So, it appears as though the last 28 or so hours worth of posts and actions (including moderator action - such as the closure of this thread) have been wiped from the forum...

I can't find anything that explains why we have had a rollback.

Suffice to say, at present, the staff know about as much as everyone else.. ie.. nothing..

and out of no where the standard member Balerion, tells the moderator what happened...

We had a rollback because there were some severe database errors this morning

How did balerion know about it before the mods found out?
 
There are a few more evidencial items but I am not sure that it would be in the members interests if I posted them....because I happen to like sciforums.com and what is left of the original moderator team and consider it worth the effort.
 
Quantum Quack:

There are clear dates and times on every post.

Your video post is dated (in my time zone) 2 September at around 7 pm.

The database reset covered most of 3 September (again, in my time zone).

In other words, the post you cite as evidence of your silly conspiracy theory was posted prior to the start of the database rollback.

On another topic, did you receive my PM reply to you, or did that also get lost in the rollback?
 
I love rollbacks, like Walmart's. But can we schedule the next one just right after I will get banned again??

The post in the cesspool was was made After I posted the same video and invited you to use that thread for your flaming instead of destroying the "why decline in membership thread. same video used twice with in approx. 5 minutes of each other.
So it definitely fell with in the so called rollback/deletion period.

You're totally confused. Neither of those posts were deleted. They're both still on the site. The latest of the two was time stamped September 2 @ 5:10AM; the first post in this thread post-rollback was made by The Esotericist on September 3 @ 2:18PM, more than 33 hours later. You understand that 24 is less than 33, yes? Then you should have no problem understanding how your posts would not have been included in the rollback.

By reading the same page you pulled my post from, genius.

It looks like they restored the database from a previous version, so all the posts after that were sent to oblivion.

Some kind of rollback took place, as is customary when a database problem occurs.

I mean, it takes an effort to not see this stuff, QQ.

The date stamps aren't missing. They're all at the top of every post.

Did you forget your meds, Q?

well I guess I am wrong then the evidence has just up and uhm... well changed... my apologies Balerion for suggesting that you were able to post with impunity from the rules.
I really should think twice before I launch a campaign under the mistaken impression that your flame, bait and switch tactics were for some unknown reason considered as acceptable.
again I apologise with out reservation...
 
But do tell me... what am I supposed to do with all these email notifications? hmmmmm....

But who locked the thead in the cesspool?
this is a puzzle...mumble grumble.....I wonder if the thead is even there now....

Changed? What the hell are you talking about? The time stamps I spoke of based on my region. I'm sure they read differently on your end, since you're in Australia. But what isn't different is the time between the posts.

And though the sarcastic nature of your apology is about as subtle as a brick to the face, I would prefer you to retract the claim that I was somehow responsible for the rollback. I don't particularly care if you grovel, I just like you to admit when you're wrong.

What notifications? Are you suggesting that the forum should be able to unsend the notifications on posts that have been deleted?

Just use your brain. If I owned this site, would I waste time bitching about people I could just ban?
