Subject: Message Base Blows Chunks!

The server that this site is hosted on has had a problem over the last few months that has caused this Message Base to self-destruct.
The system would THINK the disk was full, so when someone left the NEXT message, all the dynamic files (those that are rewritten everytime a new message is created) were written to "0" file length and the replacement files were NOT written, thus a total loss.
This weekend it did it again, BUT I caught it in the act! I reported this to the web host who ALSO saw it this time.
The whole server was replaced and I HOPE this is the last of such nonsense. Of course, no backup was written either so we start from scratch YET AGAIN.
The previous message base archives are available for download from the Archive section of this site. Just click through the path:
Home / History / Archives
Both files are there in ZIP format.
Now, on with life once again. Sorry about the site but as they say, "thems the breaks"...
