Welcome back!

[Priscellie]

Did you miss us?  For a full day and a half, our host was down.  A hardware failure due to a degraded array. How did you spend your suddenly-free time?

[Katty]

Besides continually hitting refresh to see if the site was back?   

Played Sims, actually cleaned the house, and planted roses.  Woo!!

And of COURSE I missed you!   

[JRBobC]

Am I right to assume that there were some posts lost in the resurrection of the server?  I just noticed that a few posts I made are no longer there.

[The Mrs Geek]

Yes I missed you.  I forced to actually notice my kitchen needed cleaning.

Yes, alas.  It's rather frustrating, but ah well.  No use crying over spilled milk.

I missed you, I thought it was my computer at first, but then saw the note. Welcome back!!
I'll go and see if there are any interesting posts to read.

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

Let's see. Decided to sell everything I own and move to Phoenix, applied for about two dozen jobs, and scrubbed all my yard furniture.

[Paynesgrey]

Well, after sitting under the stairs cutting myself for a while, I went outside, and this "Sunlight" and "Air" stuff just got all over me, which made me cry some more, so I came back inside and wept bitter tears, my heart as bleak and empty as my sock drawer on a Thursday.

Ok, not really.   

Actually, I blew the dust off of my City of Heroes disks, reinstalled, and figured I'd give that another try.  Seems like a bunch of improvements since I wandered off.

Anyway, it's great to see everyone again.

I did a lot of laundry, and got in some extra guitar practice. Nice to see the forum back though, so I can get back to wasting some free time.  

[BookLover♥]

First thing I did was curse like a sailor.    I actually had FREE time, time where I could PLAY and catch up on forum stuff, and instead I was forced to PRODUCTIVE things...  getting information for our upcoming vacation, cleaning out a storage room, doing laundry.  Scary stuff.  It needed doing though...

Bummer that posts were lost (I lost some PMs, too) - it looks like about 3 days' worth, maybe 4?

[gholam]

Yes, alas.  It's rather frustrating, but ah well.  No use crying over spilled milk.

Any chance of recovering them?

[Priscellie]

Any chance of recovering them?

Nope.  They're lost to the ether.

Quoth Fred:
The host was restored from the hosting company's most current backup.  Since the previous machine is dead dead dead, there's no way to access the data that occurred but wasn't backed up in the short window between the last backup and the crash.

[Paynesgrey]

The world will lament missing a even a few posts displaying my stunning genius and astounding wit, but I suppose it can keep it's chin up and muddle through until I can provide a few more drops of golden wisdom and enlightenment.   

Seriously, I'm just glad the boards are back up.  If a day or two down and some posts lost are the worst things that happen to any of us this year, it'll be a good one.

I had a guest, so I spent a lot of time with him and the kid.

lost about 10 votes in the book discussion poll too.  *sigh*  Doesn't change the result though
