Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-26-2011, 02:48 AM

Okay, now that was creepy, if anything. Can anybody explain it to me? Forum server collapse and refreshing with some data getting lost, or what?

I am referring to the fact that I have posted here and on the game thread yesterday, like, maybe 9 PM my time (or somesuch), and now both the posts are gone AND my PM which I sent to LMP is gone as well from my "sent mail" box? Likewise, Foley had commented on my post alter then, and this post is nowhere to be seen as well... what the heck happened? (And I notice, as I have changed my signature at that time - or actually several hours later, it went also back to what it was before, so I'm really suspecting some server-down thingy?)

Anyway, to sum up (in a very abbreviated way) what I have said in my post:

- I agree with what was said about handling timeline outside Scarburg, hopefully however now we don't intend to leave Scarburg much for some time now.

- In my post, I am bringing back the issue with Thornden-Coen, also just reminding Dury and Foley if they wanted to do something about that, now that the party is back...

- LMP, at some point (sooner or later), I would like Hilderinc to approach Falco, if you wish, we could maybe make a co-post out of it. I have also sent you a PM about it, but since it has disappeared from my PM box, not sure if it reached you - please let me know if you received my PM or not. If not, I will write and send to you a new one.

Gah, this just really annoys me. I am at least glad that I am saving posts I write on the game thread to my computer, so that it's not lost. Thus, reposting it rightaway.

You're lucky you saved your post, Legate. I noticed there was something... weird... with the forum yesterday. It was behaving at bedtime as though it were noon--not in terms of timestamp, but in terms of what was new... and when it thought I was logged in.

Glad to know it wasn't just me.

(and, yes, I'm still reading along with everything in Scarburg... I just haven't felt that Nain needed to make one of his erstwhile appearances toDay, and toDay has been very, very long)

Hey, nice to hear you are still following us, Form... even the knowledge of having a reader cheers up

And yes, I am really grateful for saving my RPG posts on my computer - I have been doing it more like irrationally, or at first, it was because of "drafting" the posts, later also because it serves as a good overview of what I had been posting (and useful tool to look up things I have posted a long time ago easily), but now it came really handy... might be even a good reason for the others to get the same habit, if you aren't doing that already - just in case...

I got it in my email in box and wrote you a new response, Legate. Let me know if you don't t get it.

I wondered what was going on, too...

Legate, I responded to your post, as I think you saw. I still intend to post sometime today, but things are not going exactly as planned. I didn't go to work, and I've been doing crazy stuff like running and riding horses and visiting my nephews all day instead.

It's time for lunch and then homework. Maybe this evening will give me some writing time.
