changes in your profile will not have been saved in this 10 hour window.

The IdolMe Blog will not be 100% until Monday when one of the super duper server dude is back at work.

Sorry for any inconvenience...

We really appreciate your hard work Stu. I hope you are making tons of advertising dollars off this baby to pay for the servers and server dudes.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

We are still working on fixing a few issues... some users cannot loggin right now... so the dudes are working on it. Ever since we had the load balancer installed we've had issues here and there. I hope to get this ALL worked out soon.
