Yes, the Tech Section will return.

We'll just have to see what condition it is in when it comes back.
There may be some missing content.

We appreciate your continued patience (and lack of stupid questions) while we deal with the problem.

Just a thought. Would it be possible to make a Fabrication sub forum?

That way people can make new threads about a certain item/project. So, then when one of us want to view it we don't have to search through hundreds of pages. It seams to be a popular enough thread to warrant that, no?

No wonder every time I searched google and went on a thread on zilvia, the thread wasn't showing. Must have been in the Tech section.

I would like to second this. The fab thread was one of my favorite on this site.

A dedicated forum can split the questions, how-to posts, etc out of that single thread and into something organized.

Not being a smart ass,

How does this happen? Do you just go on the server and "poof" it's gone?

Just was wondering the other night.

Data corruption, lack of backups, someone accidentally deleting the wrong thing (combined with lack of back ups), etc.

There's a few options.

No idea they are being pretty mum about it beyond saying it will be back when its back.

I just hope that certain stuff does not wind up getting lost. Like the review thread of my engine mounts and the roll center thread just off the top of my head. There is definitely a lot other good data in there as well though. It would be a real shame for the forum if it got lost.

A lot of the good stuff on Zilvia was in the tech section.

One this about this, google has a cache... so you can still look at the majority of the forum if you bother to use it.

There was a server incident last week. Some of you may have noticed the outage. During this time the Tech section was corrupted. This caused the section to fail.

Our server admin has been dealing with some urgent family health issues and was not able to fix the back-end connection till today.

We now will be evaluating the extent of the corruption. We will then determine if it can be repaired or if we will have to restore it from a backup before the crash.

We would like to repair the data if at all possible. This may take some time as the database is quite large. Rather than loose the current posts and threads due to a restore from backup.

We appreciate your patience as we work though the complex issue.
