This is something that has happened before, but I can only recall one other time that this happened. Anyway, the site went down about 8-10 hours ago and I don't know the technicalities of it since it's not my specialty, but my guess was that there was a bug or glitch (Maybe even a virus. Again, don't know because I know nothing about computers and websites other than how to use them as a user) with the site and the only way to have the site fixed was to reset it back to a certain time, causing any posts, threads, likes, conversation messages, status updates, or any changes in general to be deleted. Unfortunately, anything posted or changed after Friday the 20th are gone for good. I can at least assure that this doesn't happen often.

I'm not certain precisely what caused the server error - but this is a very good answer. I have been here since 2009 and this has only happened once, maybe twice before - so it's incredibly rare.

My apologies to everyone who has lost likes/posts/messages, etc. :)

Oh well. Not a big deal,
As the viral outbreak proves: accidents happen
