Downtime

October 10th, 2007 by Techie-Micheal in General

The phpBB Team apologizes for the downtime of the podcast site. Due to a hard drive failure and then problems with the NIC on the server that runs this site, we were having trouble getting this back quickly. Due to the hard drive failure and other issues (database crash), the posts and comments were lost. The podcast files still remain, and we’ll be adding the previous 2 episodes back shortly.
