Update (11 January, 2007): Hang-on there friends, after receiving lots of good words from my friends and old PG supporters I decided to fight back the situation cause all peoples told be bad things happens in life where peoples loose their everything but it's not mean that we just left our boat alone in the sea of hopes..we need to make a struggle again and again..so I am going to re-build the PakGamers from the ground! I know it will take some time to reach the original status..but I know we all together will again make the Pakgamers one of the best and only dedicated hide-out for Pakistani video gamers.

Looks Like 2007 is a worst year for me :(
Dear Friends,
I have a bad very bad news! On Sunday 7th January, 2007 I was notified by
our datacenter that our server experienced a hard drive crash. This resulted in
the server Operating System to stop working which in turn completely crashed the
server.
Furthermore, I was told that the old hard disk would be connected to the server
in order for me to have access to recover any files on that hard disk.
My datacenter provider attached the old disk as a secondary to the new primary
drive. Originally the datacenter claimed that the account files would be on the
disk. However, after checking first hand, I have found that system files are
there dating back to 2004-2006, but there are no accounts in the /home
directory, nor are there any files in the /db/ directory for mysql. Thus I can
pretty much confirm now that all data has been lost. It's a bit upsetting in
that I was told there would be some sort of data available. Common sense would
lead one to believe that this meant the account or website files would be the
data they were talking about since that is really what matters most. However,
there were no files to be found.
I have lost every thing which I had, my all years of work is now vanish, I have
lost all of my high profiles websites including the PakGamers.com! all the
backup were on the server hard-disk so I have nothing in my hands now! looks
like this is the end..my dreams has been shattered.
Right now I am in the middle of my final exams..which are already messed up due
to this tension which is not getting out of my head :( anyway..I don't know what
to do..I am totally lost!
After my exams 16th January, 2007 I will see what to do next..I am only seeing a
one option i-e restarting PakGamers and other sites from ground-zero!
