On the Road to Recovery

August 3rd, 2010

Recently, SLRC was hit with a corrupted database. Luckily, we have an excellent hosting provider, and I had some of the data backed up on my local machine. After many days of trying, our hosting company was able to restore my partial backup.

We did, however, lose some data. All the news for 2010 was lost, and our blog was also lost.

We will be recreating the news for 2010, and the blog will be started afresh.

I personally want to thank everyone for their patience in getting the site back on the road to recovery.
