Dear participants,

thank you for your patience while we were recovering the project. There had been a failure of both SSD discs in a mirror. hoarfrost then did a good job on updating the server and recovering as much data as possible. We had backups of the most important data but not a total backup of everything. I recovered a large part of the forum (sadly excluding the private threads belonging to teams); some particular threads or posts could not be recovered. We hope it does not cause too much inconvenience.

Most of the results you reported before the maintenance have been received, and the credit had been assigned. There may be still some technical glimpses but overall the project is working!

Thank you for participation and the computing power you provide us.

Natalia

Hello! :)

A small addition:
1) All results were received and processed, all scientific data were saved;
2) All hosts, participants and teams with their credit and badges were saved;
3) All papers, slides, images and results displayed in account were saved;
4) Most of forum threads and posts have been restored - thanks to magnificent work on Natalia;
5) Participant profiles were lost (it's a good reason to update them! :));
6) Data from internal archive about workunits and results completed during last several months were lost and on performance graphics like this there will be a gap (if this should be published).

Thank you for participation!
