How about Quiddy's Quarry?
("Squiddy" without the S.)
So I just made a post in the cafe corner about how my computer's hard drive has completely messed up and all of Meat Quest is lost.
Yes, all of it, all of the script, voice acting, animation, everything. Sorry guys, but it may not be out for EVEN LONGER now.

dang, sorry to hear.
Is there any hope of retrieving the data?
Oh man, that's horrible.
Like Backyard, I'm wondering if there's anyway to retrieve some of the data.
For example, did you ever send the script to another animator? Perhaps he still has a copy.
I know you can't get everything back like that, but maybe that can provide a helpful base.
And for those who can't see your other post, here's the relevant part: (Bold mine)
So about a week ago something heavy fell on my computer and it got all messed up and stuff. Today I just got a call from the computer repair place saying that all my files were lost and they couldn't recover them.
I still have the copy of the script you sent me in my gmail, and I just emailed it to you. I also have my voice acting lines still saved if you decide to continue with the film.
I'm so sorry about your computer and all your hard work getting lost.

I can remember when something similar happened to me two years ago. A certain someone slammed the lid of my laptop down so hard it broke the hard drive. I not only lost some cool(ish) projects, but lost all my old work which never went on YouTube.
It's awful when things like this happen, sorry to hear.

Oh thank you so much. Now I don't have to write it out by memory.
However all this did get me thinking that seeing as I now have to do all the voice acting and animation again, I could take this "opportunity" to make some changes to the script to make things better (seeing as I wrote it over 2 years ago, I think I've got a little better) and of course my voice has matured a lot more now.
However animating all those scenes all over will really be a pain in the butt.
Good for you for not giving up! I'm sure it will be even better than before. Of course, I am happy to voice all my lines over again, including any new lines you write.
I wish you much inspiration and smooth filming! 
I still have a copy of the title sequence that you showed me on Skype if you need that.
Don't worry, I still have that on another computer. Thanks though.
So I got a new external hard drive the other day so now (after I get my computer back and working) I'll be storing all of my important files on there.
And on your computers hard drive; always have everything in two places if it's valuable.
Hahah, don't worry, I definitely won't forget to keep it on my computer as well.
