Hello, most of you already know that we suffer data loss through a burned down dc of our (database) provider.
Our provider just confirmed that there won't be any chance to get the server back running, the backup space was provided by the same provider and unfortunately just a DC further but it's still not known if the backup data is intact (let's hope).
(Note: If there's anything important that got uploaded via. file uploads on this platform we can recover it as only our database server got rekt)
For now we'll continue with a snapshot of the database (09.12.2020 - 1am) the forum will slowly but surely fix up in the next following days, plans to avoid such things in the future have been also made.
So the road map for the next few days:
Hope you all have a great day.

So the road map for the next few days:
- Quick fixes (put back images on our cdn) & fix registration / login issues.
- Get back the old server mirroring we had ~2018 (now I know why I was doing this)
- Configure off-site backups every day.
- Redundant database
- Fix up the forum in general
Hope you all have a great day.
