Apparently our server HD was full. Trust me when I say we are more than upset...

The HD was not full...There was a disk error on the server the discussion groups reside on, we restored the disk and encountered some fallout as a result.....

It was handled as quickly and efficiently as a disk error could be handled...

The site was overwritten with a 10-day old backup, and it took some time to locate the proper current version; steps are being taken to improve the backup system!

I guess screaming at the tech's at my ISP wasn't worth it huh?

I had the same problem too, I got it when I clicked on the PIII link from slashdot. It went away later, so I didn't care http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif
