Hi all
well been beavering away in the background, thanks by the way to all who sent me messages saying they know what i am going through and to persevere
I managed to recover a backup of the first 3000 members who joined the site and convert and import that into the new database.
This has the pro of meaning that the first 3000 members are now reinstated as before but they will still need to contact me regarding activating with our new activation subscriptions (No Fee of course)
The Con is that if they have re-registered over last few days it will cause issues as they will have duplicate accounts (Unless they used a different username and email address)
If you fall into the latter category get in touch so we can remove one of the unneeded accounts.

Just updating this thread and stickying it for any members whose accounts were lost.
The primary drive out of the server just got back from the specialist data recovery company and i looks like they managed to get the majority of data back
I am scripting away now to fudge the forum posts back into this new site and also the user accounts that were lost (Its akwkard as need to take into account those members who have recreated accounts etc)
As stated before if anyone tries to access the site who has a valid active account previous to the hard disk failure and they cannot get in, then follow the steps below:-
1. Create a new account on the site using same username and password as before (Make it easier on my scripting)
2. Activate the account by clicking on the email that the website sends you
3. Go to paypal site and find the subscription ID of your subscription to the site.
4. email me at accounts @ trandumper.com with your new username and your paypal transaction id.
5. i will then enable your subscription.
Once again sorry for the inconvenience, i have a HUGE backlog of emails, but am working through them, so if you dont get any response or your account isnt working straight away dont fret, i WILL get to your account, but it may take 3-4 days I'm afraid.
