RE: Loss - SummerMcLovin - 11-10-2015
Is there going to be an RP announcement from the admin about "the great Neural Net crash of 822" so that everyone's story matches up?
Probably best not to powergame the blame onto any faction to avoid the Munich backlash onto Kusari, for example. Could maybe say it was some corruption left by the remnants of the Gallic Junkers (since they had the capability to copy the whole thing before Gallia was revealed) or maybe they had the backup.

Also advice for everyone - the method Jarl presented (kudos to him by the way) also partially works for threads which were not lost all, but some posts were. Just copy the url of the thread and hope google cached the posts so you can retrieve the text.

3. Copy-Paste thread to Google Search.
4. The link that pops up will have in green text the web link and a green arrow pointing down next to it. Click that arrow and select "Cached"
5. Save whatever you can find!!
And by the way big kudos to Alley and everyone else who dedicated time and effort to fix the situation as soon as possible.

Especially when some threads will be probably reposted or created again and just date will be set back to the original time inRP.

RE: Loss - Alley - 11-10-2015
I haven't got around doing it yet, but it will be done as soon as things are somewhat back in shape. I will handle it myself this time instead of asking someone to do it.

This hopefully eases the pain a bit especially for those who had extensive stories going on.
If you have or are willing to use Chrome, there is an extension called
Cache Browser
that will pull the latest version of a page from the the Google cache if the link does not resolve.
This may or may not be useful, now that the site is up but will definitely be a help with most completely lost threads.

At least I studied like banned. Oh well. It was good while it lasted.
I'm not asking to be banned, no! I haven't reached that point, yet!
Thanks to the staff for restoring the stuff though. And to TheJarl for the cache hint.
