Disaster! Forum rollback - Cannon - 08-16-2010
My apologies but due to a fault with the forum server the database crapped itself and flood was lost.
The forum server has been repaired but unfortunately all posts and forum validations made in the 9 hours from the posting of this message have been lost.

A game server rollback is more annoying in the most cases, i think.
Thank for fixing it.

It's a conspiracy. Someone tried to assassinate Flood.

Great work on getting it all back up so fast, guys. We owe plenty of +0s to you.

' Wrote:okay, i'm actually kind of flippin ticked off, i understand you could not help it but i just spent two hour flippin writing my new characters rp and now it's gone, i can't even remember what it was all about
*cries uncontrollably*
is there any way at all to recover the thread? or is it lost forever and I'll have to re-type it?
I reckon a re-write is order, who knows it may even be better than the one you wrote initially.
A good thing to do when writing your RP (or indeed any long post) is to write it up in notepad, then copy/paste it on to the forums, that way, if for whatever reason something does go wrong, you can have another stab at it later without having to re-write it all from memory. ;)

always write it in wordpad first... basically think to yrself "what if A&LG loses this precious arr pee of mine?"
Disaster! Forum rollback - Disparagess - 08-16-2010
Heh yeah. Writing in notepad is a really good idea.
Other than that, all give cannon and the admin team another kiss. Seriously. Where would we be without them?

So that means I lost all the posts I made in the last 9 hours?

Heh, good DR planning it seems, the loss of data was minimal. An administration team that knows what it's doing. I am genuinely impressed.
