Hi everyone! We're sorry for the delay, but we've been doing our best to restore the replays and finally have an update to provide.
During an upgrade to the replays database, replay data was lost, and despite overnight efforts we may not be able to restore the database. However, we can confirm that battles prior to the last surviving backup (September 1st, 2020) will be restored shortly. Additionally, by using chat logs, we will be able to manually recreate replays for every match played on the ladder from that day onwards as well as every battle played on the Smogtours server. Replays will be created for ALL matches in those two categories, not just the ones that were uploaded originally. (Note that they will default to private) At this time we cannot confirm that challenge matches from after the 2020 backup was made on the main server will be restorable.
Restoration is a slow process, so please bear with us, as this is going to take some time. Our team has been working overnight on this task, and we will provide more updates as soon as possible.
