Yep- I'm the one saying thank goodness we're still here and posting tips on how to retrieve any lost content you may want, while others moan and groan about conspiracies and wilfull misconduct... and I'M the one who got up on the wrong side of the bed.

Same old same old....

personally I think if he starts it it should make its way around that side of the pond to all who want to participate....then ship it over here for us to go around with it.

That sounds like an ideal plan.

Well its not the first time I've i've lost 7 days of my life:-)

I had already tried cache and wayback (first things I did, actually), but it didn't help...

After I finished addressing the first 2 boxes, I saw that the addresses were back...So, I finished taping the other 2 boxes, and now the addresses are gone again...That's not frustrating or anything [/sarcasm]

There...I got in all of my bitching :D

I will be leaving for the post office in a few minutes...I guess I'll just send the other boxes when I can retrieve the other addresses...

Horror is Flayed?!

or Flayed is really Horror in disguise?!

:eek:

Given the amount of time it's taken for Flayed to send the package (still hasn't) I wouldn't be surprised.

I thought the same thing when I saw that my recent post were gone and that besides today it says my last post date was 3-14-11.

Its a shame, the Mods take the blame when things go wrong.:( They are over worked and underpaid, its just not right.:rolleyes: I'm going to be a Mod when I leave school.:o

Goodness I really don't know what to say when you've lost the last nine days of your life. I apologise if I was in any way responsible for this by digging up old topics etc. I had absolutely NO idea this would be the outcome-harsh!

It's times like this that I'm happy I have so many of you on Facebook.

Just in case anyone was in any doubt-straker has hit the nail on the head on this issue.

I emailed Horror...But...I'm not expecting anything to be accomplished by it...Based on past experience

I have some update news on this, but it isn't very encouraging...

Remember I said I had emailed Horror? Here we go -

Hello,

Did the horror forum servers just crash, or got rebooted, a few minutes ago?

Because all the new posts made within the past week (since May 12th) have completely disappeared.

The last posts showing in the forum are a week old.

Is it a server crash? Please check at your end.

Thank you.

And this is the mail I received back -

Anyone who has been here long enough and has a clear enough head knows that the site owner has exactly ZERO interest in the forum- it's been demonstrated over and over again- and who never step in and delete anything for any reason whatsoever. He just doesn't give a flying fuck about the forum at all.

What if.....

the man who has the Power but Zero interest...

one day with no apparent reason just had a thought in mind..."How about fucked the HDC up for a day? Hope it'll be fun...":D

And who knows perhaps there's more to come....

Btw, how about from now on every coming years we'll recall this time of the year say as HDC Twilight Week or The Time We lost 9 HDC days of our Life!:D We can then have some special tourney, quiz contests etc.:D

Mark your calendars folks-Happy Twilight Zone Week 2012-I can't wait.
