Guest ChrisC3po Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 I’m sorry to report that I made a huge mistake! Our log files (only a weeks worth I might add) exceeded 200 megs, which exceeded our server space. Because of this the server halted uploads. Some how running a repair program for vBulletin with our space maxed out deleted the Premier Galactic Battleground forums database. Unfortunately the latest backup I had was nearly a week old. I think it is safe to say that we’ve learned our lesson. The board will be backed up nightly. I’d just like to apologize to all of you for deleting those messages and over 20 users. Trust me, this will never happen again.
Guest Kvan Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 I'm really, truly sorry to hear about that At least people can take this as a way to start over BTW It looks like our post count went with it
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Hmm, well our post counts will probably be gone shortly anyways, but our disscussion topics are all gone, everything that we were talking about...gone. Oh well, we can just put up some new topics i guess.
Darth_Rommel Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 hmm... I'm gone for a day and everything has changed
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Originally posted by Darth_Rommel hmm... I'm gone for a day and everything has changed YOU JINXED US!!!! Why you little....... j/k Its okay, this board needed a good cleaning anyways....right? RIGHT?
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Yes, but the cleaning was needed since the beginning. Anyway, since that also deleted most of Leon and I's work on the Community Policies, you'll have to wait a bit more before you see it. And the 200 member mark for the senate... looks like we'll have to wait a little longer too...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Hmm, the new members within the last 5 days are going to suprised when they try to get back on and they are no longer registered.
Guest Kvan Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 I feel real sorry for those members. BTW I was thinking about something, When Chris had to delete my "old" name do to unknown problems is that when he did a system save? My problem happened the same day as these old posts that we are seeing now. Was he prompted to back it up because of ME?! *HUGE EGO GRIN*

Guest Boba Rhett Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 We can only hope.... The only words I can come up to discribe this situation is, "THIS SUCKS"

I never heard anything about this, please elaborate. go to the senate discussion in the Off-Topic area...well it would HAVE given you LOADS of info but I'm not sure now, but go anyway.
Paragon_Leon Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Well, in the words of the famous Johan Cruijff: "Every downside has it's upside" A wee'k's worth of posts included a LOT of oneliners that weren't going anywhere.. just wanted to give a heads-up to people to let you know that if you were notified on spamming, that still stands..

Darth_Rommel Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Well... it just goes to show you: I'm no spammer, I'm a good luck charm :lips: to all who thought otherwise e.g. I don't visit the froums for a day... and look what happens
