Re: What happen?
All of the posts made within the last ~9 hours are gone.
It looks like someone screwed up the database and then restored from an earlier copy.

It also marked as new messages I already read earlier today.
Something definitely went wrong somewhere.
They were marked as new because they were new to you in the backup version from this morning. Anything posted after that is gone.

Re: What happen?
Hi everyone,
Well I guess you all noticed that most of today's posts have disappeared. While backing up the site, there was a problem and we lost data. This happened on both the forum and main site.
Long story short, everything posted post-6 a.m. central time is gone forever. I'm sorry about any inconvenience this may cause.

Damn it! My hard drive was failing and I posted my doctoral thesis here as a last ditch effort to save it. Now this? I demand restitution!
I dont say that there is no God. I'm not an atheist because I find atheism to be a mirror of the certainty of religion and I don't like certainty about the next world because we can't know. What I say, what I say is "I don't know."

Re: What happen?
I never go to a sit down lunch while at work. I usually just grab something and eat at my desk. But today I figured, "What the hell." As soon as I left, KABOOM!
I'll never leave my desk again.

Remember: Copy and delete is safer than a Move command. 
I’m not ready to make nice-I’m not ready to back down-I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round-It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could-‘Cause I’m mad as hell-Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

No need. Special desks are being installed, plumbing and cuffs included.

As long as I liquify all food, the Stadium Buddy is all I need.
A nice essay about it can be found here.

No but the fact it's been down enough recently to remind us of of those bygone eras speaks volumes.
