    Well done Charles for all your hard work.
    I don't understand anything you've written up above but I'm glad you do

      I was wondering last night: would it be possible to crowd source some kind of restoration project?

      I've no idea of the extent to which the backups were corrupted and if anything useful is salvageable. Another idea was harnessing Google's cache or the Wayback machine and parsing the pages but I just tried and didn't find anything really useful.

      I guess it comes down to feasibility and motivation(both to actually do the needful and how meh we are towards recovering our drunken irk posts).

      At the very least, I'd volunteer to try and recover JazzFunk's pearls of wisdom

          Wisdom.

          I realise now that it sounds a bit like I'm volunteering to 'milk' him. Which I am.

                Site would appear to have lost some 150 members in the data-loss, too. It was a couple shy of 11k the other day, I think?

                  Thanks for the wayback idea. I found one of the Fire Emblem reviews on there

                    Yeah I think so - normally a few each week. Bummer. Not sure how best to alert them when they arrive and can't login.

                      A banner on the "can't log in page" might help.

                        It's a shame a lot was lost but on the bright side you at least still have it up & running, threads can be recreated. Out of curiosity i checked to see if my ds game retrospective was still on, thankfully it was. I really should take this oppertunity to revive it and restore all the pics in the threads as they have gone thanks to my hosting option gone (again).

                        Will be fun add some more games too seeing as i have many more games to share.

                          Easier said than done, but I can change the text that appears when it fails to login I think. I'll get on it.

                              I believe I should be Blue, I can't send PMs because I'm over my non-blue limit!
