Archives and Profiles down (temporarily, I hope)

FYI:

  The archives and the profiles are currently down. The
hard drive in the machine that serves them has decided to
die. I'm currently pulling as much data as I possibly
can from that machine before it dies completely (which
is imminent, as it crashes if I try to read from certain
parts of the hard drive). I do have everything backed up,
so at the very worst only the last couple of days will be
lost.

   A buddy of mine is helping me out with some hardware;
we're going to scrounge together enough bits and pieces
to throw together a linux box to take over. (Just a
486 DX2/66, but its actually more powerful than the machine
it will be replacing, if you can believe that.) :-)

  Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that the
archives and member profiles will be offline for a little
while. I think I'm gonna try to pull an all nighter to
get the new machine back online, so hopefully it'll be
back to normal tomorrow.
