D&D 5E [Merged] "We're back!" Threads

[Greenmtn]

As I understand it, going by posts on Facebook, recent backups were found to be corrupt and ENWorld has been restored to the most recent backup that was known to be good.

Interestingly, I note that HardForum has also gone down, so I wonder if there's an issue with VBulletin here?

This is also my understanding.

I fortunately kept a back up of two of my ongoing campaign threads on another forum, so I simply copy pasted them back, with some new images.

Good to be back

One of the nasty realities of running a board, is data loss. I'm a mod on a motorcycle board where we lost years of data, some of it quite valuable and irreplaceable, despite multiple backups.

Several months means all my PbP games have gone. Which seems to be the case from what I can see in the forums. Campaign group as well.

Oh well. Fingers crossed ENWorld can recover the lost material.

If not, its a clean slate!

Yeah, lots of recent stuff gone. We're rebuilt before, and we have a much better start then last time. I feel bad for the PbP games, but we've still got a lot of content.

Woo hoo, we're back!

Welcome back and thanks for all the hard work to get us to this point.

Yes, thanks for getting EN World back! Now the rest of us will have to get to work replacing all the lost threads!

Good to have you back!

Wow - that was quite a bit data loss though...
