Guys.. I have some really bad news. I'm still a little pissed about this so bare with me.
As some of you may remember, I switched us from running the server on my home computer to a real server with cheap hosting from a friend. He assured me everything was safe and backed up daily. Today, I asked him why the server was down and he told me that he made a mistake. Apparently, a typo that he made while running a command not only deleted our minecraft server's files, but many server files including backups. I asked if there was any way to recover our files, and he said no. I called him an incompetent moron and well now we're not friends anymore.
Basically.. we lost everything. Almost a year of minecrafting gone.. I don't even know what to say but I'm sorry for putting trust in someone who I thought cared for his clients. I backed up the server files to my own computer once or twice, but I may have deleted them since that and even so, a significant amount of progress would be lost.
I don't know if anyone would be motivated to start again. I wouldn't be able to find a deal like that, but if I have to pay more to ensure that the guys managing the servers don't magically delete everything, I will. I feel really bad about this and I'm pissed that I wasn't more careful. >___>
