Hello and welcome,
It seems there is a real concern at individual level, but we can’t reply to each person. Respectfully i will have to point out to some related discussions with some answers, that might or not satisfy your query:

Fellow Manjaro users,
Our forums malfunctioned and all of the uploaded images were lost. We made an effort to recover the lost files, but the backups and archives were affected as well. We don’t yet know the root cause for sure, but our service provider speculated it might have been due to a botched update.
The missing files left the forum in a rather unpleasant state, and it could not be cleaned to a satisfactory condition. Therefore we decided to start from scratch …
I’m already missing it, had some good memories there.
I understand that the forum devs need time to get everything into a functional state, just curious what the path is looking like.
There are a couple more topics that might interest you
my credentials didn’t work and when i tried to send an email to recover and i never got an email so i created a new account with my prior Userid. did our overall stats for those accounts get lost as well or will those be ported? Have others been able to log into their account from the prior forum are are we all starting completely from scratch. just trying to varify.
Hello and welcome back
I’m sure that by having the issue with the forum was frustrating and concerning for all of us, but that didn’t affected in any way the OS, packages, updates or the ISO files. I would not worry about that at all.
The exact issue with the “old” forum is unknown even to bytemark that kindly got us with that server for long time. Nothing conclusive, just that no reliable recovery was possible, and after 3 days trying, we decided to go 100% fresh.
