conspiracy theory #2 : you're actually cg and evoke this as if it was a joke so we rule out this possibility.

Yes, our servers were migrating to another data center earlier today, and I'm fixing some minor connectivity issues that appeared after the move. Closing this topic, since it references previous maintenance, and I don't want users to get confused.

Hi SG, I have some bad news today. In short, it looks like we're going to end up with entries missing from recent giveaways due to corrupt data. At the moment, about 90% of giveaway entries are not listed on the site. The majority of them are available in archived backups, and I'm downloading those now to see how much data we'll be able to recover. However, I'm certain the most recent entries for open giveaways are no longer available. That means you'll need to reenter those giveaways if you were previously entered. All giveaways that were set to end today have been extended 7 hours to offset the time the site was offline. Also, I just added 150 points to every user (up to 300 max), to help people reenter a few more giveaways.
This comes at a bad time because we're getting ready to move data over to a new database structure to help avoid situations like this from occurring in the first place. Nonetheless, I apologize for any headaches this causes and I'll keep you posted on the recovery process!
Edit: We'll be able to recover 90% of giveaway entries, and they'll be transferred when the site is updated to v2.
