Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
yup , thats pretty unfortunate , but i guess admins are working on it already 
some mirrors for download are still active though , as i did some manual research via filefront and the files are there its just the link from NC to the maps that got screwed in the process ..

I have no information. Have not had a chance to corner Sir_Brizz on the subject. Not only are the downloads brokens, all maps added after mid-2006 were lost from the site (though the files still exist on the mirrors, as mentioned above).
Some hours (or maybe minutes) after NC was online agian I was able to see all the new UT3 Spammaps and other new stuff. But none of the links worked.
Most important thing that we need to know is: Is there a backup from nalicity's database!?

Wow, it sure would be terrible to lose a year and a half of maps, ratings, reviews, and comments... It would pretty much be as if NaliCity was shut down during that time period...

Ok...it's been weeks since the crash happend and there's still no statement/news or anything posted somewhere, not at the homepage nor here in the forums. I know it's not easy to manage a site as big as this one and I'm sure that it isn't easy to solve the problems that were caused by the crash, but I actaully expected at least a news posting. Something like: "We got some problems and we try to fix it."
A lot of people want to know how things will go on...there are several threads in nearly every unreal mapping forum I know. The peoples start to loose trust in nalicity and I'm sure that's exactly what you don't want them to. So please give us some info.

I have been away for two weeks and know just as little as all of you. I will try to get hold of info and report on frontpage. It doesn't look good though...

But all the ones not in the pending list? Because the pending list is a small fraction. Like the forts of times packs and all that. And can UT3 and GOW support be easily added again or is it quite a bit of work again?
UT3/GoW support should still be there. Are there problems with that right now?
The other files that were added I'm not sure how to deal with. Mass will probably have to weigh in on that one. The files are in FileWorks and on the filesystem, but they are not in the database, so NaliCity doesn't know they are there.

thats why i said to just claim the maps without uploading , maybe that will relink the files directly to the mirrors :/
It would be nice if the database could be recovered... but failing that: GoW and UT3 support can be fixed by putting them back in the database. Its rather pointless to try to recovery any of the new maps without the database data because we lost the map data and user data. Trying to recover them would be a grueling process, the maps would have to be scanned, have to be reassociated with the users, etc... we're talking manually processing like 1000 maps. There are other difficulties too, like determining which 1000 files need to be re-imported.
Therefore, either recover the database or put the gametypes in the database and be done with it. Uploading maps that were lost will result in them being overwritten in the file space once they are approved and added to NC.
