Has anyone else noticed that 3 members have disappeared if not more?
Thundercrack83, Strechnitz and Patriots1228 all have gone poof...
My question is though how this happend was there a hack or a glich
in the software that caused the members to go poof...
Are there anymore members that anyone else has noticed gone all the sudden?
I've noticed it too, same members. They still appear to be able to log on, as I saw Dustin (thundercrack83) online a few minutes ago.

Yes, but I had to re-register, which is why this is my second post. According to David, something happened accidentally and he's on the job--at least in my case. I'm sure it's the same for the others, too!
Well i just found someone else who has disappeard... Dragonshardz
So now that is 4 people... at least you got back in Dustin
At least you're still doing the rounds, Pat!
I would hate to simply just... disappear.... $%#Ninj2
The internet KGB $%#Ninj2
No- just an idiot's (referring to me) mistake. I've sorta fixed Dustin. I owe Strech, 'shardz and pats bigtime.
If anyone is in touch with them, let each know we're on it.
David
Will do David!!!

Maybe they were onto a big conspiracy and were deleted to prevent them talking about it? :P
Hehe, hopefully you can fix it, David.

Heh, some of you might recall that I have some prior experience in this area...

Fun aside, what happened to our friends' user accounts is one of the big downsides to being an administrator. Yesterday, I was doing some maintenance of the various user groups we have. I found Dustin (thundercrack83), strechnitz, dragonshardz and patriots1228 in a group that was clearly where they should not have been and hit the "remove" button.
...and, poof- they were gone.
Just like that. No warning. No "What are you doing, Dave?" box. No "This operation can't be undone" message. Just a little innocuous button exactly like a whole bunch of other little innocuous buttons here in Adminland at SC4D. I thought I was removing them from the group, the membership maintenance software thought otherwise...
...and you know who won that disagreement.
So, I'm trying to fix this. Jeronij has taken away my Admin Bathroom Privileges and chained me to the server until I do, so I'll be working on the situation really hard as we head into the weekend...
...maybe that astronaut lady has a few of those Depends [linkie] (http://www.depend.com/) left over...
...and will keep all updated.
In the meantime, my profuse apologies to all four members involved. I guess it's better that I pressed the wrong button now, though, as opposed to 25 years ago.

Again, we'll fix this.
David
LoL David now what should we do to that bad red button of yours lol
Not a problem, David! Well...maybe a slight problem, but nothing that hasn't been rectified! Thanks again, my friend!
Bad news on the "disappearing members" front. The old records are, apparently, wiped from the database.
I need for Stretch (strechnitz), 'shardz (dragonshardz) and pats (patriots1228) to re-register under those nics...
...sorry for the inconvenience, guys...
...and then PM me once they're back on so we can rebuild their member profile much as we have done with Dustin's (thundercrack83).
Again, this was my error, and I'm really sorry that it happened.
David
Aha,
This makes a lot of things very clear now. I was startled a bit when I suddenly did not seem to exist
I just wrote Jeronji a very panicky PM just now. I'll rectify that.
I don't blame you at all David. Mistakes are only too human. We all make them. Pity I will have to miss my saved PM's though. but that's not the end of the world.
I do hope that I will be able to regain acces to all my posts I've made in the forums.
luckily I have seem to accidently take the first step to recovery by reregistering myself under Strechnitz again..
I'll PM you David.
Strechnitz.
Fixing another one...
Welcome back, Stretch!
David

Hello Strech....
Hello strech and welcome!!!
I have the strangest feeling of Deja Vu $%Grinno$%
Welcome Stretch
Hello! my name is alfred. I am new here. I like Sim City. ;D
hehe shall we get rebuilding?
Welcome back, guys! Glad to see you made in back in!
It is good to be back too :thumbsup:
can we rebuild my pro? ;D
is it possible to get my username changed to Pat Riot instead of patriots_1228?
Welcome back to these members! ;)
The answer, of course, is two.

I thought the answer is 42?! ;)

And the question was? :D
LoL welcome back strech and pats great to have you home again :D
umm aint the real question or answer the question is square root of 79? ;)
Quote from: RippleJet on September 04, 2007, 01:50:40 AM
And the question was? :D
What you don't know? $%Grinno$%
well the question is What's the meaning of life, the universe and everything?
or
Who wants a cuppa?
:satisfied:
TTC
Actually, to be more specific, the ultimate question that would produce the ultimate answer, i.e. 42, is quite unknown. :P
Nobody really knows, I believe, what the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything is. :P We do know the answer is 42 though. ;D
Ahhh, it warms my heart that people around here have not neglected their literature.
especialy not on "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" :D
We need to get Zaphod in here... he should be closest to having the question! :D
The answer, however, to the specific question that was at hand, was in fact two. To be cryptic once again, it is doubted that this is any longer the answer, or better not be if someone knows what is good for him in any event.
I've become teary only twice in my life on hearing of the death of a person who had been an author or artist- Douglas Adams and Frank Zappa. Two (there's that number again, but this is just mere coincidence) immensely talented souls, gone before their time.
David
Well it can't be the number of people missing still or that were missing at the time of that post because three of the missing four reported back, with the exception of Dragonshardz.
Unless there were more casualties? :D

I could be mistaken, but I think he's around under a different name.
Stardragon, I believe.

ok then now we got that sorted $%Grinno$%
how about the answer to my second question?
Who wants a cuppa?
I'll take one please! :D I love tea!
Although I do prefer Ceylon tea, I am also a fan of Earl Grey, but I'm too afraid to ask for a cuppa of Earl Grey. $%Grinno$%
Derry i will take a cuppa nice green tea today thank you m8

Hey, welcome back, dragonshardz! Don't worry, David will get you all straightened out!
