Earlier today the hard drive in GilmoreGirls.org's server began to fail. The key being that the hard drive
began to fail (vs. actually biting the big one and dying). I'm happy to report that GilmoreGirls.org is now hosted on an entirely different (and brand new) server with much better specs (6 gig 10,000 rpm hard drive, dual xeon 2.8 ghz, 2gb ram). That's the good news.
The bad news is, and you've probably noticed, that we lost about a week's worth of posts/data. I backup the ORG Forum once per week and it just so happens the last time I did was on August 8th (tonight would have been the next scheduled backup). Losing a week of information ... sucks. It really does.
But I'm choosing to be optimistic! ORG Forum members who have been around long enough can recall the first time we lost the Forum (and
years of posts) to hackers. Now that was
terrible. One week of lost posts compared to years of lost posts doesn't seem that bad, right?
Thank you to everyone for hanging in there. Now go post double-time to make up for last week!

Special, special thanks to my friend
Chris for helping get everything back online.
