 | reply to Davesnothere What happens if "some guy" stole your name when you posted anonymously? What happens when the old data gets mixed in with the old? Who will assume the name Chuckcar? Some Guy stole my name and i got my name back when all the old data was lost well we'll just have to wait and see who gets my name. |
|
 | reply to Davesnothere Well i guess i'll have to hurry and register my *old* names Some Guy stole from me in case i get to keep them when the old data gets mixed in with the new. Because if i don't he'll get my old names and i won't be able to use them only he will be able. |

 | reply to omasse He should've done incremental backups in which case it would've cost him nothing. Now how much could text possibly take up? There were very few pictures and all for nothing if the bloke just did those incremental backups. Note: Always remember to do incremental backups no matter who you are! |
|
 Anon | reply to HiVolt Well i got another one of my names back. I sure hope i get to keep them and they don't go back to the "Some Guy" who stole my names. Well we'll just have to wait and see what happens when the old data gets mixed in with the new. |

| reply to Davesnothere Does that mean our passwords are going to get reverted again?

Having borked my own systems a couple of times, I can only begin to imagine what a PITA restoring all of DSLr must be like. -- Everything in Moderation... including moderation. |

 Anon | Only time will tell. When i used to post anonymously "Some Guy" stole my names and i couldn't register them because he registered them but i got them back when the old data went down. I have to wait and see what happens when the old data gets mixed in with the new. I hope my names don't revert back to him and i get to keep them. |

 Anon | reply to milnoc That's easy we've been arguing for the past 8 or so years and i was posting anonymously so every time i used a name he'd register the name i was using anonymously then the next time i tried to use it i couldn't because it would say that name is already taken so i had to keep on changing names. |

I'll bite, if very gently... why didn't you just register a name you liked before posting anonymously with it? -- Everything in Moderation... including moderation. |

 milnoc join:2001-03-05 H3B kudos:1 | I've gone one step further. My name is also a domain name that I own: Milnoc.com.
One day, I'll revive the site. I just need to upgrade to WordPress while keeping the old pages in their current locations. -- Watch my future television channel's public test broadcast! »thecanadianpublic.com (click "Watch Live!") |

You really should get a clue about the topic at hand before you go mouthing off about what other people should do. Right now, you just sound like a complete and utter tool. |

You really should get a clue about the topic at hand before you go mouthing off about what other people should do. Right now, you just sound like a complete and utter tool. But this time he makes a good point (amongst the other stuff).
There simply is NO GOOD EXCUSE/REASON for not making periodic backups to an alternate geographical location, especially if other folks depend upon you or your site !
(and by periodic, I DO NOT mean once every 2 years in which case DSLR wasn't due until September, eh ? )
Even once per month would have been a dramastic improvement over what just happened.
