Heya. How's everyone doin'?
Now, I am certain you all are wondering what happened to all the mountains of activity over this last weekend that you've come to expect from RE? Well, I don't know if any of you tried (any other than one), but the forums were slightly exploded.
Well, no. It gets worse than that.
See, I had managed to delete every master account in RE. Better yet, the last backups I made were in, like, dial-up ages. Some messed up logic, that is.
It coulda cost me ugly, too, to retrieve from my host's daily backup. Apparently, for being such a good customer for, oh, ever, I got it at a five-finger discount.
Funny to think how far I was willing to go in order to save some data that prolly isn't worth a coupla pennies. FtRPG forevah~!

This doesn't mean we're missing really important(read: any) conversations we've had over the years, are we?
Waiiit, since dial-up? Does that mean the pub might be back?

The Master accounts were bah-leeted; the posts themselves and all other data remained intact.
And, as far as I know, the accounts were restored without missing any time. Well, with the possible exception of missing that new signature I added on Friday before The Unspeakable occurred...

I'm doing good
Yay for master-account-ness... the one account to rule them all... hmm.. what's news everyone? Haven't been here in ages...
Ho! Ho! Ho! to the gameboy I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may gale,
But my battery is yet to fail.
So in a dank corner I will lie,
And watch the hours go sailing by.
And while I lie in this nintendo-induced trance,
I decide I'll give Pokemon Crystal a chance.

Apparently they weren't down very long - I missed it. Although, there might be other reasons for that...

Wow, with all these old obscure-bies poppiin' up, I guess it is a good thing all your accounts weren't deleted.
It also apparently means I should asplode the site more often to increase traffic.

Weeelll, I don't know if I'd go *that* far, Mint. =P I for one intend to try to stop by a bit more, at least when I remember to. It's been ages since I've stopped by the End.
Was I always #10...? Or did I get bumped up or something?

You should delete everyone of unimportance so that I'm not member #2xx. Wait, there are over 200 accounts? Shenanigans!
Natural selection saw to it that professional heroes who at a crucial moment tended to ask themselves questions like "What is my purpose in life?" very quickly lacked both.

Funny that I was questioning just that same fact, 'Figs, since Cheet mentioned his number.
Two-hundred, yes. Active? Nope.

Define active, the number could vary from 1 to.. 10? Actually, I somewhat forget about this place when people don't respond to my SA or BD challenges, especially when I've reformatted my computer and it's no longer a bookmark.
Yeah, it's a bookmark. Feel special.
