As I noted on the news page, yesterday the host we're on had a disk space problem (:P) and their system went into a write-protect lockdown.  Unforuntately, anyone who tried to do anything that would cause a disk write (i.e. register/post) would create zero-sized files.  This included this forum section!  I just spent about an hour and a half writing some scripts to regenerate the post table, instead of doing something fun before work today.  Basically it created a difference list, where it sorted through ALL message files and matched ones that already existed in the main and RPG forums.

Some information about posts, such as most recent poster and such, may be displayed incorrectly.  Also some posts from a temporary forum have come back since the posts themselves were never deleted and included in the difference list.  Oh well.

 ^^; Thanks for putting things back together Bob! I recall this happening with YaBB on another forum I was at before. My account even got deleted. O_O; Entire sections disappeared. It was heinous.

The server outage was probably another of your fiendish plots to conquer the world and oneup Mizuhara Makoto!  ;D
Fortunately for us, Rob appears to have foiled it (and restored my account), for which he has my thanks.

Now I'll properly restore your avatar URL... *restores*

Did you have a significantly higher post count?  I mean, if you remember a ballpark I can reset it manually.  :P

I recently passed one hundred and attained demon god status.  If you could reset my post count to say...100, I'd appreciate it, but there's no need to worry about it or rush.  "Bugrom Forces" is cool in its own right.  ^_^V

He may have won the battle... but I will win the WAR! You just wait and see who has the last laugh, for he who laughs last laughs BEST! Hell no, this isn't the end at all. Everyone knows that the story hasn't ended until the fat lady SINGS! One in the hand is worth two in the BUSH after all. Yes... he who wastes not WANTS not.

*regains dignity*

*steeples fingers*

I meant to do that.
