Our posts may have been lost, but that does not mean we are down and out. Magfest.org will rise again from the ashes more brilliant then ever. Do not think of the posts being lost as a bad thing. Instead think of it as a purging so that new growth can occur. Take this opportunity to remember all the best things about Magfest. Collect these memories here. Let us know what makes Magfest great for you.
Not a huge loss.
It didn't seen to me that there were all that many posts to begin with that were less than 2 years old. Hopefully the forum will be a bit more active in this incarnation.
