0 topics... All posts have vanished!

Forum Url: http://taurialliance.smfforfree2.com/
Just logged onto our smf forum and see that all of our posts have vanished. Forum has been operational for about 6 years and we had over 100k posts!

Any idea what caused this and can we please get them back? I have never seen this happen before.

EDIT: stiil says " 130037 Posts in 9856 Topics by 582 Members", but every board says "0 Posts   0 Topics"

Looks like I made a major mistake on my spam cleaning script.

Yes all posts are gone as of right now...
Any posts made 9/30 are gone for good.

Please can you explain what 9/30 means in this sentence? Do you mean this was the date of the latest backup so posts after this date are gone, but ones earlier can be restored?

That is the last time I have a backup.
I am not sure what went wrong tested on a couple of forums. I was cleaning any members had links and zero posts.
I am extracing backups now for smfforfree2

Do not post anything in the next couple hours until I let you know. It will take a little bit of work to get the data.
I will overrite the current topics/members/messages table with the backup table.

It will probably be at least a half hour to hour before the backp is back....
