LotsofSkins.com is "dead" (for now)

From Chaz:
It may seem all too coincidental. First skinz, then deskmod now lotsofskins. On Jun 21, 2001 at 11:11 PM EST when I went to back lotsofskins.com up, cuteftp caused a trashed response that deleted 90% of lotsofskins.com code and files. There was no way to stop it, it happened in less than 5 seconds. And error caused by myself and the software. The last backup I made of the site was in May 16. I was going to upload that and run it, and realized that it was only half of the uploaded artwork. Lotsofskins.com was more fun than anything else. I enjoyed the people, and the coding.
As I began to tell people of the problems that lead to this, I never once lost support for the site. For this reason, I have full plans to bring lotsofskins.com back. Not at all with the same code, and even a different layout. My estimated time until the site is back up is about two months. I'm sorry if none of this makes since, I am still a little bit shaken up. I did just delete 2 years of work, and thousands of dollars.

i can't even believe this, it's like there is a jinx over the skinning community.
i wish that i could help with the coding, but i'm only in the process of learning php/mysql, and am in the middle of a coding project right now.

Could this be considered an OMEN? I mean bad things happen in 3's and all. I do wish you well with your re-launch, and if there is anything I can help with, you know where to reach me 
Good luck and realize that at least you haven't lost your job.
