Ltvscout-
While what your WEBHOST did really stinks and is unforgivable (I would be mega pissed too), it is not of your doing !
You provide an invaluable service to us BARs by maintaining such a great site.
Thanks for all you do for the vintage rocket community.
A little hiccup such as this is a minor inconvenience to us.
That said, if I was paying the bill to a webhost and they made an unauthorized action that resulted in data loss, I would be "lighting some butts UP" !

I'll second that comment. It will help us better appreciate all the many, many years of service Scott has provided through this forum and other site resources with hardly ever a hiccup.

But I do see my post on the free Enerjet kits was another victim of the lost posts. And I was so hoping that at least a few forum members could partake of that before the neighborhood kids claimed all the kits earlier this afteroon.

Alas, maybe next time.... ;) :chuckle:

Wait, what?!? Crap!

Still working on getting the encryption going so you get an https connection, but everything else appears to be "fixed." Sorry, last two days posts are gone... You'll want to clear your browser cache if you want to access via forums.rocketshoppe.com vs www.oldrocketforum.com

You're now clear to post away on the site. Again, sorry about this.

Damm1t, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a post recoverer!

I'm having dejavu as I see "new" posts pop up that I feel I've already read. I promise I haven't been sniffing airplane dope! :eek: :D

I get the impression these days that more and more system administrator types can set up the latest app's on the most bleeding edge servers, but can't handle a full save or a daily incremental.

They must have skipped the blocking and tackling courses.

Yeah, I saw that too, but I *think* (and hope) they are posts that folks have identified as 'lost' in this recent event and are re-creating and reposting their earlier messages.

I've got one or two that I will attempt to repost myself, probably tomorrow.
