It's 11+ days since the site went down. Since YDK talks more about 4chan on his Twitter, than MiH, there's a real dearth of knowledge out there.
I'll set it straight.
YDK got someone---not I---to work on the site around March 19th. The person made more changes than YDK asked of him, and the site went down promptly. YDK tried to get it back up, but found the database was corrupt.
The new developer was no where to be found. YDK reaches out to me for help. I check and find that not only is the database corrupt, but the current backup is corrupt as well. The oldest available backup is from 2009. I tell this to YDK.
The site remains down for serveral more days, then YDK does something. He doesn't tell me what but it sets everything to the drupal message you are currently seeing.
