most of my message disappeared!!...one more try..!

I just got a message (at bottom)from Fortune City.com, where I have been posting various pictures of Mudcatters...it seems they had a disk failure:
...what this means is that I will have to re-do things...the good news is that maybe I will learn to do it right..(I still have all the pics on my hard drive and, I think, any comments you sent me in email..)I may or may not put it on Fortune City again...I will look to see if there are better choices...I'll be glad to take suggestions..or even farm this out to someone who is ahead of me in HTML & page construction:

"We would like to offer our apologies for the problems you may have been experiencing trying to access the files that you had hosted on FortuneCity. On Sunday night there was a disk failure on a storage device containing your homepage files, followed by a second failure that occurred on the back-up disk.

At this point your data became inaccessible on both the original storage disk and the back-up. A specialized data recovery team then attempted unsuccessfully to retrieve the corrupted data.

The hardware manufacturers stated that the mean time between failures is 1,000,000 hours (over 100 years), meaning the probability of two disks failing within 3 hours of each other is almost impossible. We have already enhanced our normal secure back-up procedures to ensure the improbability of such an incident occurring again.

You are a valued citizen of FortuneCity and we therefore want to help you rebuild your home. In lieu of the service disruption, we want to offer a special set of benefits for your continued active participation in our community. Please note these benefits are not available to the community as a whole but only to the minority whose files have been affected.

Any pages you create and have hosted on FortuneCity will NOT have any banner placed on them for three months.

The disk failure has not altered your status as a citizen of FortuneCity - your USERNAME and PASSWORD will still work as usual and you will still be able to upload files, access the Homebuilder, File Manager, FTP, Discussion Boards and all the other utilities available on our site.

If you have kept a back-up copy of your site you will be able to re-upload your files using either the file manager

Once again, we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding apologize for any inconvenience caused.
