Today, the Young Writers Society suffered a database crash. Without getting technical, the database had become increasingly corrupted over the past three years (since we moved to the current server). This was not a problem when the site had light activity. But with heavy activity in the past few days, it has increasingly become an issue. However, in fixing the corrupted files, the database suffered a crash and had to be built back from scratch.

The good news is that the site should now be faster, and we'll suffer less downtime from here on out.

The bad news is that about 7 hours are missing. The last database backup was from 10 am GMT December 18. The database crashed at about 5pm GMT December 18. Any messages, comments, reviews, etc., posted during this period are irretrievably gone. Fortunately, this should only affect a small minority of users.

My apologies for any inconvenience this cost.

Aet you are terrible.

I think I have replaced the posts I lost, though I actually don't know where I've replied and where I haven't now xD

Never mind!

This is what happens when I review.

Just thought I'd come in to congratulate Aet, for managing to obtain a better spot in the yearbook. Congrats, sweetie. <3

We lost an epic post from Flemzo in the Gun Violence topic. The tragedy!

Same here ^^ And this time I was actually proud on howI wrote that review.. *sigh*

Though it doesn't compare to "Oh my what happened no way where is it want it back reload reload come ooonn.." when I first saw the site was down :mrgreen: so I'm more happy than sad after all.

I thank you for your concern. That post literally took 20 minutes to research and write. Looks like I'll have to do it all over again, if I can even remember the point I was making...
