barganews off line for 3 days

Well, that was a hard couple of days!

As you may have noticed barganews has been off line since Sunday evening due to a hard disc failure on the main server.



The backup of all the data took some time to sort out and get back up on line due to the sheer size and complexity of barganews these days. Anybody notice the front page from 3 years ago that was accidentally put up on line for a few hours ? Quite nice to see just how far the site has evolved in the last 5 years wasn't it ?

Ok, we are now back up and once again in business. Please be patient for a while while we sort out all those loose ends .... things that require database movements will be off line for a while while they are sorted out, stuff like the forum and calendar of events, for instance.

Somebody with a wicked sense of humour posted an image on another forum claiming that Google had published an article saying that gnomes had taken over barganews.

Thanks Deety for that bit of light relief in what had been a couple of very depressing days.
