 This was solved kind of quickly. I think it was only a downtime of a few hours, and people just used [[Chat@Heyuri]] to whine about it while HARD got to work. All that needed to happen to fix the issue was to free up disk space, and restart the scripts. It was as simple as kaguya deleting the old inflated error log, and kuz and him throw away and replace the corrupted warmlog. The script initially starts entirely new posts, as if the instance was completely new, but this is quickly corrected to have their posts line up correctly with the message log.
-No data was actually lost. This is because the backend, KuzuhaScriptPHP+, writes posts to the warmlog, and then also to cold, long term logs that aren't limited, so every message dating back to 2022 was still there. [https://dis.heyuri.net/sw/bbs.php?c=58&m=g You can access them here.]

-However, the warmlog was lost. I'm not sure if it means any posts were lost, but it now means that you can't just flip pages on the frontend all the way back 5000 posts, until the warmlog fills up.
 Kuz says that they'll be doing smart server admin stuff to make sure it doesn't happen again, which is probably just cleaning the dust off his 5 year old server configs. Not like I'd know, I haven't hosted shit.

-When the posts mysteriously disappeared to another page, Strange World@Heyuri residents mysteriously completely forgot about the previous logs, thinking that /sw/ had become a newly, quietly added board. It's suspected the mod team went Men In Black to go ensure that the slip up is forgotten. Not me though. They never got me. I'll never forget.
+At some point in time (i dunno... i don't work there!), updates to the error log file in the nginx directory had ballooned up to a size reaching above 120+ GB. The exact cause is unknown, but this maxed out the disks that /sw/ was hosted on. (i'm assuming /sw/ is on a seperate disk to the imgboard...)

I think the database failed or something, so they just made a new one and made the old one read only. [[kuz]] came back to help and everything, it was nuts. You had to have been there.
