Thanks to a huge human error, the key curezone server have been taken off-line and re-formatted, deleting almost everything. It is still not 100% clear how could this disaster even happen ... but it is 100% clear that it actually happened.

Those of you who love Conspiracy theories ... it has nothing to do with big brother. Most error was on my side.

Facts:

Data are lost without possibility to be recovered.
User accounts created during the last 45 days were lost without possibility of recovery.

Those of you who's usernames or passwords are not working .... you will just have to create the same username again ... all usernames and all changes on passwords and emails committed during the last 45 days are gone.


Use this page to recover your current password or to check if your username still exists:

Blog messages posted during the last 87 days, and blogs created during the last 45 days were lost without possibility of recovery (there is a very slight possibility of recovery of lost blog messages up to 45 days ago ... but if that is possible, it will be first recovered after April 15th).

A new server have been quickly established, and the latest available full backup have been installed.

Blogs and files uploaded suffered most losses (87 days).

The site is broken, and all that we can do is pick up the broken pieces and try to glue them together. We will learn from this loss, and will move on.

In the future, more time, more work and more money will be spent for more frequent full off-site backups which unfortunately take huge amount of time, bandwidth and storage space, and that was one of the reasons why we today don't have more recent backup.
Backing up off-site hundreds of gigabytes takes a lot of time, a lot of work and a lot of bandwidth.

We can choose to be depressed and to surrender, or we can move forward, and live with what we have. I choose to move on and work as if I never lost this battle.

Thousands of hours of my and hundreds of thousands of hours of your work are lost without recovery. That is just the depressing fact.


I am still working on recovering and debugging pieces of website that are still not operational.

I am sorry I am unable to do more to recover lost messages.

I have not slept much last 2 days. And all that to prove that time travel is possible. Who says Time Travel is impossible? :-)

Please do not email me.
I am sorry I will not be able to reply to all email messages I received during the last 3 days. I just have extremely important things to do right now.
