<Xianti> hey, guys. Our host is currently working on restoring our site from backups. The primary hard disk failed. The HTML site is currently back online, but the database is not yet (no forums). No knowing when they'll restore the DB. They're working on it now. Some data may have been lost, but we aren't sure yet. Once online, if you notice posts missing, please let me know
Ugh...
Apparently, they last backed up our site on January 14th. It seems we've lost everything created after that date... including the blog entries.
Terribly sorry, guys. I'm going to sleep this off now.
I WANT MY POST COUNT!
I think it would be good in the future for bloggers to back up thier own stuff, just incase. Probably wont happen again, but .. you know..
It's pretty clear what has happened. I released my training tutorial on how to triple your winrate and Xinati immediatly pushed the big red button to silence me. Whatever, man!
I came to read your reply rilla, and I stayed for 5 minutes to watch the banana.
god I love my sig.
Ah. Now I see.
I've been in the SnG forum today thinking "jesus, who is dredging up all these threads?"
Also i posted in one of my threads that it ended up being a bad beat post. Came back today, i thought someone had just completely deleted it!
And then i was like "wtf"
and then we were like "dude"
and then i was all "no way"
and then he was like "that sucks"
and i was all like "man that blows"
and then we were just "that is so not cool"
and then...
AND THEN?
AND THEN?
I refuse to play your chinese food mind games.
wow this cant be good
I was wondering my post had gone too :)
Hope that it hasnt done anything other than delete a few posts.
Mines missing but i can rewrite it in house of cards
well Im lgad I took that week to post a lot outside of the commune forum /rollseyes
It looks like the restoration from the Jan 14 backup was successful. We'll have more information later.
Thanks for your patience.
So my last thread will be back again? :D
Sweet!
Man sometimes i really sound like a moron...i can't help it.
We made an announcement that is visible on the home page: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=27176
I understand the locking of the other worthless threads, however mine had character... its a shame what youve done eric.. a low down dirty shame.
dont u wish u were a mod boost.Quote:

Sorry about that. We figure questions will be answered faster if they are organized in one central place.Quote:

Aaah.. yes. Another example of a recent oddity that can be attributed to the failing hard disk.Quote:

I think a lot of strange, unexplained things in the past few months can likely be blamed on the bad disk.
