But you added a lot.

This is a fucked up situation. Are there no back ups from Space's posts?

 

[Forkbender]

Oh, and welcome Spores.

funny daytripper, I would have you included in that little list you made of irreplaceable posters. I disagree when you say you haven't added valuable things.

No, they are all gone.

Daytripper, if you care about the forum, go get yourself another email address, for example Gmail (go to gmail.com), and register yourself here again with a new name. Don't use the Daytripper account for a couple of months and contact me again. I don't feel like deleting it right away, but if you're serious about this and do your part to make the transition as smoothly and pleasant for the others as possible, I will gladly help you.

daytripper... I recognize your name as that of someone who's posts I valued. I do understand that there could be several reasons why somebody would want their posts to be removed though.

Spores, welcome back! It's as if you've just been baptized brother! Your old life is now but a shadow, burried in the grave that is the water, while you stand here before us; behold, a new soul! The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are your witnesses today, AMEN. I mean, I have a request: could you, maybe, possibly, somehow... bring back that recognizable cool avatar you used to have?! That would make my day, thank you.

As for forum software that erases the posts when a user account is deleted: I've seen discussions on websites where some posters were named 'Account removed' or something among those lines. On the other hand, it does make sense that when you delete a user, all related data is erased from the database. According to technical conventions I guess you'd rather disable that account than erase it.

Another thing... where do you guys store your backups? /dev/null or something?

Don't want to sound ungrateful for this great forum or anything, but I've seen a lot of online forums that crashed and didn't have a (recent) backup. Having a working backup plan to me is one of the essential things for a website administrator!

i am serious about this.
i'll get a new adress and a new nickname (or perhaps not). i will speak to you again in 2009, and then i hope i will get my history removed ?
it sure would make me happy. do we have a deal ?

my original persona completely disapeared (hehe ive been here a bit longer than i let on) along with all posts and the thing i did shouldnt have resulted in complete erasal of every thread.
Spores is a better name IMO
