The table containing all story message  boards crashed. In an effort to repair it I cleared all the data. You will have to recreate any message boards you may have created for your stories.

I was just noticing this.  Ah well, nothing terrbily important contained in that, and if I had to choose what to lose (at least in my stories), that would certainly be it.  Whew!

Thanks for the update, Founder.

Well, it's a good thing I wasn't planning on restarting The Black Heart any time soon!  O_O

Wow, sorry to hear that, Founder.  I don't think I use them much in my other games...could that be why the site was slowing down?

Truthfully I do have recent backups but think the problem was there was corrupt data in the table so I'm not keen on restoring it.

I don't use them at all, really. Could do without them in all honesty. I think they are superfluous when multiple threads are possible. Then again I would think that because I don't USE them.

Never mind...go on about your business. Nothing to see here. Smiley

Oh, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the slow down some members are reporting, we'll see I guess.

Yeah I kinda felt that way which is why I didn't second guess purging the corrupt data.

Really, all I've lost is some background on Middle Earth. 

...honestly, it's nothing I couldn't just write up again straight from memory.  Probably better than before, to boot.  Smiley

Maybe the msg boards are superfluous and are just 'taking up space'... is there a poll function on the front-page?  Hummmmmm...

Yeah, I would use them when I had them -- but after they crashed, I just removed them from my games.

And that's the great thing about the Message Boards. You can use them or remove them as you see fit! I know some games use them quite a bit. Smiley

I stopped using them after the third or fourth time I deleted a board by accident, instead of deleting a POST... because there was (is?) no Confirmation prompt.

You know, I think that's what happened to me. After that I only used them for contact information if that.
