Sorry for the glitches. Let us know if you see any.

I'm pretty sure I exterminated all the ghost posts. If you have one pop up in a thread or post of yours, let me know please.

Also, for those who don't know- You WILL have to re-register to use the forums. You will also need to choose DustyGreen from the Site Theme menu or you'll be hanging out in PHPBB standard hell.

Let me know if you have questions!

On with the show!!!

Are we going to have to start over from scratch or will all the old posts be back? I thought you guys backed up the board every night.

We did back up the board. Problem is all the backups we had were corrupted.

We do back up the board every night. However, about four months ago one of our members posted a thread with code in it that was not encapsulated in the code tags.

Unbeknownst to us, every backup we made from that point forward was a wasted, useless effot- they are all corrupted. The software gets to this bit of code, throws up and stops.

So, here we are.

Wouldn't life be grand if we could pay that member a visit and give him the mother of all "blanket partys"!

Violence may not solve all your problems but it sure can make you feel better!

Let's take bets to see who gets to 1,000 posts first. We can also bet on how long it takes him/her to get to 1,000.

I got $10 on Thrawn, and another $10 that says he hits 1,000 before Xmas!

One "great" thing about all this is that now I'm one of the first 10 members and everyone will give me the respect that being a old-timer deserves!

Or not. *sigh*

Damn it. Now we have no way of going back and citing all of rtw's verbal blunders.

I truly regret the fact that all his posts are gone forever. -vomit-

Luna, in the Dolphin forum you started at thread on how you didn't get to see the game. A bunch of people posted in there but now it's not there, did you move it or was that a phantom thread that you were talking about or maybe I was just dreaming? :P

Well he needed to have something, how else was he going to move the mouse, place it over a smiley and click on submit.

Well. Roaches don't have brains and they function. Maybe his sensors were attracted to the smileys?

Well, considering the way everyone has been fighting lately I considered for half a heart beat that I should just leave it like that..Then sanity returned.

Anyway...did I mention THAT FREAKING SUCKED.

Oh- and the next member to post code without using the code tags will NOT like the responses he/she gets..LOL

It's a damn shame to have this happen to us, and it does make you wonder why our site and the Bahamas site were hit...

But I am not worried about it. In less than a year we had over 55,000 posts on these forums. We'll be there again soon; hopefully with a lot less
:D posts though! lol

I don't know if anyone else saw it, but when I tried to log onto the site last night - apparently right after it went down - there was only a black screen with red letters that said "this site has been defaced by the --- web worm," but I can't recall what the missing word was.

Did anyone else see it?

Lunafate
12-21-2004, 03:58 PM
OH yeah..I saw it. It was loaded into every html and .php file on the entire site.

Here's an obvious conspiracy theory.... are owners of new sites intentionally crashing existing sites to funnel more traffic their way?

I just assumed it was some pissant Patriot fan pulling some crap before the game.

Is "pissant Patriot fan" redundant?
