As you can see, we lost all posts since December in the database corruption. That's a devestating blow to many play by post games, but not all hope is lost. Google and most (if not all) other search engines keep pages in a cache. Search for your game/thread/etc in Google to see how much of the game you can find. DO use that possibility, and do so as early as you can!

FYI, I've found one game not in the cache at all, not sure if it was a time issue or not. So do it quickly.

Thanks for the tip, KO. I was able to get all of Ransom for Retirement back.

KO, do you and Nimisgod have a record of all the characters that you have approved since then? I've had two characters gain a level in that time, and unless the emails I sent to you or Nimisgod are still floating around in my email account somewhere, I don't have those changes. I'll be able to check it this evening, but I thought I should ask.

If the character sheets were in the emails, I should have a copy still.

I used google to grab as much of the character thread as possible. I am missing page 3, so updates to those characters will have to be done manually. Most of these files date to May 1, so should be as up to date as possible. I've also included links at the top of each page to the Google cache. You can use those to get the formatting of character sheets.

File 1: Pages 1,2,4
File 2: Pages 5,6,7

Looks like they may have a May backup. So it might pay to hold off on games until we know more.

Thanks to Erekose13, I've gotten all of my characters back. I'm currently re-linking their XP logs up to the old or newly recovered posts, and then I should be set. Are we going to need to re-submit for approval?

Unfortunately, there is no May backup. Game on.
