forums all broke

someone was vacuuming and hit the switch on the power supply. the power to the server got cycled and a couple tables were corrupted.

i waited a day for someone else to fix it and then decided to try myself. i did manage to fix it, if by "fix it" i mean, "screw up the database and be so incredibly stupid that i didn't back it up first."

the bad news is, the current database is probably gone. the notsobad news is at least i had a 2-month old backup. there is no good news. i'm very sorry

summary of my posts from the last 2 months:
(a) i will put dystopia on the game server as soon as someone helps me run it
(b) don't use itunes. don't buy an ipod.
(c) web RPG's are fun. try one of these:

http://www.lastknights.com/index.php?ac ... ef_id=6847
last knights, medieval world conquest

http://s2.travian.com/
travian, RTS, well done

http://www.barafranca.com/
omerta, 1930's era mafia game

http://www.yourturnmyturn.com
your turn, my turn, play board games online

http://www.urbandead.com/
Urban Dead, zombies and humans trapped in a dying city

i think that covers it. i feel quite rotten and stupid about my screw-up. i sincerely apologize.

It's all right. Tkerz forum needs to be turned back into OI! forum though.
