Hello everyone, you may have noticed that Zetahelp wasn't available for most of the weekend and earlier this week as well. This was because there was a major server crash - where both hard drives (where one is supposed to 'stand-in' if the other fails) happened to fail at the same time!

This meant our host (Valcato Hosting) had to begin the painstaking and time consuming process of retriving the data (booting from Linux) to a temporary server before placing us all (over 300 users) onto the new server. To give you an idea of how long it took - it took 18 hours just to confirm the list of files that needed to be copied over to the temporary server.

Thankfully Zetahelp is now back online (since yesterday evening) and I've been making sure all aspects of the site are backup and running - for instance the Forums were down earlier as not all the user-data for the mySQL database could be retrieved.

Thank you all for your patience. If you spot any dead areas or have any comments, please let me know via the Forums or using the Contact Form.

p/s: Forgot to mention - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KERTH!!

Happy New Year to everyone! Hope you've all enjoyed the celebrations so far, no matter what you were doing - sleeping, watching the celebrations, jostling through the crowd, or hanging out with friends and family.

Anyway, have a wonderful 2007 and make the most of it!

p/s: The Zeta Top Sites script has just been upgraded to the latest version. Unfortunately I've somehow magically made some of the statistics disappear, so its almost a reset in a sense, but the reviews are (thankfully) still there! Some new fan sites (yey!) have registered to join the Top Sites list, including A Writer's Dream by goolgi and Zetastic by Compaq_xp_. I'm very much looking forward to watching these sites develop!

p/s2: Its been a long-standing rumour that Zetapets v3 could be released on January 1st 2007, but so far there hasn't been any official news. Hopefully some more details will be released soon.
