Some topics disappeared? (rollback?) O_o

Post by AwesomeBrand »

So I understand not alot of people come to this site & forum so not alot of recent posts are gonna exist, I still come back here to see if either anything is stirring about. I come in & I feel I slipped into another dimension or something because I remember posts up to AT LEAST last year. I come back and the most recent posts are from 2015 and even then they're from the beginning of that year, a majority I see are from 2014, there isn't even any discussion on the Saturn translation patch! :-k

Has there been a rollback? Were posts deleted for bandwidth reasons? I'm honestly stumped.

First of all, I am really sorry about this.

Yes indeed, there was an issue with my hosting service.

They had a huge database breakdown last week. You might have noticed forums were down from Thursday to a yesterday.

I have several sites and forums running here, and in the plan I use I am responsible for my own backups. Although I have weekly backups of everything, there was an issue with precisely the Junker HQ forums: A typo on my db backup script had me with empty backups for a year and several months. Hence, the last fully working backup I had was from mid 2015.

I'm still waiting t see if my service provider has more recent backups for some reason, but it is unlikely.

I am really sorry about this, and it is sad that my oldest forum was the only one affected, since it is the one I like the most.

Obviously I made sure this doesn't happen again, but it is too late now.

On the bright side, we had very low activity but I hate this happened and I am really sorry. I really hope this doesn't keep people away, and that we can go on as always: a small but united community.

Not to worry. It sucks, but these things happen sometimes. On the positive side, you've stopped it from happening again.

Glad to see the forums back up. When I saw it down on Thursday I thought "well, that's it. Junker HQ is dead".
On another note, it’s mid-2015 again. Who’s ready for Phantom Pain to release in the next 2-3 months?

Persona 5.
I haven't finished it yet but, so far, a fantastic game! Way better then the spins offs of Persona 4 we've had for the past 8 years (Arena and Dancing All Night were garbage).

Also been meaning to finish Echo Night 2 and Saturn Policenauts. I got half way through both but stopped, for reasons I'm not sure of.

Gaming wise, a mix of Phantom Pain and Rocket League.

Gravity Rush, Yakuza 0, FINALLY got around to playing Broken Sword 4 (probably the weakest in the series, can't recommend it).

Wew, I completely forgot about this forum during the last few years. Currently translating an RPG Maker game into Russian. It's pretty nice, I learned a lot.
