Someone would think Horror or one of his Admins didn't like everyone raking up the "Elvis-banning" issue in the past few days.

Swish! All is gone.



As regards the Apocalypment, I still have the Excel sheet saved so I can pick up from there, no worries. A brief re-cap should do fine.

Tournaments will progress from where they were left off.

When I logged on in the wee hours this morning I was getting a lot of "server errors" ... this is different from what usually happens- it usually just says "page unavailable." My bet is that there was a server crash and the database had to be restored from a backup.

I'd say we're lucky thre WAS a backup. Thank goddess the place still exists! It's a shame some data was lost but at least we're still here.

And if you're looking for something in particular from the last 10 days... try Googling it, and see if it turns up in a cached version of the page, or even use the wayback machine on archive.org.

Whether it was an admistrator or a moderator who did this doesn't matter. The fact that it was done at all is really pathetic. Proud of yourself?:rolleyes:

And just who are you pointing your conspiratorial little finger at?


Good grief... a server crashes and everyone puts on their tinfoil hats.

It was V that suggested the admins deleted everything because there'd been too much talk about Elvis.

Some day I will learn... but I guess I still haven't. There will always be people in the world who will cast everything in the world in the worst possible light.

They can take an innocent occurance like a dog looking at them as they pass by it into a message from demons telling them the end time is coming...

Or they can turn a server crash into some grand conspiracy against whatever they can cook up in their brains.

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.

So, if anyone is still trying to present this hardware failure as some kind of a "pathetic" attemp at censorship... you need to have a reality check. Seriously.
