Hi,
If you are wondering why some messages are missing, it's because the host for this forum had a big disk crash. So everything from about the end of June is gone, including some members. I am really sorry about this and had no idea about it until afterwards!
So you guys will have to just register again.
Here is a message from their admin:

I would like to apologize for the forums who lost data over the past few hours. We experienced a hard drive failure on our main database server. This was an unfortunate incident that could not have been avoided by either our host or our administrators.
We've done everything we can to recover the data, unfortunately most of the data was recovered corrupt. Forums that weren't moved to the new server will be reverted to a prior backup. Any non-existent forums will need to be re-created.
We have taken measures to stop such service interruptions, as well as the slowness/downtime you have been seeing over the past few weeks. We will be using a clustered network solution, in case of one server failing there will be others to take its place. Therefore, what happened last night will never be able to happen again.
We expect to have the network upgrade completed by Monday, July 23rd. The new server network --which sets the stage for our phpBB3 release-- boosts total redundancy in almost all areas, increased processing power for faster load speeds, and a 24/7 backup system in place to make sure your data is always safe. In addition, we will have the backup mod online within a few days so customers can safely download a forum backup to their computer.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience. We value you as a customer and look forward to providing an even better service after the network upgrade is completed.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
