though Wednesday didn't have much of a chance to acquire many posts since the site was down almost the whole days while I tried to figure out what the hell my hosting company did.  They still haven't told me, so I just went ahead and restored the database since it was clear they don't know their ass from their elbow.  I wasn't surprised when the backup worked, just upset I had to restore it and that they caused it and didn't take the proper precautions when working on my site.

The irony?  I paid them to upgrade the server to make it less likely to be hacked or crash.  Ha!

Okay, that explains it....II got the "you have a new PM" message, but there wasn't anything "new" there....


My first thought was actually that "giant asian penis man" struck again and actually sent ME one for once ;D ;D

I'm waiting for people to start whining about their post counts ::)

On the positive side, the bunny ears are back for a limited time :) :D

it's my birthday again! i knew there was a reason i was keeping birthday-cake tia around.

YAY! We're back! :)

Good to have the place up & running again. My speculations as to what happened was a system crash, or perhaps a former member angered by banishment to the nether regions figured out a way to wreak havoc and hacked into the board. So all the posts and pics and stuff from Tuesday seem to be deleted.  :(   It's good to have personal emails to keep in touch when this happens.  Thank you ChuckyG for getting us back in service. check is in the mail  ;)

now the truth can be told -- i hacked the board to impress trace beaulieu.

why you sumpa'bich!    so was she impressed with your computer hacking skills?  I could have told you a better way to impress her  ;D 

Glad we're up and running again. I know what happened couldn't be helped (Chuck does his best, and of course it's nobody's fault for his hosting company's mistake), but I think I'm gonna cut it with the long posts or detailed conversation from now on. What's the point of expending energy if it's not gonna be preserved? :(

I am glad the boards are back.  I was going out of my mind last night without this place :\'(

I think Trace Beaulieu is a dude, not that Tia would care.

usually i DO care but i would totally go gay in an instant for my beloved trace. he's a close #2 in my celebrity obsession roster. it's, like, a photo finish.

crap!  :-[

I did send out a bunch of emails last night.
Funny thing - some said they just got them like a few minutes ago. :o
That's hotmail for ya!

Here's to you Chucky!
karma +1!!! 8)

I'd hate for that to be the reason for you to cut back on your posts.  This was the first time posts were lost due to one of these types of problems in a few years now.  Even when the hacker got the site a few months ago, I didn't lose more than a handful of posts. 

OH MY GOD!! SO MUCH WORK I PUT INTO MAKING ALL THESE POSTS!! WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN!? OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!

Heh, just kidding. Chucky probably put more work into fixing this site.

What happened? Were we hacked?

BAH! I'm outraged at the amount of karma I have lost it's simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!                      ;)

I think mine has gone down too!

Yeah, yesterday, I was decently ahead of Davey Thrashmister, now I'm just a little ahead.

Man, I lost a whopping 3 post and 2 Karma and I'm real aggravated.  >:(

;D ;D No I'm not, I'm glad the sight is back up, I was going stir crazy last night not being able to waste the
hours staring at a computer screen. I had to spend the night doing crossword puzzles.

I am glad the boards are back.  I was going out of my mind last night without this place :\'(

Me too. I was just one post away from 86K and boom, the site goes down. Thank goodness it's fixed now.

I lost a whopping 10 PM's in my inbox.

Edit: And my TTLI lost about 8 hours.

I went crazy yesterday. 

I also notice that the games Chuck introduced on Monday are all gone too...so he's gonna have to reinstall those at some point. :o

how do some of you know precisely how many posts, karma, pm's you lost  ???

I only noticed because I had hit 500 and was feeling proud of my half centuary!

I do wish I had been able to show  my sister all the good wishes from everyone about her fire before they disappeared but it can't be helped and yes I'd rather have the board back and running.

ok, I was wondering how the figures were gathered.

that's a nice easy number to remember Gid. I got you one closer to that milestone  ;)

ah geez Gis, that was a good idea because some nice warm wishes were posted on her behalf.

It's cool, man - I was in kind of a temporarily lousy mood when I said that (which is unusual for me), so don't pay it too much mind if I sounded a little Emo. :)

Plus, on the cool side, it was almost like travelling back in time to 3 days ago.

although i hated losing the big grindhouse debate, i'd say on the whole it was actually pretty funny, going back to april. we ended up with the easter bunny emoticon post of karen's from it. good times.

Yeah, the irony is, since practically every trace of the last three days got wiped out (Karma count and all that disappeared too), if someone didn't know, they might actually think it was April 8th, lol.

That's cool.although i doidn't even do any posting during easter weekend.

Oh yeah, Trace was the man!  I was a bit MST3K fan.  Whatever happened to him?

Anyway, since the site came back online I've been getting "forbidden" server access messages.  I was able to log on earlier today.  I just sent Chucky another email about the problem because I couldn't log on again.  30 seconds later, I gave it another try, and here I am!

Dunno what the 'ell's going on!

somebody was posting about similar troubles, i think, check the wing up board.

trace is now one of the lead writers, if not the lead writer, for america's funniest home videos. i personally think the gig's beneath him, not prestige-wise but just in terms of giving him a chance to share his talents, but i'm glad he's working.

he had a bit part in freaks and geeks, as did joel hodgson. they're both really funny but i really wanted to see more trace. he seriously gets like, maybe, four lines, plays a beseiged high school history teacher.

here's that thread. it's loki having the trouble.

I posted birthday wishes for courtsandpark.  I hope he saw it before the site went down.

I get the FORBIDDEN server message when I enter inthe00s into the address bars.  I enter it again and it takes me right to the site.  This odd thing happens on several servers.

And here I thought I was the only one getting those dumb messages every once in a while. ::)

Similarly, I posted birthday wishes for IndyGent...he may have seen those before the site went down, I hope.

That can happen if you get banned i think.

It's only been doing that since the site went down for three days.  Maybe there was some kind of glitch when the software got rebooted.  I dunno.  Something like that.
