There was a hard disk crash on the server Goonersworld was stored on. Actually, it was a power strip failure that took down the RAID controller along with it, so the identical data that was on the 'mirrored' hard drives was also gone.
I have been working all night without any sleep restoring as much data as I can. Luckily, I could restore Goonersworld's database, but most of the attachments and stored avatars are gone. I have been restoring avatars individually for each user from my web browsers cache.
If you can still see your avatar, save it and reupload it.

I had to install a generic style and then modify bit by bit it to match Goonersworld's style.
