Ransom Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 (edited) Thats easier said than done deathb. To retain the original post and remove all the others we'd have to tick a box in every single other post then split them then delete the new thread created by the split.This is why those few were straight deleted rather than pruned. lol, just go to edit on the first post, control + a highlight all, control + c copy, and control + p paste to a pm. That simple. P.S. A rollback would be GREAT. I really hope the original VCP thread can be restored as well as getting my first post back from the last VCP thread. Then it can be deleted again for all I care. All you have to do is what I said above to send me a copy of my first post, unless you bring them to public view shortly.

Si|ent Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 That would not leave the initial post, time. date. poster. Hence why the whole thread was deleted. Link to comment
trx Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 What a MESS! Not sure what to say or think, except being disappointed in the entire matter. Nothing I can do as well, but poke at blokker for doing a restore, which I'm not even sure is possible/desirable. Just game on, people... Link to comment
Iggy Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Fuck my post count dropped about 200, and our gangs history is gone! Link to comment

Nothing I can do as well, but poke at blokker for doing a restore, which I'm not even sure is possible/desirable. Just game on, people... I don't think the forums should be restored to before, but set up some dud forum or something and restore into it so we can look at it and take our posts out or whatever. Thats all I want is the original VCP thread (that has NO reason to be deleted. Almost noone in the forums now posted in that thread) back and the first VCP post on the new topic. Link to comment
MAD_BOY Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 i agree, the 1st vcp thread was HISTORY (i type it in caps too, since i saw other doing that too ) like i still remember my first post in it (ok, not that precise) but anyway, the clean-up was ok (cause there really was a shitload of spam in some threads) but i was just wondering, what are you gonna do with the mod that did it? (if you find out who it was) Link to comment

Ransom Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 there is no roll back function, and the last backup is a couple of weeks old, i will try to setup an extra board with the latest backup i can find when i find the time this evening (if i can find the backup that is) so ppl can recover some information Thank you blokker. My information will still be relatively up-to-date. Please leave a message here (or somewhere) so I know when its up. i agree, the 1st vcp thread was HISTORY (i type it in caps too, since i saw other doing that too ) like i still remember my first post in it (ok, not that precise) but anyway, the clean-up was ok (cause there really was a shitload of spam in some threads) but i was just wondering, what are you gonna do with the mod that did it?

Ransom Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 HOLY ^@^& I'm just wondering, can/will you put the original VCP thread back in these forums where it belongs? Link to comment
Turbo X Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 but then why was my postcount changed? Link to comment
Oli Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 mine was aswell... its cos ure posts in the deleted threads were deleted. Link to comment
vass69 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 ur not the only ppl who lost posts Link to comment
Cerbera Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 It's not gonna happen before the weekend, i'm gonna upload the file tonight (it's 150MB)Fantastic news. Clan leaders will be able to retrieve the code for thier decorative first posts in order to re-create thier clan topic. Additionally, old match reports could be salvaged and other souvenirs. I would advise clans that they only create one thread if they wish to re-post old match reports, though.To those confused about post count loss, I would imagine that this board increments your post count each time you make a post and decrement the post count each time a post of yours is deleted. Therefore, everyone who ever posted in a thread which was deleted would lose however many posts they had made in that thread. Link to comment
