Kevin's Watch

OK ! the problem is a LOT smaller than it was. We were looking at reverting back to 27 April but we have now managed to restore the database as of 7 August - which I think is a whole lot better

Members who registered after 7 August will need to register again - and any private messages, album postings, shop stuff, profile changes etc etc will have ben lost.

Apologies for the inconvenience this might cause but it's a dang sight better than losing 30 000 odds posts (even if 29 000 were of Darth doing )

You rock Vainy-poo!!!

Looks like we lost the Runes forum

But lost alot of Revan's posts, so good and bad.

eh...okay.....
as Marge Simpson would say, *affect wierd scratchy voice here* "that would explain a lot!
Vain, Darth - please disregard the PM's I sent about why in the HUMPH! my membership was revoked. Come to think of it, you'll get the message quicker if I send you more PMs *sigh*

Gah! That means I lost at least 3 thoughful and well-written posts. Damn it! I jest...it's a hell of a lot better than reverting to 27th April (my birthday, no less!). Well done, Vainy-poo

Gah. Lost all my science/tech topics...

Edit - And my avatar!

Query - did anyone post while we were still stuck in April? If so, what did restoring it do to those posts?

Lost into the ether

Well that's annoying.

YAY!!! You da Spawn, Vain!!!

Thanks for doing such a great job preserving what you could, Vain. I know a little about lost database data. Sometimes there is little that you can do to save it up to a certain point. Well done.

Congrats Vain!


Hmmmm.... lost some days .... Maybe I can replay my match with Hier!!!


[Just kidding!]

Thank you oh Sexy Computer God!

I would hate to think of all of those Dissections (and other serious posts) gone forever if we had lost everything since April.

FYI - thanks to Work Offline and Cut & Paste, I have reposted a large chunk (two pages) of my Dying Atheist thread. I am considering doing the same for any other topics deemed important enough, that I can find. If you know of a topic you'd like to restore, PM me and I'll try to find some of it (note - I probably won't have things from Sports forum, TC discussion, Gap, Mordants Need, Other Works, The Library, Hall of Gifts, Galley and the Think-Tank).

WOW VAIN!
What a bang-up job of recovering the "lost episodes" (posts) here on KW.
(A computer wiz hard at work )

I'm sure that there is more to do, so best of luck.
and "thanx".

C'est la Vie!

At least spotting this thread prevented a confused PM from being addressed to Vain.

All that Typing! Still, mustn't complain, I only lost 8 or 9 posts, not like some of you I'm sure.

Take it easy folks

If we had lost a few months worth then I would have thrown in the towel myself but I'm OK with a week.

I hear you.

Lost a couple of months worth on another forum, and it neary killed it. We rebounded though, and made it better than ever. Just goes to show how ephemeral all these things really are.

We have to take the bad (i.e. the chance of losing it) with the good (i.e. being able to be here at all).

Have fun

That's annoying... why did it screw up anyways?

But lost alot of Revan's posts, so good and bad.

hmmm... whatever.

psh, I leave for less than a week, and when I come back the place is in havoc!
