In future though, if the choice is between you staying up and the site coming back, please sleep. I'm sure we can all go without a day of not discussing video games.
Just send out a tweet instead saying what's up.
Hope your day gets better from here.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileAhh. I did not realize that this site was hosted by a company you had direct links to (based on your tech podcast from a few months ago). That's much preferred (that it's something you have more control over).

My whole huge Majin post is gone!!!
It was so vivid, I cant forget a thing like that. I remember you said it totally sucks, something about a large brown koala.
damnit, I gotta go, another big storm is coming.
So Yoda, is it backed-up to tape or another drive somewhere?
R.I.P. All lost content!
Glad to see we're back. Thanks, Yoda!
Yodariquo said:To bring you up to speed on the last day. Due in part to incorrect handling of the server recovery, recovery went to reinstall. The data on the installation became completely inaccessible.
So the site has been restored along with the entire server being recovered to a new OS installation, and some data unfortunately has been lost between yesterday morning and now. Particular apologies to Bugs for his heartfelt blog which will unlikely be restored.
Avatars are not something that was backed up, so you'll have to reupload those.
The process is still ongoing on the rest of the server. And yes, it's 3am.
No apology necessary buddy. I will write another blog on the same subject once we are going stable again.
Thanks so much for your hard work in trying to get this place back up. Personally I think you should concentrate on your exam revision and preparation at this time and put all else (including vgp on the back burner for a few days). The people here are grateful for the work you are putting into this regardless, don't lose sleep and jeopardise your revision to do it even faster

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
We had a meltdown? Well done Yoda on getting things back.
Thanks for all the work Yoda. 
Glad the site is up and running again. Thanks Yoda for taking the time in maintaining this place.

Hey Yoda. I have a question.
Just to have some peace of mind since I worry about online security and all that, is everything fine now? The hacking incident this passed week scared me a little and I was afraid to come to this site for awhile.
I know you've been taking care of it which we all appreciate very much.
So just asking if we're completely in the clear and back to normal?
Thanks.

We're on a new server installation, and the e-comm site is offline until further notice.
