Downtime today: Database corrupted

Hey everyone,
Milovana was down today and when I brought it back up unfortunately the database was irreparably corrupted. I had to restore an older version from the daily backup.
This means:
- Anything posted, edited, deleted, any changes at all that happened after May 20th, 2013 10:09am UTC have been reverted. Sincere apologies to anyone who has lost data.
-
The forum search index has to be rebuilt, this will take a while (hours, maybe days) during which the forum search won't be reliable. Update: Forum search is back!
-
The webtease search index has to be rebuilt, I'll figure out how to do that tomorrow. So for now webtease search won't work. Update: Tease search is back!
- Sessions are reset, so everyone has to log in again.
- Vote diffs are lost, but they're only used for an obscure webtease recommender feature hardly anyone knows about, so don't worry. Just - if you do know about and use that undocumented feature, that's why it's not working right now.
I'll post here again when everything is back to normal.
Sorry again to tease authors or forum posters who lost any work - the database was corrupted, there was nothing I could have done.
Heads up!
Seraph0x

Was worried when you said earlier version, thankfully it was only a day and a bit. Hardly anything lost which is the second best case scenario imo.
Thank you for your work
