Disaster! ...

I don't know exactly what it was yet but something happened when I
uploaded the 3 current events to the server a few minutes ago and it
wiped out the databases on the server and then sent an instruction to
the RAID backup unit to format itself. I almost threw up when I
realized that everything, and I mean everything, is gone and
unrecoverable. The only thing that wasn't wiped out are the WWP
system's site files. This means that everyone will have to upload
everything they're ever submitted to the WWP starting from day one. I
have turned on a Special Late Editing for everyone for every event so
you'll be able to get in without any problems. This Special Late
Editing will stay on until everyone has notified me they've finished
(please notify me off-list to keep the traffic down here). I've already
started gathering all of my submissions and text from 6 different
computers and a gaggle of hard drives.
I'm _ver_y sorry this happened and apologize for the inconvenience.
