Threads Lost

[AncientwisdomParticipant 6089]

EDIT*********I JUST saw the anouncement posted. Looks like you are already aware of what I posted below. Youre on top of it, as always!

This is no big deal, but Im wondering if the mods are aware: it seems some of the threads made in the past few days have been lost.

I made one entitled Site Apprecciation, and one entitled Privacy and Information Brokers.I dont see them anywhere. Again no worries if it was lost. This is a free site and its no skin off my back. Just wondering if you were aware of this.

YESSSSS. They aren’t lost. We have them, and YES I read your “site appreciation” thread THE MOMENT it was posted. And thank you for it. Best message of the day that day because we were busting ass with the new MGTOW channels which were kicking our asses.

NO the threads aren’t lost. We have a full backup of the database from this afternoon with EVERYTHING in the last 3 days, however some replies are bad…. filled with all kinds of junk and totally broke the search. A forum without a search is f~~~ing useless. And I need it because people address s~~~ to me, so I REALLY need to be able to search for “KM” or “Keymaster” or I’m blind.

We have been on it for 18 hours straight and couldn’t keep you waiting any more with a forum paused and not accepting posts. So a couple of users wrote in and said “Man it’s no big deal, just get open up the forums again” and so we restored to a “golden master” from July 05 and will figure out a way to merge the newest CLEAN data with this database. However it’s not that simple, because if we open the forums and you create post number 9999…. and the July 07 “site appreciation” thread is also 9999 then that will overwrite this. So you can see the dilema.

I’m just taking a break from looking at database tables for a whole day.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

There’s only one thing I hate more than Excel, that’s Matlab. I know database tables are incredibly useful and important for things like ArcMap GIS, but blehhhhhhhhhh…

Gonna have to pay me. Always appreciate your work KeyMaster.

[AncientwisdomParticipant 6089]

No worries man. Much appreciation! Like I said in my edit, I made this thread PRIOR to reading your news alert addressing it. I could care less if my thread was lost. I was just wondering what was going on, and didnt see you were already on top of it. Cheers KeyMaster! Its a free site and it already EXCEEDS expectations! Its probably growing exponentially also, so growth pains are to be expected.

If it would expedite things, why not make a post containing the text of the “lost” posts &/or threads?

I think that would just be a side track from the database merge. At this point it’s enough that the site is up at all without adding in more temporary rubber patch jobs.

Even in the best designed databases of any complexity live merges can be tricky and tedious. It can be like a game of 52 pickup where you have to re-sort multiple decks only with many more categories than just hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades, and people keep tossing more cards onto the pile. I expect over the next few days we’ll start seeing missing threads reappear a few at a time until they are all restored to the live database. Personally I’d prefer @keymaster to concentrate on that so we can be back up to full steam as quickly as possible.

Most sites like this would just go off line entirely until everything was 100%. Or simply restore from backup and write off the last few days posts entirely. That @keymaster and crew (is there really a crew?) have gone to the effort of finagling on a live site so we have somewhere to go in the interim while he slaves away restoring the limboed data shows a lot more effort and dedication than I normally would expect from what is essentially a hobby website. And I’m not about to make any requests above and beyond a restoration effort that’s already been well above and beyond.

As always, I am thankful for the hard work and dedication KeyMaster and the guys are putting in on our behalf. … Not to mention they are working to rescue my timeless gems for posterity.

OH MY GOD… GENTLEMEN…. STOP YOUR GRINNIN’, AND DROP YOUR LINEN. LISTEN TO THIS GENIUS S~~~.

You want to recover your recent threads and start them over?
EVERYTHING is accessible exactly as it was here at 7:30 PM today at….

….wait for it…..

http://notallwomenarelikethat.com

Yes really. It’s a Twin site exactly like this one. Except it’s password protected. Just log in with the same credentials. And if you want to recover something for the next 3 days…. it’s all there!!! How awesome is that.

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner. Thanks Cipher for sparking the thought! This way if it’s REALLY important to you and you want your threads back it’s just a MINIMAL effort to go get it, copy the s~~~ and and start a new one here. Do the same with your replies if you want. (Just be aware you can’t search the forums over there). And now everything will be nicely created on TOP of what we have here. Sidecar is right. It’s a real bitch to do what we’re trying to do and its playing with fire. This is the ultimate solution for anyone who’s p~~~ed their threads and replies are missing in the last 3 days.

Navigate the site exactly like this one. No different. Your login is the same.
I’m gonna stroke myself. This is just too good……

KM,

“OH MY GOD… GENTLEMEN…. STOP YOUR GRINNIN’, AND DROP YOUR LINEN. I AM A F~~~ING GENIUS. LISTEN TO THIS S~~~.”

Ha, ha! Cool as s~~~e! But no worries. Im not stressed over anything lost, but it is FANTASTIC you found a way to circumvent it. Killer! Thank You!

[KeymasterKeymaster]

Hey, we work too hard to be OK with s~~~ like this. It’s not our style to just shrug our shoulders and say “oh well” maybe we should just write it off as a loss. The whole thing has p~~~ed us off because it never happens to us. Our s~~~ is wrapped so tight only a dog can hear it. But there are also members who just don’t give a s~~~ …. but for those who do, this is perfect. Then we know the integrity of this site is preserved. And they don’t feel like we let them down or wasted their time. Thanks you guys.

Keymaster,

I salute you and whoever else assists in maintaining this site.

One suggestion, hide a paypal button somewhere we can find so we can buy you a beer once in a while in appreciation. My personal adherence to the man code demands I at least make the offer.

[felixParticipant 406]

The Paypal Beer idea sounds great!  You win the MGTOW post for the day award.

more throttle ..... less brakes.....

[DaKayParticipant 68]

Hahaha, you are killing me. When I registered I had the hell off a fight just getting my introduction-thread up here and now it’s gone again and I need to copy it here again?? Damn No! xD

Just4Info, please don’t feel offended KeyMaster, I am not complaining about it, just kinda amused…I don’t give a s~~~ about my introduction, who cares who I am, it’s just self-portrayal, all fine 😀

Christ, do you want him to die of liver failure. No human beeing could process that amount of beer!

No Tall Women are Like That? What, addicted to limbo?

[peterfaParticipant 833]

I still lost my thread about how MGTOW is subtly pro-woman (because re-instantiates accountability).

That’s actually pretty brilliant. Instead of picking through every single entry you’re letting the users themselves decide what’s worth restoring. And restore it. I think you may just have found a new way to herd cats.

Of course it only works if you have competent and rational users, but I would say we’re lucky in that regard (except luck has nothing to do with it). Can you imagine trying to do this on some feminist bitchfest forum?

Oh, dear… I think I just got PTSD just from imagining that last bit…

Well …. this is a ‘once only’ offer …. and I’ve never ‘stroked’ a guy before …. but ….. if …. I wear a glove and close my eyes …. hell I’ll do it for ya …. coz all that hard work you’ve been doing for us.

One for the team and all that.

Just don’t tell everyone ok?

😆

Ps. No gloop on my face either.

[KeymasterKeymaster]

@dakay Well as explained previously, your original intro was mistaken as “spam” by the filter because it contained a bunch of strange characters, so I went and resurrected it for you. It’s back in introductions — and I logged in as you to post it. It’s also sticky for the moment.

Very sorry , and I know that it represents your invested time and effort and it shouldn’t be lost.

Welcome very much.
