Title: What happened to the the message board?
Post by: bsfins on March 06, 2008, 02:00:56 pm
Wow talk about flash back did an update screw up? Or am I in the twilight zone again?

The board went back to 2006 posts...

What do you mean went back to 2006? It is 2006 Lil B. ;)

I think we got stuck in a rift in the time space continuum.

I wonder if Tommy still has 10,000 post whore posts?

OK, people!  Let's get cracking on re-creating two years worth of pissing, moaning, insulting people, jumping to conclusions, and every other insanity we've written over the past two years!

Our host had a major server crash.  I don't know what can be retrieved and what can't.

I think there should be a full scale investigation into this. After all the controversy in this morning's "Yay Me! for 10,000 posts" thread from Tommy, I think its a little too convenient that the host crashed. I think Brian Fein should be investigated ;)

I think Tommy is down to the low 3,000's again. I'm down to 4,000-something.

It's like the message board fountain of youth!! I feel spry as a teenager again, and ready to pick a fight with gocowboys or D_B like in the good ol' days! ;D

Nice...it even took me back to my old Portland Sea Dogs avatar...sweeeeeeet.

When I first came On...I thought it was strange seeing Philly sporting the Daunte Avatar....

I had to make sure it wasn't my work computer...I've had problems with them all day today....

So can the people that joined after this certian date in 2006...can they log in? (since everything seems to reset to 2006....

Which brings a bigger smile to your face?

The Patriots choking in the Super Bowl

or

Tommy losing nearly 7,000 posts?  



2008 has been a great year!!!

There are a lot of users that cannot log in right now.  I'm not going to do anything until I know the full extent of the crash and what can be retrieved.  Everyone just sit tight for a bit.

I honestly can say I don't think I've ever used the abbreviation "LOL" , and when most people use it, I doubt they are really "laughing out loud".

But after reading this, I must type "LOL" and I actually mean it!!

Post by: Brian Fein on March 06, 2008, 02:57:15 pm
Wow that's great, thanks for helping to prove that in the past 2 years, I posted some 4000 posts and Tommy nearly doubled it.

In seriousness, the guys (Fau and company) are working feverishly to restore their customers, and we'll hopefully be a part of that.  Keep in mind anything posted today will be overwritten if a more recent backup comes to light.

Dave, do you think it might be appropriate to try to find a "current" (2008, not 2006) memberlist and send a mass email?  Is it even possible?

I have a feeling the Colts are gonna win it all this season.  And call me nuts,  I think the Bears have a REALLY good squad (watch out for Hester,  dude is gonna be beast)! 

Greavedig this sucker at the end of the season... 

P.S. Think Saban can have a good year like last? I mean, 6 straight wins to close it out... I'm startin' to like this guy.

I have a sinking suspicion that Miami is going to hire an under qualfied offensive coordinator in 2007 for HC.  I bet he trades Chambers to San Diego!  I bet we go something like 1-15!

THAT'S COOL!

Problem is they didn't archive the database that drives this message board.  But, if they did, that woulda been SWEET.  That's a cool service!

Dave said he has all of the site's files backed up on his computer, but the databases are the big thing. 

Patience will be important.  I'm sure they're working feverishly.

I would gladly email all members, but the list is saved on the server.  I have a feeling that this is all we're going to get.  I am holding out a slim hope that Fau has a backup somewhere, but I'm not counting on it.

I'll also have to put back any new settings and spam-reduction that I'd had.  We haven't had a fake member trying to sell some product in a long, long time.

I have a confession to make...this is all my fault. I had gotten really tired of Hoodie's inflammatory posts, and was wondering how I was going to deal with him. While watching the sci-fi movie "A Sound of Thunder" on TV last night, the idea hit me. If I could go back in time a couple of years and step on a prehistoric butterfly or some shit like that, I could totally erase Hoodie from existence.

Apparently I miscalculated the overall effect the time ripples would have. I also wonder why I now have these gills on the sides of my neck...

Maine, i will also make a few predictions. i predict the pats will go 16-0 in the regular season only to be upset in the superbowl, i know it sounds crazy, Brady losing in the superbowl, but i have a gut feeling.

This is going to work out great for me.  Despite being one of the original members of the site (Jan 22, 2003), I am only now reaching the 2000th milestone.  I was sweating over putting together a memorable post .....and now I don't have to think about for another 500+ posts.  While I'm sure Tommy could knock those 500 out in a week or two, it's likely to take me a year or more.  Hurray for technology.

Great minds think alike?

On a sidenote, STL, how do ya see the Cards doing this year? I dunno, I think they just might take it. I think the Tigers might have a shot,  I know it sounds odd, but hey anything can happen?   :D

There is one other small side effect of the Server Wars... All my private messages are gone. I kept "more than a few" PMs that contained things like member phone numbers, personal email addys, that sort of thing. Now I am going to need to recreate my PM contact list again.

I hear ya, Stroke - I had 860-some-odd PM's saved up there and now they're all gone.  I feel liberated, in a way, but nothing there I can't recreate, I don't think.
