Hmmm... They seem to know about it now, thankfully. I wanted to see how many things I had collected in around 3 months and found this waiting for me...
ERROR : Sorry, but this section of the site is undergoing a quick fix or revision. We'll get it back up as soon as possible!
Now, the question is, is it a "quick fix" or a "revision" that has the SDB's down?
They could have used better wording than "quick fix or revision"--I'd have a little more faith in them if they did.
Although last night when the site came briefly back up, I had no SDB on one account, a full SDB on my second account, and the first page of a third account's SDB, all three SDBs were gone when the site came back online. As far as I know, everyone's SDBs are gone. And have been since when the site came back up around 10 am NST. And everyone has that same message where their SDB should be. My guess is that Neopets took everything down and hopefully is fixing it quickly but not doing a haphazard "quick fix" that results in missing items.
And, my guess, if our SDBs aren't returned intact, there will ba a mass exodus from Neopets--because unlike the shop glitches, TP glitch, and lost item glitches that have occurred from time to time, this one has affected every person that has an account. Think of all of the people trying to get the pack rat avatar. And, my guess, most people have stored all of their valuables in the SDB because it was supposed to be a safe place. Hopefully, Neopets realizes that, won't blow us off once again and tell us to just "suck it up and keep playing."

Don't worry, they must keep all your stuff in the database even if it crashes.

The point is, the stuff will come back ...eventually XP
I don't know if you were around last November when the TP glitch hit, but that was the general feeling of everybody when the glitch hit. Surely, we said to ourselves, they must have a backup. Well, the story from a reliable source was that the server holding the TP info "fried" taking all of the backup with it. Hopefully, Neopets learned a thing or two from that catastrophe and has a backup database on a different server than the ones holding the SDBs. Or there may be no way to get the stuff to come back.
Tested made this fabulous set for me!!! Isn't it great?
