As with everything else in my life...
I had the Hard Drive that contained all of the covers, templates and raws die on me this week before I could back the data up. So I may be out of the game for good now. I just wanted to stop by and leave a note for all you to know I had a great time working on this project and hope against hope this Data Recovery place can recover all my work and I can come back.

That stinks man.
This can happen to anyone. My hard-drive took a crap several months ago. So, if anyone needs a place to store their working files and so forth I am offering, as before, free FTP service for any cover artist. This is the best way that I can contribute to this project. PM me if you require this service.
And again, that really stinks man...

Yeah, that does suck.
I also lost my main hard-drive, and so almost all my covers are gone, as is my OpenBOR project and RPG Maker XP project. That's about 4-5 years of work down the drain. Happy days.

How much was lost (not posted to the site as a cover, template, or raw)?
And shame on you all for not backing up your data.

I had hard drive overheat and die once. Lost a bunch of stuff including all my family photos over over a 4 year time span since I had used a digital camera. Why I never got around to printing them off I don't know. All those pics of cross country trips and good times gone. :(

Must be a time of year for it - my main music drive is clicking away - about to die any day - desperately trying to copy everything off before it gives up (it's a 1.5 terrabyte seagate external - less than a year old!!) AND it's looking like i'll have to do a fresh install on my PC as it's misbehaving, and blue screening every hour or so. Think might need to replace the RAM too!! >:(

Its happened to me a couple of times(i keep a backup after the first one). I used a program called GetDataBack on the drive and it recovered almost all of it (thank god). Hope to see your triumphant return LJ.

I really hope we won't loose you forever lumber....
Would be a big loss!!!!!!

This is indeed horrible news.
Thank you for all the covers LJ42 over the years. I think you did 90% of the covers for my NES games. I am still amazed at how quickly you could make a high quality cover from a crappy scan I would send in.

man this blows.... it happened to me several times. Now I use a NAS station with 2 1TB HDDs in RAID1
it works pretty well.
