My deepest apologies

Thu Feb 15, 2007 5:24 pm

Clinical death is no joke. Unless you're a clown. That makes no sense, and neither did this.

Let me start off my apologizing to each and every one of you. I should have checked the forums more regularly and I should have made more backups. Once again, I am so, so sorry.

For some reason beyond my knowledge our databases were wiped. And I mean, totally. All tables, all content was gone. After digging in my archive I managed to find an old backup made in 2005. That was godawful long ago. It is however the most recent one I have.

Rebuilding a civilisation is hard. Yet, mankind has done it numerous times in it's history. Please join us in spirit of that and rebuild the community that once flourished here at TerraEarth. Posts may have been lost, but our spirit will never be.

Enough poetry.... let's start posting people!

You know, it's ironic. Right when I read the email, and saw that TE wasn't dead, my song ended with the lyrics "Immerse your soul in love." It's not quite the lyrics that did it, but the way that it's sung. It's a haunting piece, and for some reason, that just... yeah. It made my brain go "Wow."

...Glad to see TE is back, though I have to get back my other 1000+ posts. D: Damn. That's a lot of work.

Edit: That and I'm only a mod. D: I miss my admin status.

They can take our posts, but they'll nay take... OUR FREEDOM!!

Lost postage sucks, but at least the place is up again.

We can rebuild it. We have the technology.

Which is, computers.

I suppose I lost all privelages for removing nonsense for a while

At least till some dignity in form of a postcount is restored

Glad to see the TE forums are back!

However, I did have some problems. I purchased a Custom Title and I still see my old one ..

Plus, I can't search for new posts either.

Hmm, couldn't find anything wrong with the custom title system. Perhaps you could try again?

As for the searching, it should work now, more or less. If you don't get any results it may be because not all the posts are in the database that well. It should resolve over time as new topics are made.

Ok, I could try again, but wouldn't that cost more points? I only have 702 I think now.

If it fails again, I'll set your title manually and refund your gems.

Ok, I tried setting my title to

The Creation of Heaven and Earth

and it still stays the same. ;(

EDIT: Oh wait .. nm .. I see it now. ^^

I noticed my old inactive email still in profile... so I did get message from eFlare at deviantART.

Real shame on loss of posts and everything in more than a year. At least TE Forums is up so I get some brawls on friends.

Perhaps we need make backups every month, store them in somewhere not in defective server?

I have a urge to beat someone with obby maul...

Care to take some pains from me, Freedan?

Real pleasure to see you again, Joan. Same to friends.

[EDIT] Im having troubles with loading the avatar. Could you check them out? Thanks.
