07.09.2009 Where have all the forum threads gone?
During this morning's downtime a fatal error occured during an automated maintenance process on a database table. This error lead to the loss of all forum thread titles created since August 26th. We still have the messages, but we can't connect them to the threads or to the forum in which they were posted, as the metainformation about the thread has been lost. So while the messages are still there, we have in practise lost them as it is an impossible task for us to manually locate and link together all the 70.000 threads.
Straight from our hearts: This really sucks. Big time. During the day, we have tried to find ways to recreate these threads, but it has not been possible. We are very sorry for this disruption, and will try our best to make sure it does not happen again.
