Fellow Gamers Forum members, our host has recently moved their main servers to another one. But that has caused problems for this forum. Yesterday we have broken the record of 200+ posts in a day but its all gone now. Everything from Saturday Morning to Saturday Night has been erased and cannot be restored. Yesterday we broke the record by having 4 consecutive days of 100+ posts.

I urge that you help us get all those posts back because in one day we have lost well over 200 posts and more information.

I am sorry for those that have posted a lot to help this forum grow but with your help we can do it again. I will probably move this forum to another server of my own by the end of the month to make sure this never happens again.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvienience.

Gamers Forum Staff.

If you didnt notice the forum time is a little messed up as well. I will try to fix that for you as soon as possible.

I think that I should just call an official tie in the Spammers Corner section I told you about. I had posted a lot, but it's gone. That interferance in the contest messed it up. :(

Well.......... hey Linux, maybe you can explain the problem and call a tie for us. It would be a waste of time to redo all of it. Oh yeah, did we lose the GFP we got from our posts?

If you lose posts, you lose the GFP's. It's not his fault though. But too bad we lost it, I was all at it yesterday, lol. Oh well, have to get back on it again.

Haha, that sucks, maybe you should find a more reliable host, or even a cheap paid hosting, or better still, get someone who already has paid hosting with spare space to host you ;).

lol well they are still great, i cant do that, they are the reason why i am here, my first cpanel host, i received a lot of help from them in the past, the problem just happened when they sold the host :( but the new owner looks like he needs some help so i dont know anymore but its still great, i'll host one of my blogs here for sure.
