Thankyou to all staff involved in restoring the PoB drama to how it was.

You ladies and gents have the communities appreciation.

Is there any word or knowledge on what caused the issue to begin with?

Was it a player-action based error? If so, please share so it doesn't become an issue again.

Happy to help!

Regarding what caused it, it wasn't any action by a player so no worries there, this was purely the result of a combination of server-side issues that occured late at night.

It's fairly technical but basically the server couldn't write to certain files because of it and when the server restarted, things broke.

Because only certain things broke and others were fine, it wasn't that straight forward and we had to spend a lot of time manually going through what got impacted by this and manually change config files in order to get things back to how they should've been.

We've since managed to implement additional checks to prevent this kind of scenario in future so this should hopefully never happen again.

I want to become a storyteller. How do I do that? @jammi isn't responding.

I would like to thank the staff for their work in maintaining and developing this place. My time here has been a mostly positive experience, and I hope there's many more good things to come.

Special thanks to:
@EisenSeele for helping me resolve bugs that would otherwise cost me a lot of time and/or credits.
@Chxlls for taking the time to answer my silly questions. It may not seem like much, but it saved me a lot of anxiety.
