Anyways....apparently the 4 days that the site was down google decided to do it's crawl (just my luck...LOL) and has now compltely taken me off it's index and gave me a Page Rank of 0 (I realy miss my Page Rank of 5....)
Is there anything I can do about this to tell googlebot that i'm online again? Maybe submiting my site?
Or...shoudl I jsut wait and hope that I get my page rank and have my pages reindexed (actually a lot of content is down...so i'm not in the great3est rush...but all content shoudl be restored by a week or so...).
Oh well...not much I can do about it now except hope :-(

How do you know this if your server was down?
As for getting re-indexed - get plenty of inbound links from high PR/Traffic sites.
First Googlebot revisits at least once a couple of days after finding a site is down before removing from the index.
Second, a further visit is scheduled a week or 2 later for a shallow retrieve and reinclusion. Subsequent spidering results in full inclusion.
Net result about 3 to 6 weeks host induced hickup.
Well...I guess having it check back in 2 or 3 weeks may be a good thing...because the content won't be up for a while...there is a lot of it and transfering it to a new system is goign to take a while....
As for being indexed a lot...even when most of my site was down...yet i was still incexed with google and had my pagerank....that google spider (well...more like 6 of them at the same time...) would index my forums every other day or so (and i haven't even optimized it for Search Engines yet...I will do that soon thou...it's on my to do list) ;-)
EDIT:

I had a page rank of 5 before the server outage and now it is only 2 :-(
Could this be because the content isen't back up and there is basicly only one page?
I'll assume that maybe i was linked on some automated systems which then removed me and I lost a ton of pagerank or something....oh well...i'll get it back somehow or another.
Well...guess that this happened right when everyone else got there PR update...LOL...I just noticed something weird thou.
My front page, www.blablabla.com has pr 2 (which original had a PR of 5), but now my forums, www.forums.blablabla.com has a PR of 3 (which originaly had a PR of 0)....
Mmmm...odd...
