Judging by the timestamps of the images that are currently in the system, I estimate that less than half a day has been lost; more precisely, no more than half a day up to Nov 24, 2014 11:26 am EST. So, anybody who posted something in that period should consider posting it again. That includes making a comment or responding to one, signing a log and even voting on something.
As for the forum, I'm not sure about that. I'm guessing that all forum messages posted in the same period mentioned above got lost as well; however, the timestamps for forum messages appear to be out of sync with those on the main site, and that might make it a bit harder to figure out if a message you've recently posted in the forum was during the lost period. Obviously, those that remember what they posted in the forum can check if all of it is still there, but otherwise... well, if it's gone and you don't recall posting it, then it's gone forever. Then again, if you don't miss it, it doesn't really matter that you repost it, does it?
