Update on Website Problems – 5/11/12
We have been informed that the missing content cannot be recovered. We are going to resume normal operations of the site without it. This means that the Forum and FalconWatch blog are now open for use. Missing posts will need to be entered again.
Members who joined the Forum after March 8 will need to register again. Any changes made to member profiles after March 8 will need to be made again.
Pictures lost from the Archive will need to be restored from external sources if available.
Much work needs to be done to restore lost web pages and site infrastructure. We will work on this before attempting to restore pictures from external sources.

Thank you for all you do every day for us. It’s a shame you need to go through all this…but we’re back now. And, as I said earlier, while it’s certainly not ideal, for research purposes we do have the dailies stashed on YouTube.
Sigh…guess I’ll have to work my way back to never leaving the house…

My heart goes out to all the contributers to the website. The loss is enormous, but with careful reconstruction, someone who has not been following regularly will hardly notice and in some years, hardly anyone will remember what was lost.
So much for trusting a provider to keep a backup of the website.
