I unfortunately found out that some of the Proboards servers, including the one that TSR operates on, became infected with a derivative of the Conficker virus. The virus was designed to attack forums, deleting every board except the first created one. Thus, everything here was lost except for the Corkboard and the Daily Market.
How did we salvage the Daily Market, you ask? I recently created a separate board for my access only, called Z's Corner. In it I had moved records of certain topics, including everything in the Daily Market. I was then able to recreate the board and restore all of the topics that were once in there.
Unfortunately, Z's Corner was also partially affected. Most of my other records were deleted by the virus as well, so at the moment we only have two boards.
I'm sorry to say that all pending battles, inventories, and Gym data are unrecoverable. I have contacted Proboards and they said there was nothing they could do about the virus.
We must unfortunately start TSR from scratch. The only good news is that no accounts were affected.
