Hello!

The forum has been down for a few days due to technical problems. The problem is still unknown, but it had to do with our database. Something was wrong with it. Unfortunately, none of us had a fresh backup for the database, and the earliest one we had was from 4th of November. That´s why topics later than that no longer exists, and the same goes for members. We have lost approximately 10 000 posts and 64 registrered members. I can assure you that we had no other choice than to do this.

I certainly hope that the members who had registrered, will register again. From now on, we will do these database backups at least once a week. So in case a similar thing happens, we won´t lose as much.

I know this sucks, but it beats having to start all over again.

Well, Jimmy.. The old nick is working. so..?

[Frisko]

Oh well, FI forums are back and this is the most important thing.

Of course it sucks that so many posts are gone, but there's nothing we could have done. I wish I saved more of the stuff I posted such as pics etc.. but now I learned my lesson the hard way.

I'm a bit concerned about Prediction League and FI Oscars, I hope all that work is not gone in the bin, Han put a lot of effort into it together with other people.

Now let's work together to put back as much stuff as we can into the forums.

Thanks to Jimmy for working hard and getting us back on track.

You guys should thank Handoyo above all. Without his backup of the database, we would have to start all over.

The administrators and moderators really do a vucking fantastic job. Keep it up. Thank you all!

By the way, also many thanks to Fabio for providing alternative forums while FI was down (unfortunately I couldn't post on them due to technical probs) and for working his ass off to improve them. Well done!

Thanks for your hard work guys!

p.s as a IT analyst I know how vital data backup is!

[Fabio]

It's just a little thing Francesco!

But yeah, even if we are back in time, I think we are God damn lucky to even be here so once again thanks to Jimmy, Han and all of you!

Welcome to the forums, I hope you have a good time here amongst your interista family. I see you are from Belgium, it's the first time we have a belgian fan here, I hope that you keep on posting.

To introduce myself to you and all the new members, my name is Hamid (pronounced Hamed, not Hameed ) and I live in Canada and my favourite players are the entire squad and I hate Juve to the bone.
