Did anyone have a blog hosted at thebump.com?

I'm devastated by the fact that a blog I started here in 2010 has been totally deleted.  I had written the details of two pregnancies there, from finding out I was pregnant, to my birth stories, and everything in between.  I hadn't looked at the blog in several months, but am pregnant again and decided to log on to begin chronicling this pregnancy.  The blog was gone.  I emailed support and was informed that they removed/deleted all blogs.  They claimed to have "reached out" to people in July to let them know this would be happening.  I do not have an email from July informing me of this, and, additionally, how could they possibly think that sending out a single email was sufficient notice to remove people's blogs, even for those who did receive it?  Something like that is so easily missed.  This is a reputable website, and never in a million years when I began my blog here did I think they would delete it with, as they claim, no back-up or archives.  They are telling me that there's nothing they can do and that they no longer have archives of these blogs in their system, but I don't know if I believe it.  I feel that if enough people who were affected by the deletion of their blogs (an intimate pregnancy journal for so many) banded together, we could get them to look into this further and at least make an attempt to dig up our blog archives.  So many memories, simply gone. I can't just sit back and accept it.
