To cut it short the site was lost and there were no backups, which means we could still get the articles and events from the internet, but all photos, videos, user accounts and groups have been lost. Once again, we're sorry. Please do recreate your groups and we can help you to get your articles and events back.

Neither server nor site have been compromised at any point, you're media is so safe not even we can get at it anymore. Also the new site and codebase played no role in the loss at all.
