It is sad to see that we lost posts in bulk,
Since I haven't done any kind of restoring of old Backups, I would conclude that it was the provider who had restored the data from an older backup since we already have an automatic backup script installed which backups the forum twice every day. but before I could restore the newer backup, users had already started posting that's why I thought of not restoring the newer backup since then users would lose their posts which were made by them recently.
It was a hard decision for me to stick with old backup.
Hope you guys can understand.
