Oh my, that sucks SO bad man, sorry to hear that
My "botched site" story, last week I did no changes, but my host somehow quit running "cronjobs" (they are needed to update the site), so my site NipponIdols.com went from it's all time peak at 40k/day traffic, to 0 ZERO traffic for 2 days
finally I got it all fixed and now it's back up to 34k/day, it's been a bitch trying to get it back to it's previous peak
Shitty situations all around.
Sucker, good luck on getting your traffic back up man
