The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: TSR: In Ur Accounts, Deletin Ur Stuffs!

And the timings are way off. Why choose *now* to do this attack if you've had the logins for *months*? It doesn't make any sense. The timings are way off, and are very suspicious.
*delurks* In my honest opinion, so everyone would forget about the "security breeches" and they'd be able to use that as their safety net down pat. This whole thing seems played out even since the so called account hackings a few months back. |

(Thinking before I post, here goes:) If I'm bugging you, sorry. I've been following this drama non-stop since the second it happened and I'm on edge. I'm rooting for everything to work out fine. Trying to do what I can. I didn't have any stake in this when it started, but since I stupidly took it upon my self to start telling people what's up and visiting other forums to spread the news, I feel like I have a stake in this too. So, really, when did I display that'sky is falling' mentality? I didn't mean to. Don't insinuate I'm trying to kick up a stink. I'm nervous. Hoping everything goes right, just like everyone else. Who am I bugging? Raise your hands. I'll piss off by popular vote  No, actually, I think you've been a great help, so my hand is down on this. I was just thinking about the potential mass panic if one of the safe havens we have left suddenly goes off-line for even a minute. Besides, it's back up already, so no worries.  And concerning Walt... doesn't he realize there's more outside of the internet than just the state of Virginia? Why is he even suggesting we register as a non-profit organization "with the state" when clearly this is an international community we're talking about, and whoever plans on taking over may not even be within the states?

Burn? Do not want!!  I'd rather have everyone that hasn't already be able to get what they need off of there. Sometimes you can't rely on everyone to have a full back-up, so one has to be sure they have backups of their own stuff. There's still people needing to get their files off of there. Plus, I'd rather have no part in something that is potentially illegal. As much as I dislike Walt, I don't condone that option. |

Personally, I wouldn't mind the switch from vB to SMF at all. I've gotten used to this forum format over the past few months, and it's more versatile than vB in my honest opinion. And either way, whichever works for the best and is safer is fine by me, I don't care. I just want to be in places that are Walt-Free now.
(Besides, I wouldn't be able to tell you technical stuff about either if my life depended on it... in the short time I've been a part of InSIM's staff and over at the Oasis, I don't know any more about it than the basic moderation options and what little I've learned from being online.)

The threads themselves may be able to be brought back, but how about those deleted attachments for them also? When I checked GP's section for myself before Friday evening's meltdown, all the attachments in the section were "awol", guest recolors and all. Are those also restoreable, or are they pretty much moot since the "deletion"? For the non-Sims site I work on, there is an option for mods and up to remove attachments when deleting posts. Not sure if they use it, but I have never had a problem restoring attachments when necessary. Besides, at worst you go back to the last database or server backup. Items can still be deleted in protest and a fuss made if they are restored without permission, but for the time being, deleting anything just increases the number of people who see the rug pulled out from under them. Actually, all information available suggests that there IS no backup, at least not one that is COMPLETE in any way, and if the site is incinerated by, say, someone deleting all the attachments, or Liegenschonheit removing a few DB tables, Hasta la Vista, Baby.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.  |

Deleting just slows the servers. Unless someone has been given the option to "physically remove" threads, everything is just two clicks from restoration. There's a deleted posts queue, so finding and restoring threads takes all of a few seconds. Even posts that were edited before deletion can generally be restored without bothering with database backups. So, under current circumstances, deleting threads is definitely counter-productive.

It's not helping matters if we have to keep waiting for the crap-shooting server to get rebooted...) |

To Pescado: Baaaaaaah!
I was pretty sure it was Walt had decided to pull the servers... but glad to see everything's being backed up. I'm full of phail and forgot to get other things I needed backups of off of there last night.

Sickening...  Part of me is really hoping that those recent tales weren't true, for "Annie's" sake. Jealousy is a truly evil emotion, and heaven forbid what "Anette" would do next just to get her way. Scary stuff, that is. |

Light_Angel, saying you wish EA would have done something to make our lives easier is like asking for a miracle to occur. It just won't happen at all. I know, right? EA doesn't want our moniez bad enough for our input for making the game even cooler, yet they're willing to milk the franchise for every single penny they can while destroying slowly it in the process with some of their new "innovations". (in-game ads for the upcoming Sims 3 is not very attractive to me. Neither is the one neighborhood deal, limited installations, SecuRom, etc.)When it comes to Sims 3, I'm not impressed by the graphics at all... and I'm really hoping there's a way to hack the heck out of those genetics if I ever change my mind and decide to get it. The eyes on the new sims just freak me out for some reason. |

I am amazed and astounded by the fact that Peggy's latest masterpiece got such a chilly reception. I find it fantastic myself. I have put it in my game and played with it for many days at a time.
Figured it'd be a matter of time before this happens again since Peggy hasn't been the "hot topic" of discussion in a while.  Anyways, back to derailed topic, I'm starting to become a big fan of repository objects myself. Wish EA had done that method from the beginning, because it would sure be a space saver and a decorative plus on my end. |

... There were no content uploads earlier yesterday. Just the screenshots of the grass and pictures of herself. If she were so miffed at them or banned, then why the heck does she suddenly have custom content uploaded now? And why the sudden name change from Seraphina to Syndica in her last post?
hi all,
I hope syndica get's her money back, she's pretty upset by this ordeal. I don't know if they kept her content or not.
*snip*
thanks guys.
Syndica
I'm not one that likes to jump the gun, but it really doesn't add up. Anyone else feeling a little "played" by this whole thing?  |
