If, as I read the message, is true and there was a huge database error/crash, I highly doubt it's something that could just be fixed in a snap or even a few hours. Sounds like a total nightmare to me and I truly feel bad for the people who are probably being kept late working trying to figure out what the devil is going on and how to fix it - as in fix it so it doesn't happen again (hopefully).
Remember, to err is human, to really mess things up requires a computer.
I'm also sure that Adam, Donna and the rest of the staff are all on pins and needles too. I know I wouldn't be getting any sleep until I had answers, solutions and things were working again if it was my site (I know they don't own it, but they have a truly vested interest in their "baby").
I'm having problems with my own computer, I'm no techie, so I'm really clueless ... CPU suddenly running at 100%, system lockup, spontaneous shutdown/restart - no virus or spyware, I've scanned everything with every tool possible. And that's just 1 personal computer. I can't concieve of what working on servers must comprise!
wow, I never really thought of it that way myself. I can imagine all these people complaining and cursing TNT right now for their blunders, but not one of them stops and thinks about the kind of hell that TNT must be going through in order to fix the site.
