testing

what happened to all the posts from November 15 to the present?

 

This was simply the fastest, quickest, least painful solution. After talking to about 30 members of the community, we decided the sacrifice of posts was worth not losing anything else.

 

19th

and i would imagine that they didn't have everything backed up entirely from teh 20th on... so they just went back to their last full back-up

cool with me

lost a couple hundred posts, but it's not like i won't get them back



i'm just grateful this place is back up

 

So does this mean Seagroves has to get another vasectomy?

 

Exactly. Both the daily and the weekly backups were corrupted by the hack, thus we had to go to the monthly. But it was still better than fixing piecemeal.

 

You guys definitely did the right thing.

So, do you have a suspect? Was it Capillieri? I can understand if you can't say.

 

Funny, that was my first thought also.

 

why the yellow smilies?

just curious, does it take up less space if they are yellow?

 

Would it be possible to set up the Austria/Switzerland forum again? It was done after Nov. 19, and the backup doesn't contain that forum. Thanks!

 

It's still missing the most recent posts thingie on the first page.. That was a big help..

 

I'm in two minds about it all really but then I'm nobody so it doesn't matter.

I guess there's no chance to possibly get back some/any posts made in the last day or so? E-mailed back or whatever.
Just I had a rant about an African champions football final that has now vanished into the ether.

I realise that it would be opening the floodgates for all those who feel the same - but if there was a way without that happening then I'd be grateful.

 

i say brian capielleri's stupid forum gets accidently deleted. i say we go beat the guy if thats his real name. all the caps live on the east coast

 

You may get busy signals for the next few days. We've turned some stuff like that off while we continue to recover.

 

Also the time seems to be about 2 hours ahead.
Not a major thing but it keeps confusing me, a bearer of very little brain.

 

Why No Warning?

I can understand why it was important to restore most of the threads and posts that were initially lost, but I am wondering why there was no warning given about when this restoration was going to take place? If an announcement had been made yesterday evening or even early this morning to warn everyone in advance, it would have given some of us the opportunity to save the most important threads from the previous four weeks that are now missing.

 

It was the right thing to do.

A big thanks goes out to the Admins for getting the site up and running again.

 

can you ass the 317 posts that have went mising from my post cont or not?

 

Just testing here to make sure everything is okay.

 

Re: Why No Warning?

Now that nearly two weeks have gone by since the boards were "restored," I was wondering if I could still get an answer to my original question? Was there a reason why no clear warning was given in advance or was this perhaps just an unfortunate oversight?
