Rock, Paper, Baguette

We're gonna be the internet equivalent of Gypsies constantly wandering from one host to the next with no true home.

 

[Adamska]

What really gets me is how a random stray email led to a kneejerk reaction - without investigation mind you - from not one, but two hosts.

Is this really standard operating procedure?

I'm guessing that it's more like the admin staff for both services are genuinely retarded myself.

Null doesn't know the first rule of having shit on a computer. Have a backup of everything. Then backup the backup.

That's a fuckton of data to keep up with bro. Plus we were on that board for what, a week? Hard to keep a backup when they drop you in that time with literally no warning.

What a pathetic chain of events.

Less than that. The migration happened Friday night.

I am a faggot

Still, he should have had a backup of the scripts.

Tbh most small websites who's hosts drop them randomly usually die or take weeks to come back. I say he did a good job.

Null? More like decent administrator.

That can't be legal.

You can get away with a lot of illegal things if no one bothers to sue you.

Saying who our host is is like Chris telling people who is ebook publisher is. It just invites weens to make trouble.

Is there a way to donate anonymously so that when GamerGate hacks the server they can't dox me?

Yeah, try getting a copy of all two days of :autism: after a quick move. Shit's hard to do.

Anyways since the French abandoned us, might as well join the Ummah and scream Arabic slogans now.

@Null let me know when I can put the Chris interview back up; I lost my delicious ratings and tasty trophy and now I'm jonesing, man.

As someone who knows fuck-all about website management, I've got to ask, is it possible to retrieve any of the lost content? A decent amount still exists in Google's cache.

I'll leave the official answer for Null or another admin to give out, but with my knowledge and experience with forums, probably not. Forums are generally database-driven applications and threads, posts, ratings, users, etc are all saved into various tables and places within that database. The data that was lost is lost because the places they occupied in the DB are now empty again, just like they were on Friday night. The only feasible route for recovery would be to obtain any type of cached or server snapshot content from the French host, but going by their email to Null it seems they just purged the server(s) and shut it all down without any regard to data integrity.

Well yeah. I'll give credit for him getting it back up so quickly, in a very sudden event.
