8:35pm Update: Sometimes, even though everything seems to be going well, life throws you a curve. Apparently, there was a problem with the "posts" table in our database - this is the main table that holds all of the post information. I tried running a "repair" command on the table and because it is so large, the server ran out of space while trying to repair it. Which means...the posts table was completely hosed. However, I do have a backup from the 19th - so we will lose some posts, but not too many. Everything else should be saved - private messages, etc.

I sincerely apologize, but when you're working with a forum of this size, you're bound to encounter problems. Hopefully this is an isolated incident and once we get the posts restored, it will not occur again. To restore the posts table, I have to upload the database which is over 1.6 gigs in size and will take about 11 hours. After that, it will take some time to import the table again and fix the mix-up we ran into today. So...long story short, come back tomorrow :)
