Anyone who created a pilot or posted any kills over the past 5 days will unfortunatley have to re-register and re-post or pull their kills. There was a DB corruption on a backup we were relying on that stretched back to the start of the killboard-pulling testing. Based on the amount of risk and effort involved in fixing it we judged that rolling back to the start of the testing would be better. We now also have two DB's, for production and dev, as well as the dev / release versions of the site code. So combined with a different backup strategy as well, this shouldn't happen again.
edit: We've discovered it's slightly worse and better than that all at the same time... The worse bit: all the registered users have gone - not just from the past 5 days. The better bit? all the kills posted right up to yesterday should still be there. (In an hour or two, after we finish rolling the DB forward)
