Status Update
I know not everyone has totally kept up with everything that has been going on, so just to let you know where we're at:
Feb. 26, the server on which we are hosted suffered a fluke SAN failure ("the equallogic controller crashed and when it came back up the volume manager couldn't see the provisioned volumes anymore"). We were unable to recover any data from the server.
Unfortunately, due to some confusion over our backup procedures exacerbated by my hiatus, our daily backups were on a different partition of the same SAN, and thus were also lost. The forum you currently see was salvaged from a partial backup from Feb. 18 (everything but the posts), and the post table from Nov. 29. The most recent wiki backup was Nov. 11.
We have been able to recover quite a lot of posts (particularly in affected games) via google cache and cache from users' browsers. You may have noticed that we have switched to using the subdomain forum.mafiascum.net for our url - this was done to hopefully delay losing google cache data, so if something you are interested in has not yet been recovered, please do try to find it or request that it be found here. Information on recovering posts can be found here, and we have a google spreadsheet for tracking recovered information here.
Thank you for your help and patience as we try to get back to normal.

mith, is there any way that old links can be redirected to this forum? Because (for example) when I click on links in the wiki it sends me to a nasty blank page. Or would that screw with the Googlebots?"I, too, would prefer to know the Xalxe of my demise." - Felissan, 2022

The easiest way might be to run a SQL query to update links in the wiki table backend."SAULRES you are THE man! Fav mod eva, no contest!" - Bert; "Saulres is a fantastic mod, if he is running a game everyone needs to join it." - FuDuzn

There's a small but nonzero chance that Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac could impact the site this weekend or early next week. Backups are myriad and ongoing, it's just that if power goes out to the actual colo facility or the backbone gets cut, we're gonna be blacked out for a bit.Retired as of October 2014.
