Restarting in the wake of the Great Forum Purge of April 2013

[hawkinator]

Hi, my name is Hawkinator.

I used to have a fairly large number of posts, but my account got deleted in the incident.

Now I have to start all over again like a n00b. This makes me only slightly mad, but I just hope that things can get back to running normally soon.

[AngryGiant]

I think the Great Forum Purge of April 2013 will need to have some sort of easter egg in the game.

[hawkinator]

I definitely agree.

[Merinsan]

I wish I read your post before I made mine, I could have used that! (of course giving you credit)

[hawkinator]

Feel free to use it! (I will get a not quite secret feeling of accomplishment if it becomes the widely used name for this event. This will only happen if people besides me take it up and start using it. Of course, not all of them will recognize me, but some will.)

[Barklight]

That's actually a great idea. Perhaps a memorial monolith stuck in orbit somewhere

[jwenting]

yay, back as well. Now we're all as green as Jeb and Bill

[Leobeast]

I lost my Jeb Bill is still alive though! that's... something.

[hawkinator]

I feel like it is appropriate to put a link to This Thread here

[Ruedii]

I was affected too, but my account was no, so that would explain it.

[wingnut]

Lost my account, too. Unfortunately the forum was shutdown just after I had posted my first vehicle in the Spacecraft exchange forum and now it is gone, what a pity.

I hope Squad will fix the shortcomings in their backup process so that this will not happen again.

[BFalcon]

We all know what happened... Jeb got into the backups system and wondered what all the buttons did... by the time they caught him, it was too late.

[Flixxbeatz]

Ha, yes. Had around 670 posts and 2 missions running on Mission Reports. A massive chunk of it was lost.

Now to start again...

[Swifty]

I also was a victim of the great forum purge of April 2013. Pretty sure these forums will have fully recovered in a few days. And there will be but whispers of time when the space kraken escaped from the depths of the solar system.

[Vlk]

Now I have to start all over again like a n00b.

So now you quickly post some pointless comments like a n00b (Same here, i just want my first 5 posts again )

[SunJumper]

Most of my post count seems to have survived. I will have to replace the TSOV page.

[Moon Goddess]

I lost my account, but I expected to, I only created my account 1 day before the crash

So Hi, I'm new here.

[Chrome]

I hardly had any posts cause I'm still relatively new, so neener neener

Good to start fresh sometimes though

[Capt'n Skunky]

Happy Launching!

Arrr!

Wow, 17 people beat Capt'n Skunky. That's got to be a new record!

[Jason Kerb]

That sucks. The same thing happened to me too, and I had three post... THREE POSTS! Thankfully, through the science of cloning, I'm still here.

[pinolallo]

Wow, nothing than the welcome aboard to increase the dropped message count.

[architeuthis]

I don't care about post counts, but the sheer volume of information that was utterly destroyed is a little humbling. Ah well, forward to a bigger and brighter future:)

At least some was saved in Google Cache, that's a positive

Feel free to use it! (I will get a not quite secret feeling of accomplishment if it becomes the widely used name for this event. This will only happen if people besides me take it up and start using it. Of course, not all of them will recognize me, but some will.)

I will certainly be using it.
