I'm not sure who exactly to thank, but I imagine it was a team effort to some degree so I want to that you all.
Job well done, nice to have my posts back until they disappear again. :helpsmili
An explanation via PM or here on this thread would be appreciated, particularly if you know who was involved.
Call me vain, but I like my threads, they allow me to document, before the world, just how naive and backwards I am.

I think we are ok now. Anything after the wipe is gone, but look before, we are fully restored.
You lost your posts as well?

Not me mate, if I look for all posts by me it comes up with 2 I did tonight.
The one's I put in the thread you started today (about this) are also gone.
Unless of course I am doing something wrong.

I think someone said that the board lost about 10-11 hours today 'cause of the transfer. Now that the transfwer is complete, you will be playing for Aberdeen on Saturday JP. :)
Now you lot know what Alzheimers is like. :blink:

I think all of me posts are away mate.
This is what I get when I search for them

It don't matter a great deal if they are lost tho', as long as the board is secure.

I only see today for him also, perhaps we didnt go back far enough and going back to earlier when the others were first restored priopr to being wiped again may have been when he had already been wiped or something like that...

j2k4's posts are all back and those were deleted first...

j2k4's posts are all back and those were deleted first...Are we sure about that? Or were they just the first to be noticed as missing?
Posted by: Mr JP Fugley
Maybe I was deleted first and it wasn't noticed. It is all crap anyway.
It's kewl, like I said if the board is back and secure I wouldn't bother doing anything else which might feck it up or lose even more.

My point was I think rookie used a backup point that was just after he merged the db to bring the other posts back without any other losses just before they vanished again and then I thought his followed just after so that may have been an odd window. Although with the script that was created rookie may be able to use to bring back his as well although I cant say. There is also the possibility that his was done prior to the others without being noticed also...

I would think it a shame to give up Mr JP Fugley's and Jpols posts. He may not ask for them back himself, but I think the community owes it to him to restore what he has shared.
He has really done a lot to drag this forum along, particularly after the board change. He was starting a lot of threads and pumping energy into the place.
I think it would be a shame to just pitch his legacy.

Yep, without them/him the board is a less interesting place. I hope that his/their posts can be restored.

Quite right.
I prefer his to mine, actually, even considering his strange and radical political views.
Posted by: Mr JP Fugley
Nice sentiments chaps, much appreciated.
However I think of it as more of a boardly colonic irrigation.
I also see it as a clean slate. Just think of all the half pished crap I have posted, which you can't post back at me now. Whereas all of your indiscretions are there for anyone to see.
It feels very .... liberating.
