No you haven't gone back in time, and no you aren't going crazy. I was doing a little house keeping and went crazy. I accidently deleted every single post in the forum and 7000 members accounts. OPPS! I had to use a backup to restore what I could. The backup was from 9-9-02. Everything from the 9th till the 19th was lost. Anything that you posted, uploaded, or edited during that 10 day span is gone.

I'm very sorry.

I'm still recovering some things, and have a partial backup from the 17th. I can't use it to restore the site, but I can go back and find a specific post. If you remember an important post that I should re-post, let me know what it was and who made it. I'm only going to do a couple. I can't repost an entire thread. I'm copy and pasting them and manually making the post again, so cut me a break and only ask for some great topic. Please take it upon yourselves to repost anything you said that you'd like to continue.

I'm importing 160 lost posts right now.

turns out that even though I can't save the lost threads, I can save some of the lost posts. (I don't have the thread table, just a partial post table)

The posts being imported are either replies to the 4 threads that I've manually reposted, or replies made between 9-9-02 and 9-17-02 to surviving threads. meaning replies to the threads that are here now, but not any threads that were created during that time, or their replies. hope that made sense.

some dates might be a little goof, but it's the best I could do.

looks like the order is off, on the ones I reposted. I'll fix em now


Still tring to see what else I can do.

hoipefully everything worked. Let me know if you find any weirdness.

counts are off. things like last person to reply, date of last reply, number of replies, number of view. I'm working on it.

Anyway, at least I can post again.

Mutt, as always I commend you for getting this place back in order.
You are a true hero.
