Hey, now that none of our old posts exist..

Does this mean we all get a fresh start without losing our post counts?

SWEET! Thanks Scott..

I think Scott did this on purpose..

Yes, Quicksilver... we're all friends now. There is no animosity. We are all united by our love of Macintoshes...


Long live this spirit of Equality, Freedom, and Love!

But is there still animalosity? I hope so!

Dammit Scott! I told you that Zammy would try to use this as an opportunity to escalate his posting!!

Dammit Scott... I'm just a poster not a Moderator!


Just for the record... I have never, ever engaged in rampant post inflation. Ever.


(increases post count by 1)

Indeed.

Uh.. Scott, forget about the filters?

Dell Dell Dell.

Oh my..

:kicks Quicksilver in the nads a lot. brings un-needed animosity back to aaf:

There's no need to use that word!

Now I'll never find that flash animation with all the boobies again

give the filters time... I wonder if they'll be retroactive, though.

Yeah, the filters work on old posts as well.

damn pi, you're such a dell

It's weird seeing so many little elements that are a default of phpBB, that Scott had tweaked in the old verion... on this reply page, for example. We don't have that image map for the emoticons anymore.

I'm glad it's back, though. Thanks, Scott!

I really miss the old AAF.

This place feels so... so... what's the word?

But, I am excited about AAF3, when it comes.

Scott rocks like whitecastle

Wow, you can sure do a lot with FrontPage nowadays!

wow....

A lame attempt to draw attention to a pathetic joke in another thread.

This is a new low for you isn't it Jordo?

So, did we actually LOSE everything? Everything? Or are they saved somewhere? And will they be archived? There's a lot of stuff not worth losing. Even with all of MAF's problems, we can still access their old forum pages before they switched to phpBB.

Is there an official memo I can't find somewhere?

Not that it matters. We seem to be starting over pretty well.

:sploo:

Someone seems to be suffering from a lack of being fully informed and having all information available at his fingertips....



Maybe we could make a desktop widget for you!

It's odd that the posts are gone but not the user list since they're on the same database, or at least they are on most BB systems. I wonder what actually happened.

My guess is Archive.

There's a database archive function which does all forum data automatically. I wonder why Scott would only archive the user data. Oh well, it's not a huge loss, at least the forums are back.

Posts, and post counts are in diffferent areas of the database.

phpBB does not count all your posts and spit out an amount. It just adds +1 to your current count, and -1 when you delete one.

Yeah I know this but when you do a database backup from the phpBB admin panel it backs up all forum data so to have a backup of just the user data you'd have to do it manually. I was just curious as to why you would do this, although Scott did seem to imply that he had a backup of most of the older posts. Waiting for the "official announcement" is my chosen course of action from here on.

This is why it's possible to hack the number and set it higher if need be. And it would be hella-slow to count each post in real-time.

It's just weird seeing hoe there's like 5-10 times more members than actual Topics.

I've done worse things. Perhaps you've forgotten the ill-fated "Picnic on a Cliff" thread?


Oh no! We lost Jasoco's memory in the crash!

Oh well, you can't really tell he's changed...
