From what I've heard his computer has crashed and he is using a backup. I'm hoping the data has not been lost.

Sad news. I hope that his data is still intact. I had been looking forward to learning more about what the community was up to. He does great work and was looking forward to what else was in store.

What BFett said. I don't remember what he told me about getting back up and running, but he said as soon as he's able the stats will be even better than ever.
You guys didn't miss anything. My laptop suffered an unknown failure where it would power down and reboot at a progressively faster rate. I was able to recover all my data from it, however it became unusable. I started with a virus sweep, which then progressed further onto defragmenting the harddrive, system restore, registry cleaning, system recovery, and then a total harddrive wipe. None of these worked as I couldn't recover the system or reinstall the software without the laptop powering down in the process. I originally thought this was a software issue, as I could boot to safe mode with networking and operate relatively alright. However eventually safe mode failed to load up itself. I removed one harddrive and wiped the other and tried to reinstall that way, but the system still powered down, which led me to believe it was a hardware failure that as of the moment I am unable to identify.
So, I have been computer hunting/shopping for a bit now. The laptop semi-death has led to a failure on updating statistics too (that and the beta playing-since I might be allowed to say that?).
I am back at school now, where I have a lot more resources at my disposal. Once I get moved into my apartment expect the statistics to come up fast. I have been extremely frustrated at my inability to continue this over the last month+, but **** happens.
My sincerest apologies for the delay. The statistics will return though (hopefully sooner than later!)
