We're currently restoring the forums, however we've gotten rid of all the posts and threads. All user accounts (and yes, your post count, too) is still intact. Avatars are screwed and the forum has to be re-customized, but we've got the bare bones up and running.

Patience is a virtue!

brb nerd stuff :nerd:

Yeah, I'd like to know whether old mods will be put back, or whether along with the new forum you'll instate new mods.

What did y'all do to the forums NOW? It seems as though every couple of weeks there is a new problem. Granted, I mainly just lurk, but STILL! now there is nothing to lurk, and I may have to actually CONTRIBUTE now... Thanks a lot...

Are all the threads coming back, though? Or are they deleted for good? Because all of our Interactive stories, gone?:blanky:

Synner: All old threads are gone for good. The stories aren't coming back. New stories can be made, but the olds ones are gone.

Master_Taco: People haven't been screwing the forums up that much. Kwanza just had an error happen when he was upgrading the forums. Don't whine about having to contribute.

Oh, and the flag guy is staying flagged. He's been flagged for years.

I'm not quite sure if vBulletin has an auto-backup mod, but Nuke has an auto-backup system that e-mails me a copy of the database every other day and even has the option of backing up your entire site.

I've searched for a while, and all I've came up with are these two links

Auto Backup Cron Job Tutorial (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=211893&highlight=auto+backup)

Really quick backup (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72350&highlight=auto+backup)

Info about e-mailing the backup to a set address (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=213626&highlight=auto+backup)


If you guys are using a cPanel based hosting account, you're set. Otherwise, I donno what to do.

Guys, ditch the disk doctor advertisements. That shit fucks your computer up like a needle full of whore spit.

A friend of mine's comp had to be put down because of it.

I second that, sometimes my virus program pops up saying it detected something. So, I guess its the disk docter ads.
