Diary-X down and out

Let's have a minute's silence to remember the fallen diary-X hard drive. Poor users, who have blogged there for so many years, only to have their data erased. Gone. But, they can always move over to Blogger! Trusty Blogger. Never fails

Here's an excerpt from Diary-X.

February 24, 2006
Dear Friends,
There is no easy way for me to say this.
Diary-X has suffered from an unrecoverable drive failure. Due to a combination of issues, the last backup (from December 2004) contained only configuration files and other non-essential files. We do not have any other backups for the site. All journals, user information, forum posts, templates, images, and everything else are all irrecoverably lost.
In the past several hours, I have had to decide whether or not I should put the site back online at all. Only those users who backed up their own journals (either using the journal download tool or otherwise saving each entry) would be able to reconstruct their journals. Everyone else would have to start over. Whatever developed as a result would still be called Diary-X, but it wouldn't be the same.
I believe it makes the most sense to close Diary-X permanently. Tentatively, the site will go dark on March 31st, 2006.
Thank you for being so generous with your donations during this crisis. Your generosity and kind words were the sole bright spots during this disaster. If you would like a refund, please send an e-mail to mdeken@gmail.com with your name and PayPal e-mail address, and we will process it as soon as we can, hopefully within 24 hours.
If you would like to discuss this matter further, you may contact me at the address below. I will do my best to answer your questions if they were not addressed here.
Regretfully,
Stephen Deken

Sorry folks, it's over.

Check this out. 250,000 multi-coloured 'superballs' bouced down the streets of San Fransisco to make the advert. It didn't use computer effects!
