Ivan,
If you are looking for any posts made before September 10th at 2am they were, unfortunately, lost in the hard drive failure we experienced. As our backups run at 2am each night we lost approximately 20 hours worth of posts...most of which occurred during the day of the 10th. Also, if you made signature changes on the 10th those would have been lost as well. Sorry for the incovenience but I'm glad we had a recent backup to restore from.

Jivan, I guess you missed the post on the front page, so here it is again.
Everyone,
First I want to apologize for taking so long to get MCO back up and operational. Unfortunately we suffered a hard drive failure and, given that I was in Topeka, KS for the SCCA National Championships, I did not have easy access to backup data to facilitate a restoration. I was able to do much of the ground work remotely (reconfiguring email, PHP, mySQL, web server, etc.) and now that I got back home this morning (Saturday) I was able to restore the remainder of the site.
I would like to mention that our database backups run at 2am each night and therefore the last good data backup we had prior to the failure was September 10th at 2am. Given this any posts made on September 10th after that time have been lost.
I anticipate there are some web content-type files that I have yet to find that must be restored. If you see some unusual text, missing text or pictures, etc. please post something in the Site Feedback forum and I will track it down. Also, if you notice any strange behavior related to the features of the site please post those as well.
Thanks for your patience during this process. It seems like these type of issues always arise when I am most likely not able to address them easily. Again, my apologies.
Best regards,
Mark
