As most of you are already aware, last Friday Fordmods.com suffered from hardware failure.

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is, as you've probably already discovered if you're reading this; Fordmods is back! It looks pretty much the same, and it should work the same as it did before the crash. A few things will be slightly different as we've restored from a slightly older backup.

The bad news, well - we've lost all the posts, topics and users. Some website functions aren't working right now, but over the next week they will be fixed. Please contact me if you have any issues with the site.

Almost 2 years ago we started with 0 users and 0 posts, and in no time we hit 12,000 users and 200,000 something posts. Lets get back into it - Fordmods Take 2.

For sure - we'll have plenty of users and posts in no time!

I had a great day today, and to come home to this! Well it just got better.

Thankyou for doing this Waggin, we realise it takes a lot of time and effort - and it is appreciated!

Thanks everyone for encouraging Brad to get the site up and running again. I was looking forward to at least a couple of months of his relatively undivided attention. Now he'll be too busy to see me icon_razz.gif
I guess I'll just have to see him at the meets! icon_lol.gif

Welcome back.
I was almost gonna rip the fordmods sticker off my back window cause I didn't think the site would return......Lucky I decided to wait icon_smile.gif
I was sad when I saw fordmods had gone. Had it not been for internet porn I would have thrown my computer away, LOL

But in all seriousness, Welcome back icon_biggrin.gif
