Server outage and database restore

sadly we still don’t have access to the old one which is why we decided to use a backup from last night so we can get the forum up again as quickly as possible, because of that any post published after the last backup (again last night) is sadly gone…If you signed up in that period we kindly ask you to register again. We will do anything in our power to make sure this does not happen again…
Cheers and sorry again,
Paul
