Well I managed to get the forum back up and running after the major system crash a couple of nights back.
So here's the problems from the 6th feb the database has been corrupted somehow, i say somehow because I can't find the error but the forum software will not accept the restore from any date after this.
This means that every post, new user and modification from the 6th feb at 8.pm gmt has been lost and thats all there is to it.
It could be far worse, the server was obviously writing to the database as it crashed as the original machine db is wrecked, luckily i had local backup and a server bourne backup and from the 2 have managed to recreate everything up to the 6th. So there we have it, if you registered after the 6th I'm sorry but you will have to re-register.

After 2 days of hard work i guess i just threw the towel in.
if anybody is a mysql wizard and doesn't mind crashing through a 9mb database for FREE please let me know!
