cat666 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks to all who got it back. How about publishing the name, e-mail addresses, home phone numbers, mobile, home address, etc. et.c of the backstabber so the users here can send him/her our thoughts on his act?

Sbrideau Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 A good thanks to the Tip.it Staff to have brought the forums back from that backstab. The forums come back stronger than ever!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks to all who got it back. How about publishing the name, e-mail addresses, home phone numbers, mobile, home address, etc. et.c of the backstabber so the users here can send him/her our thoughts on his act? ...I don't think so. Just as long as he doesn't come back we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Let's see if my avatar and signature are saved. And, also. Where is the music & movies forum? :( Anyway, nice to see us back online. Shame you have to cough up the loss. Can we get the classic subsilver layout as well? I found the music and movies forum. Thanks.

Mercifull Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Obviously a lot of lessons to be learned. Its a very big shame. My thoughts go out to the staff of tipit. Would be nice to know a few more details on the "how" for others of us that run large forums so that we can perhaps but in some extra security systems to prevent a repeat.

dsavi Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I happen to have SubSilver for PHPBB3 sitting around on my server, but I don't know if the staff would trust a download from me :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeddude Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks tip.it! A lot of TET work to do though, and the forums look odd, i prefer the old one, but meh, ill get used to it! =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Guys, It's sad that we lost alot of important data, I myselt lost over 500 posts and some very important project and information, but I am not angry. I see lots of people mad and angry and Tip.it has started up twice from the ground up in the past 7 years, so I consider this a minor setback. We will get everything worked out and working soon.

Will H Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I happen to have SubSilver for PHPBB3 sitting around on my server, but I don't know if the staff would trust a download from me :P That would be a nice start. As long as we can safely open it to make sure that it is what you say it is, we can retrieve at least some of our skins. What was that wooden style skin called? I want that one back. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooferfish Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Good to see the forums back. New board style is gonna take some getting used to though :wall: Good job getting our forum back to all who worked on it! Grats to all the users too, you made it through a tough TIF-Less time.

alphakoldes Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Some of you guys need to stop complaining over trivial things like post counts, avatar or smiles not working. You need to understand how much work it took to get the forums back THIS FAST, considering what happened. Be gracious people worked this hard, and help contribute to the re-make of these forums by posting in that thread the staff is spreading around. In any form of darkness or loss, the people who stick together are going to come out a much stronger, tight nit group of people. It's no difference in this case. Thanks to everyone who contributed. I'm proud to be a member of this community. -Man, I really do love Runescape, and I'm sure if it was a real person I would of asked it to marry me by now.

Hawks Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well, I'm happy it's back, kudos to the people who got it all running in only three days! Sad I lost like 200 posts, mostly important for Rusco and the Falador Library, hoping we can get that back up soon. Hate the new phpBB3... but mostly just the skin for now. Sorry for the big letters ---> I MISS THE FALADOR LIBRARY! Ooh... "At least one new post has been made to this topic. You may wish to review your post in light of this."

Bac_Talan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I guess some people think that kind of thing is fun. :? Oh well, hopefully this will result in the admin team making backups and saving them onto their own computers more often. ;) So we aren't completely dead when the server crashes completely.. (By the way, are smilies working for anyone else, or am I the only one who they aren't working for? :|) I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.Pics or it didn't happen.

Abyssalwhip Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 So who the hell out of the staff did this? Also this new phpbb sucks to be honest. Is there anyway we can get the old one back just for ourselves, (so it doesn't affect everyone). Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danqazmlp Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Man, i can't believe how sad it is for somebody to do that. Good job to the people who got the forum back online. However, its a shame we've lost the last 2 months posts as there were some exceptional threads. Ie the tipit pic and the picures of tipiters threads. Also lost my scoring guide which took over a month to make, doub't i'll remake as it took so long. Want to be my friend?
