An experiment in non-linearity ?

 

Most of them were no good anyway. It gives people a chance to rephrase and redo their posts. Really, how often do you get a second chance like that ?

Probably because it was beginning to reach a new accelerative rate of degeneration. Oh well, it's not like we lost any good posts.

Obsidian is in the process of upgrading its servers. As a result, they are going to be faster, but admin is trying to get everything playing nice ... at the moment it seems they are using a backup that is about a week+ old ...

 

Note: I hope you do not mind Monte Carlo, but I thought this was more suited to Suggestions ...

I hope the lost posts are recovered..... I had some good threads vanish

My entire account vanished!

 

I just had to re-register.

 

:angry:

That explains why the registered member counts almost halved overnight.

Was there some magic "cut-off" number that the admin had where if you had less than that number of posts, your account was cancelled?

No - due to a complex set of "technical issues" with our web hosting company, they weren't able to restore the latest backup. Needless to say, we will be taking a whole series of "proactive" steps on our end from now on so that doesn't get a chance to happen again.

i came here after an absence of slightly over a week and was surprised that there was nothing new around! well, this explains it.

"technical issues" meaning?

 

 

TripleRRR

nearly a third of my posts had vanished...and it was the best third...all the time I spend creating these masterpieces...wasted...they didn't even say goodbye...they didn't take the time to lie...they are just gone...the internet is such a cruel place

Oh well, technical glitches are bound to happen time to time. Its not that big of a deal to me.

interesting

"technical issues" meaning?

It was the web hosting company's fault.

Well this sucks. <_<

More than a third of my posts disappeared. Oh well hope this doesn't happen again.

Do you people really give a hoot about your posts? If you want you can have all my lame ones.

Hmm.. I don't care about my posts (more posts = more geek) but it seems a lot of interesting threads just disappeared. Hope someone remembers them and re-posts them.

It's more the threads themselves then the number. Over time, the board will recover.

Everyone knows the same topics will be covered repeatedly. Don't worry, your fave threads will retunr. And, most likely your most hated ones too.

Post count? nope could care less... I tend to get spammy so it's no big deal... I accept this as a disadvantage I was born with but some of those threads were good reading... now they're gone :ph34r:

 

And that's sad.

I think we lost about seven hundred one-smiley posts.

 

Yup. Start crying.

I'm not sure what board you're following, but it can't be this one. B)
