Infi Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 That's too bad. I'm sure none of us really mind anyways, and if you do - shame on you. Tip.it spent really hard restoring it as fast as possible, bravo to them. :D 99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errdoth Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Blargh. I had a similar thing happen on a site I co-run. It was a fansite for a video game that hasn't come out yet, so there were only a handful of forum users and posts, but I had spent at least a few days cumulative working on the site (extensively modifying the CMS, setting up database frontends for items, monster, whatever) and hadn't thought to take any backups, because...you know, it's a fansite for an MMO that isn't released yet, what could happen? Well, about a week in, the dude who was paying for hosting decided that he didn't want to be part of it anymore, so he gave the hosting and everything else to the other dude and me. A couple days later, I get back from school and find the entire site to be gone, all of the passwords changed, database deleted, everything: gone. This is april 1st right, so I thought it might have been someones crude april fools joke, but it turns out the dude who left decided to delete everything for god knows whatever reason. Even though I've rewritten most everything, it still made me angry as ---- Obviously, my experiences don't compare to a site this big, but I just felt like sharing that. (I now back up everything once a night to my local disk, heh) Also, I really hope the person who did this isn't who I think they are, I always kinda respected him.

Dalcyte Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm not sure if someone already asked, but who did it? That's up to the admins if they want to disclose that or not. For now it's best not to ask and just enjoy that we have the forums back. Well it's nice to have things back...but it's kinda different! Will take some getting used to i suppose.

Mamong Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Let's not look at the past too much. What's happened has happened. Instead, we need to look at a future with a newer, better Tip.It. The important thing is that most of us still have accounts and we can access the forums. [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promise Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I liked the look of older forums. Possibly a new skin called "Classic Look?' And I'm sure most of us are puzzled why the hide tags are gone. Great forums, but still needs some tweaks. Also, the new smileys look like aliens. Especially this one. :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soupy17 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 A few things to say here. A: I really hope w/e rogue mod decided to do this comes back in a few weeks, and realizes that we are a little more than a community, and sees how we have built right back up. B: I, for one, will probably be donating / clicking adds over the next few days, becasue tipit has helped me a lot and its [cabbage] that silveron would have to cover money the jerk did to us in damage. Is it possible to sue him/her :D? C: Long live tipit! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. V. Devnull Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Also, the new smileys look like aliens. Especially this one. :mrgreen: I agree. I'd like back the ones that are referred to as "huh" and "<_<", and the sizes of a few others need extreme fixing. Something tells me that, when the phpBB designers made Version 3, they weren't thinking very much about design and styles in this regard. (File it under "D'oh!"... #-o ...) Other than that, the only other problems I have are the "hide tag" issue, and someone needs to finish fixing the signature modification to the forums. I still can't tweak my sig, apparently due to its' supposed size (296 characters as the system is reading it) when there are only 215 characters displayed, as shown by the code that is located at http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/charcount.shtml ... The underlying code needs to be not counted in any way, shape, or form. :ugeek: ~Mr. D. V. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people...
