And yes, I definitely recommend everyone back up important character or thread info, because you just NEVER know. The internet is a downright bitch sometimes.

Well. To cut a long story short... because our version of the board is from like 2004, all the internet related stuff that we need to keep it running is out of date and is being slowly phased out of the internet. So to make it work, I had to find a server that would run this SUPER OLD STUFF that most hosts don't use, and to use specific versions.
The host won't admit it but I think they changed something in their back end that caused the versions of the stuff to become misaligned and so the board couldn't open the database because it was reading the version incorrectly.
I did also end up restoring a backup from November 2022 so I apologise, you're missing stuff from like November to March... sorry.
