Rollback
Earlier this afternoon, the site crashed again. Edmund did all he could to try to restore it, but the only way to get the site back up was to do a rollback. This means that all the data from the past day and a half or so is gone. We cannot restore stats because there is nothing to restore. It's...
SITE RULES-NEW PLAYERS MUST READ!!!

Why do we fall? So we can pick ourselves up again.
There was a massive data crash through the weekend and into yesterday that significantly damaged the module user preferences table of the database, the problem goes back for weeks actually and the only way to safely get the lost data back is to backtrack the entire site back 2 weeks.
The table...

Can't we all just get along?!?
We KNOW the server is slow. We KNOW there are a lot of new firsties. Without these new accounts, this site would DIE. I'm SURE all you older players don't want the site to die and the truth of the matter is, when registration was closed, the site was STILL slow. Not AS slow, I know, but STILL...
