I’m sure we’ll look back on this and laugh, but right now I’m not smiling. I’m really sorry I messed up the good part of the site. I will try to keep you updated and a part of the process as I try to get the downloads available again as soon as possible.
Here is the plan:
—Edit the links on the Full Series Episode List to point directly to the video file. At least this way you can still easily access the episode videos even if you don’t have other details about the episode. Fortunately, I was pretty consistent in the file naming, so some copy/paste with minor edits should make the process go fairly quickly. This is now done. You can directly access the episodes by clicking the green ep number in the Full Episode List.
–Make a Google Doc of the Episode List and start putting together the relevant information again. (Original Airdate, IC name, Challenger name, description, etc.) I plan to have this posted in the next day or so and openly available to edit, so anyone can help with this process.
–Use that information to start rebuilding download pages for individual episodes. Do you want me to use the old system or is there another way you think I should do it?
–Re-edit links on the Full Series Episode List to point to the new information/download page of each video.
–Never update or touch the site again so I don’t screw something else up. (This step is optional.) 🙂
I’m definitely open to suggestions for improving the site as the process moves forward. Thank you again for your patience and for your support.

Apparently, something changed on the host end so that the site was looking on the wrong server for the database. As you can see, I’ve managed to find what happened and get it up again. I still have to fix the download page, but I will do that as soon as possible. Thank you for you being patient.
**Edit – The download page is being a little difficult. I’ll have to take a look at it when I get home from work. Sorry, everybody.
**Edit 2 – I may have killed the file database. (The files are still uploaded, but the program that I used to link to them did something funky with the database that stored all the episode descriptions, judges, info, etc.) I may have to find another solution. I really, really (really, really) don’t want to have to re-enter every single episode description + information. Maybe we can make this a group effort?
