Salamander 09-02-2005 12:09 AM

Hobo 09-02-2005 12:34 AM

It was a server roll back. Peter did funk all! Anyway, i'm going to be more strict. Because i feel like it today...

Lol, I still had to make sure the database matched the filesystem, lest we start posting and stuff things up further :p

Alcar...

Good god, holy thread revivals everywhere :/

Munch's Master 09-02-2005 02:05 AM

Yes, it's back at last! Woohoo, thanks whoever fixed it, and I'll thank you anyway Alcar cause, you're just great.

Havoc 09-02-2005 02:38 AM

W00t w00t!! Us is back!! Go OWF! Go alcar!

Fuzzleman54321 09-02-2005 02:47 AM

Yahoo! Finally!! Well done Alcar!

Rex Tirano 09-02-2005 02:59 AM

Fun! We're back, although from what I've heard of Alcar, he was a naughty naughty boy. :p;)

But I'm glad we are back, it's time to roll up our sleeves and cuddle Dino [because he loves it really ;)].

Well done all the staff, especially Alcar!

What took so damn long? :p

Mmyep, good to be back.

There was a post loss? I guess I'll see how many I lost after this post.

dripik 09-02-2005 03:43 AM

I'm glad OWF is working again. I missed this place very much.

Godlesswanderer 09-02-2005 04:13 AM

W00t!!! Problem is though, I've lost tons of posts in the process :(. So much for my short stint of longer than usual posts. Ah well...

Rich 09-02-2005 06:42 AM

*Hero Worship*

Update the fucker when new patches come out, you lovable fool! :p
It's great to see you all again. Welcome back everyone! :)

Shrink 09-02-2005 08:13 AM

That's a lot of discussion and debate lost.
Ah well.

It's nice to be back.

MojoMan220 09-02-2005 10:27 AM

Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! I'm going to sing a merry little tune, to celebrate the forum's return.

(I'm singing right now!)

(That is, unless you're reading this after I've already finished...)

Yes! Thankyou so much Alcar. Now, let's get down to business...

Munch's Master 09-02-2005 12:16 PM

Damnedness, QR didn't work before on this topic. Well, it's great that OWF are finally back, and it seems all the faults caused by the hacker have ogne. Well done Alcar!

AquaticAmbi 09-02-2005 12:41 PM

You know, it's great that the forums are back and all, but honestly, I'm rather annoyed. Since I've been here, there's now been two pretty big losses of posts. Very annoying indeed.

I don't really talk on any other forums, so is this a common thing? Seriously, what's the point of putting so much effort into your posts when you have to fear the posts being lost as I assume it happens a few times a year here. It hasn't even been a year since the last loss of posts.

AngryVyykerDude 09-02-2005 01:02 PM

I don't think so Aquatic

used:) 09-02-2005 01:04 PM

I actually have to agree with her. That fast food thread was getting good, and a hella lot of posts in the Sexy and WDYLL threads were lost as well, and those threads were also pretty hot.

AquaticAmbi 09-02-2005 01:06 PM

You don't think it's as common on other boards? That's what I was asking. I don't think I made it very clear, so I'm doing so now.

CheeseOfGlory 09-02-2005 01:10 PM

whew, it only took about two weeks for the forums to come back

used:) 09-02-2005 01:12 PM

actually only one week I think. Still, it almost drove me to insanity, perhaps it is affecting me now, what with the possible time confusion. :devil:

AngryVyykerDude 09-02-2005 01:15 PM

oh just to get get it out of my system...

HAHAHAHAHAH USED IS A GABBIT
HAHAHAAHAHAHAH

and Aquatic that's what I meant it's not very common.

I've visited a lot of forums, and this is the first one that's had such 'frequent' problems. Well, it's the first one that any posts have been lost. It's very frustrating. Perhaps reskinning that temporary skin would have been a better solution? :(

soulstice 09-02-2005 02:01 PM

I used to be on a friend's forum and her's packed up a lot too.

Rich 09-02-2005 02:07 PM

The way I understand it, the forums were fucked completely. Getting the server to roll back was the only way to fix the problems.

MojoMan220 09-02-2005 06:11 PM

:

and a hella lot of posts in the Sexy

That thread was nothing but a spam-filled wad of poo, good riddance. I don't mind a few posts being lost, the ends justify the means (oh dear, I sound like Jacob). :p

AngryVyykerDude 09-02-2005 08:00 PM

I looked there back before MR.NSAFE
And it was well a *LOOK UP NOW*
Oh for the sake of on topicyness
ALCAR!!! U>ME! :) :)

Kimon 09-02-2005 08:36 PM

Yay! Yes! I am glad to see OWF back again! Yippee!


...


I'm st0wned. :p Talk to you folks tommory.

Nepharski 09-02-2005 08:43 PM

OWF returns! Capital!

Seems I need to re-write some of my story though...but at least the rest was salvaged.

Cheers to Alcar.

Al the Vykker 09-02-2005 10:07 PM

Allright, glad to see things are up and running again thanks a bunch Pete. :)

:D

Yus! I've been having OWF withdrawal recently. This is really the only reason I go on the internet.

So, yeah! The only downside is the loss of some good discussion in OT. But meh.

whos pete? and second i SWEAR i used; had four stars before the problems, does any agree with me or am i as stoned as kimon?

AngryVyykerDude 09-03-2005 05:39 AM

I think you had three...
So your semi stoned!!
:pipe: I told you too stop!
:crying: he won't listen to me!
I'm telling mom!

Well considering I've only got 2...I think you're bullshitting :p ...and probably stoned ;)

Munch's Master 09-04-2005 05:25 AM

I believe that Pete is Alcar's real name, salamander. The mods and older members here are such good friends that they talk to each other like that you see. I refer to him as Alcar, as i don't think I've known him well enough (or at all really) to call him Pete. So that's that problem solved.

Dino 09-04-2005 06:48 AM

Well I'm stoned, and I want a McDonalds. A cheeseburger, and a big mac, and some fries, and a shake, and a mcflurry, and an apple pie. And everything on the poundsaver menu except for that gross barbeque chicken mcsandwich.

I have the F5 tornado of all munchies.

Hobo 09-04-2005 10:33 AM

Well you can have a warning for spam Dino!
