What happened to TBDL.org?
The server it was hosted on was mistakenly reformatted by an incompetent ISP technician.
We lost everything during the format, including all our member databases, our forum post, gallery uploads... everything.
Over US$20,000's worth of software was deployed on attempting to recover the old database, and 3 different technicians have examined the drive.
However, despite great effort, we were not able to recover anything from the drive.
So, what happens now?
We've changed our name to ADISC.org (AB/DL/IC Support Community), and...
we're rebuilding the community, bigger and better than ever!
At our current rate of growth, we will have replaced everything we lost with new, fresh content within 10 months.
Yes, we really will be able to replace 4 year's worth of data in 10 months. We're just that awesome
Within a year and a half, we will be at double the size we were before the crash.
Within two years... who knows?
Why the change to ADISC.org?
Many reasons.
Long story short : we had to change the domain name, and this sounded like the best option.
What can I do to help out?
Check out the administrative stuff forum. I'll be posting there about ways the community can help me rebuild the website.
