Oops WSGF had a phpBB database issue
Unfortunately our host had a RAID array failure on our box. Once the box came back up, we then found that we had significant database corruption in phpBB, our forums.
We are working on a mix of recovery and rebuilding. We have a solid backup of the Drupal database, but have found that we don't have a good backup of the phpBB.
Our staff is actively working to rebuild and fix the corruption.
EDIT:
Unfortunately until this is resolved we have needed to disable any new users from registering with us, although we hope to enable this very soon, our existing members are welcome to login and post as normal.
We have re-enabled user registration.
We will be posting updates on the progress to our Facebook, Twitter and Steam Group, so please follow us there.
Alternatively you can come and join us via live chat on our IRC network at irc.wsgf.org on channel #wsgf for the most up to date information.
I want to thank all the members of our community for their continued support. Your donations of time and knowledge are what makes the resourceful, inviting and friendly community that we are. I cannot thank each of you enough for your past contributions, and want to thank everyone in advance for their future support.
Thanks for your patience during this time, and we look forward to being back better than ever. (And with better backups for phpbb.)
