Forum Restoration

[Sekishi]

Hi everyone,

There was a database issue this morning that lead to a loss of some member accounts. We noticed it initially for older accounts, but it may have impacted other accounts as well.

Out of an abundance of caution, I made the decision to simply restore the entire forum from our last automated daily backup. This means that all threads, replies, and PMs sent between approximately 8:30am EDT and 3:30pm EDT today have been lost.

Before restoring from backup, I did snag a copy of all the threads under "New Posts" updated after midnight last night (just doing a simple "File > Save" of the thread in my browser). So if you posted a long or difficult reply and you do not want to re-type it, please send me a PM and I'll send you a copy!

My apologies for the disruption.

Deep bows,
Sekishi

That must be why I couldn't log in for a while. I have one of the oldest accounts on the forum.

Thank you for saving me.

You were our "canary in the coalmine" Kirk! The loss of your account is what tipped us off that something was wrong.

I describe Sekishi this way: Always taking care of care of wounded animals, stray kids, aged family and our forum. ��

That pretty much sums him up!

There is also another fellow to thank, behind the scenes, down in the engine room: Seimyo. He does not stick his head up on deck very often, but he is down in the boilers, and is the fellow that Sekishi turns too when HE has got a question!

Gassho, Jundo

Wow, great work Sekishi, Grand Wizard Guru of All Things Technical. And Shoka too! Thanks for saving us (again)!

Zen koan:
The nun Byokan went to Master Sekishi and asked, "Where did my words go when the morning wind carried them away?"
Sekishi replied, "I have restored your words as they were, and Ryumons face as well!"
Byokan answered, "ah, but are they still my words? Is it really Ryumons face?"
Sekishi said, "look, donuts!" and rang the big bell.

Yes. He is the true GOAT when it comes to vBulletin. When I'm in over my head he throws me a lifejacket!

Deep bows,

And they were true painted rice cakes. I mean donuts.

Thanks to Shoka too, who was running around behind the scenes chasing the escaped chickens of missing posts.
