Reminds me of the Couchsurfing fiasco back in 2006. http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/06/29/couchsurfing-deletes-itself-shuts-down/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/06/29/couchsurfing-deletes-it... http://www.couchsurfing.com/crash_page.html http://www.couchsurfing.com/crash_page.html Couchsurfing had a backup process in place, but failed due to human error. It's highly likely that magnolia had backups of some sort. Before we all start berating magnolia (and website owners in general) for not backing up their data, we need to know more about the real reason for this failure. Couchsurfing was able to come back from the dead because of limited competition. In this case, unfortunately, it will be easier for users to look elsewhere.
