This is important.
Our host basically informed us that they were going into liquidation and gave us until the 1st October to move the site to a new server. On the 4th September, they packed up, fucked off and disappeared.
This meant that the website went down very suddenly and we were not prepared for it.
I had a full back up of the site which was done on the 15th July. This is the backup that has been loaded.
In simple terms... any posts, threads, pictures, PM's, new users, member upgrades... basically anything that happened between 15th July and 4th September has been lost.
We are now on the new server, and EOC has now got it's OWN server. No more piggybacking. We have security and have futureproofed ourselves.
I apologise for the loss of data between the back up and the site going down, I should have done more regular back ups, but there is nothing i can do to resolve this, we will just have to pick up where we left off and get right back into it.
So, any users that have ALREADY PAID for premium membership, but are not shown as premium members, drop me a PM with your PAYPAL email address, I'll check the payment and then manually upgrade the account.
Any users who joined since the 15th July will need to re-create their accounts and, again, if you paid for premium membership in that time, same applies as above.
Any orders placed on the shop that have not been fulfilled in this time, all that data has been lost. You will need to email me with your order number (you should have received an email) and I'll make sure the bits you ordered are sent to you.
Sorry for the inconvenience guys.
Luckily, I started working on rebooting the site at 6pm tonight and had it up and working by 8pm... so we know that the back up and restore system works as it should. More regular back ups will be taken going forward just in case we have any more unfortunate sudden losses of data.
