None of the active admins have full access to the database. If we did, then naturally we would've made a backup already. Azazel is responsible for ua.org but he's extremely busy. Several people, including myself, have undoubtedly mailed him already to discuss the situation. For our community, the best option would be to donate money/hardware to mpuk so they can keep the website online. That is of course assuming that there is indeed a hardware problem. Relocating ua.org to another host does not seem like a good option. As far as I know, keeping ua.org running costs a small fortune. Not only is it a very bandwidth-hungry domain, it also runs vbulletin/vbportal. I'm not sure about the current prices but a couple of years ago, vbportal+vbbulletin cost a couple of hundred euros in licensing and maintenance costs per year.
