And some word of mouth advertising doesn't hurt either, to fellow fans that you know and think would make good additions to the site.

I tell all my B&G friends, and few get motivated to visit. I'm not sure why. This forum has seemed like family for more than four or five years now for me. When I got the error message, I felt like I had lost many hundreds of friends with no way to re-connect.
Intelligent discussion is great, but sometimes I just enjoy bringing a little humor to the discussion.
It's great you are able to bring the site back, but I'm sorry about the circumstances that brought this about.
I think I will go in and change my User CP, or thread subscription or something. I echo an earlier comment about some sort of e-mail system for members about any other drastic shutdowns should help ease our worry.
