Oh, it *will* happen again?...That makes me feel safe, hehe. However, I agree with the idea that you'll be prepared next time. I just hope you won't follow the "Humans are the only animal that falls twice with the same stone"...

By the way, as I said in other post, well done^^

Well an account made in May isn't "an account on the forums between 7/23 and 8/3", is it? ^^;

No. However, there was a discussion going on at the temp forums where a board power-that-be mentioned that everyone from May onward would have to re-join when the regular board came backup (as it was I had to re-register to use the temp forums Confused ).

It looks like ANN had the board backed up better than they originally thought, which I'm sure made more than just my day Smile.

Apparently I spoke badly, because that was not my intention.

What I was saying was that, because the data of the temporary forum came from 5/14 (just like the rest of the site) that it would not contain any user accounts beyond 5/14.

The temporary forum data was separate from the back-up data that we were busy recovering for the past week. I had been referring only to the temporary forum, when I said that users who made accounts after may would need to recreate them. Likewise, when the forum was restored, we deleted all the accounts made between 7/23 and 8/3, and thus (this time) THOSE would need to be remade.

Ohhh. Sorry I misunderstood you Embarassed. I was worried I'd need to be here when the regular forums came back up to re-register and I was just happy to find out it wasn't necessary.

I really did not expect the site to be up and running again so quickly! I am disappointed, however, because I had just discovered the forums, and I did not find the link to viewing the temp forum until it was too late. Crying or Very sad But now that the forums and the site are up, I guess it will take me a while to go through all the topics... Shocked And I hate coffee. How am I going to stay up to commit such a feat? Anime hyper
