Playerworlds down

Great, you destroyed quite a bunch of work.

The problem is that the computer has technical problems (won't start) and getting access to it will take 2-3 weeks minimum, but in that time you probably don't need the backup anymore. I can understand how it feels to lose work or needing to redo stuff, but currently I'm happy that the things are working at all.

I don't understand. Did the machine(s) just die and you then decided to move the content? Or did you turn it/them off because you already planned to do this beforehand? If you turned it/them off yourself, why not save a backup of all data before doing that?

fml I did a lot over the weekend, and now I have to do it again.

We made a backup last friday, and yesterday tried to copy the latest data but it died in the middle that's why some playerworlds are good and some not.

I don't think it was their fault. Happy to read stuff like this:

Any improvement in player relations should be welcome.

Of course not. I wasn't being serious, just passively pissed.

Yeah, I can understand.

This, I feel, is the most important element; not just in this thread but in all forums currently active. I think it is most interesting and important to point out that Stefan is currently calling the shots.

A second Kudos to Stefan, although he did not directly answer my question without being further pursued by Crow. It's a shame that Crow would continue to flame on Stefan - especially after adding a week of developer status to all active developer accounts - something previously unseen, at least to my best knowledge.
