Two Months Of Data Gone - Help Us Rebuild

[LiNuX]

At first i thought losing two days of data was really bad but now we have lost almost 2 months worth of data. If you havent noticed, everthing posted from May 13th to June 25th are Gone. All threads, new members, Posts, mods, and etc.

It was due to a hosting issue. Their server was "accidentally" wiped out. I am asking for compensation to help me rebuild with some extra money and so on. I will be dealing with that problem in the coming weeks.

At first I thought I should just restore the forum and sell it because of my hard work gone down the drain. But after talking to a few forum members, staff, and friends I have decided to keep the forum and just work harder. It was my fault for not taking a backup last week as I had planned but we will be taking weekly backups from now on.

I am so sorry for your losses and please believe me that I have lost way more. The forum posts stats have been lost by 4,000 and member count by almost 40. Our Best month of june has turned into the worst possible. But look at the bright side, July just holds more - now you can start topics already started before and know what you are talking about.

I will be hiring more staff members - please PM me if you can offer any sort of help.

Thank You!

Sorry about the loss. :(
>< I was 35 points away from a steam game. :(
And a weekly backup sounds like the right thing to do...

[Joshuah]

[KittyCat72]

its ok dont worry - i will be making a thread where i will make you estimate the amount of points you have and i will reasign you the points - just give me about 2 weeks on that if you can please - i will set up everything again -

but in the mean time - ALL CONTESTS ARE PUT ON HOLD UNTIL JULY 7th, 2007 - Sorry for this but i just need some time to get everything settled up. The forum is showing a ton of errors for me so i have to get it all fixed.

Thanks!

[Joshuah]

Can you reasign my points aswell? and if possible posts I had like 436 something like that now in 70-80 :'(

if i ahd to guess u had way less since you already used them up for advertising, which reminds me i'll put it back up tomorrow night to last for 2 more days since the last 2 days the site was down

u had less than 100 points the last i remember - but i'll see

thanks!

All ranks and points will be worked on to restore - please do NOT pm me asking me to give you ur rank back and points back - i will ignore those pms from now on.

thank you!

[Joshuah]

LiNuX, can you try and restore the post ammounts?? Sorry to ask can you also restore thanks? I had 13 of them? I brought 2! :P And my Legend Gamers Affliate has gone, and a week it hasn't been and if it has, GF went down :'(

[Eric]

i have already said ur legend gamers affilate will be put back up for 2 more days since that was the time left before it was to be taken off anyway.

i cannot restore post amounts or thanks - you have to earn them again - sorry for that but increasing your post amount or thanks does nothing to the forum if u dont earn them

thanks!

[KittyCat72]

Oh well, guess I better get working. Now I'm like 200 posts away.

[Joshuah]

Now i gotta work on 350 posts :P

[diablo]

[KittyCat72]

If we can get back from this, we can do anything..... except recovering from losing 3 months of data. :( :D

[diablo]

lol if we can do this, its 2 months, 3 months is just another month, it wouldnt be much harder

BUT LINUX - i'll remding u to take backups like every 2 weeks or so lol - well ur gonna have to now ;)

[KittyCat72]

In 2 months I lost over 200 posts, 3 would be a lot harder for me. I don't know about you....

[diablo]

i lost just over 100 posts - i had almost 700 posts last time i checked so it was just half as you, but dont worry, everything would be fine, its all for fun isnt it?

[KittyCat72]
