Hi Guys,

Anne had to get the kids to bed, so she asked me to post in her stead-

We are first of all sorry for the down-time. It was unpreventable, unexpected and we had the team working hard on it 24/7 to get it all online.

Apparently this wasn't possible to bring it all back, so we opted to go with what we could bring back safely, and hoped that with the loyalty and consideration of our members, that you would understand why we came online now.

This is home for so many, and I was surprised as to the extent that I missed it! I know that with our posters/members/lurkers you will all help us build it back up to replace what is missing.

We understand that many months of posts are missing, and some people will have to re-register. But please understand that if we continued to be offline and trying to restore these recent posts, then we would face the real possibility of a longer crash that we couldn't control.

So if you have to re-register please do. And yes, the wonderful, uplifting posts, the TCS Community Awards, all that is gone with the wind. But with the wonderful, supportive people of TCS we know that you will stick with us through this, and we thank you so much for doing so-

We'll manage - I think everybody is so happy that TCS is back that missing some posts or awards pales in comparison. I think we've all had enough experience with computer problems to just shrug our shoulders and say, "That's life!"

YAY!!! I'm glad the forum is back up and running!


But it kinda makes me sad to see everything so empty

But I know we'll have a bunch of new posts in no time!

It's good to see the site back up. Some of us will always come back no matter what gets in the way.

Even though I recently haven't posted as much as I used to, I usually lurk and have really felt out of place not being able to log on the last few days.

Sure a few things have been lost in the process but the people are what make the community strong. Difference in post count or missing threads can always be replaced.

Glad to see TCS back up and running. Now life can get back to normal.

oh my!
I sensed something was really complicated and not right. Thanks to all who, I am sure, worked incredibly long and stressful hours to restore files and data, knowing that so much was not recovered. I refuse to use the word "lost" as we are not! We are here and kickin' and will rebuild it all again!
It will take time and hopefully bring us closer together as an entire team of very unique and beautiful Cat People.
