New Site, New Forums... But no posts...

Post by John »

So while we were reinstalling our OS and all that good stuff, we took the opportunity to unroll our new layout for the site, as well as our new domain name! Its a lot simpler, and a lot more to the point.

Sadly though, to make a long story short, one of our backup files failed without telling us. So, we assumed we had everything we needed to restore the forums and then convert to phpBB. Which we did, except for the one crucial table containing the topics. We were left with over 37,000 posts but no topics to contain them. Very sad indeed, but we will move on. At least we were able to restore the member info.

:!: Make sure to update your avatars and signatures.

Anyway, we apologize for the loss, and hope it won't deter you from continuing to enjoy the middle_man community. Please be sure to check out the Off-Topic discussion, http://www.mymiddleman.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2.

P.S. - We're still alive.

Hm...too bad we lost all the good reference posts that we used to have. Oh well, there's always Google cache. :P

And darn, I thought that you guys had Beta3 already. :P The thing that said "Come back and see what's new" got me all excited. Oh well, the switch to phpbb is pretty nice.



Last thing: You told us to update our avatars but we can't have any.

Blah. It works though. Always nice to start from a clean slate. It does suck that we lost all the refrence posts (again :evil: ).

Oh well if that's what it takes to get phpBB... Then so be it.

And now I have a good reason to find a new avatar.

Just get us that quick reply mod John :)

Now we can't tell people to search... Well until tomorrow anyways.

yeah and it's so terrible that we lost the posts that we link to when people ask for new features or for help without searching.
because maybe this time they actually would search

The flood search control slightly annoys me when I have to search something up. But right now, there's nothing to search.
