First, the good news. By chance I was able to find a dump I did of the site's database at home from June 2007 that I had forgotten about. I must have made it when I started thinking about ShinyUniverse. So instead of losing over a year's worth of stuff, we're only missing about 4 months, which is still a lot of stuff.
There's been some reports of weird messages being posted on the site in Chinese. I have also been told that there's been about 6000+ attempts yesterday to access the site from China. They're in love with us over there. They should just order several millions Serenity DVDs to show us how great that love is.
More news soon.

I aim to misbehave, but I usually miss!

Is there any way to ban people with IPs from China from being able to register & post? (Due to my limited knowledge of these things, I'm not acutally sure if that would help...)

Speaking as a person who has posted 300,000 words of a continuing storyline in the BSR since April of 2007, may I just say "Thank You" for finding this latest backup. I'm hoping there's another one lying about somewhere that you will run across, but getting even this much content back is a major miracle! You're doing a really great job under difficult circumstances! Bravo!

FOR YAY!!! 
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

So does that mean we can start posting? Thanks so much for all the work and concern and care. You're a big damn hero.
