Sorry you lost your data, but you had it coming. Any data can be lost or corrupted, that's why a back-up copy is critical. Any freshman CS student knows this, but sadly the UDK like so many of the other services and activities at KU are no longer in the control of the students.
The Journal-World is a fine publication, but they should not be administering the UDK website. With the dirt cheap nature of IT hardware it is an absolute shame that the UDK does not provide KU students the opportunity to learn from silly mistakes like this one. The UDK could return to what it should be, an entirely student driven publication, by running its own servers administered by the students.
Come on students, take back your UDK, the Kansas Athletics website, the KU Marching Band (I despise canned music at football games), and all the other activities and publications that have been stripped from your control.
