Backup restoration?
Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:59 pm
For some reason the whole forum was restored to an early state of late 2020. All the messages and users from these last 3-4 months seems to be lost. I don't know why.
This also means that all the work I made removing bots is now lost, and they are back again.
I don't want to do it all again, so I disabled registration and removed all users who never entered the site. But also, unless I found a better way, in 3 days I'll remove ALL users without posts (basically making this forum like a read-only one). If this is too much, at least I know the same backup can be restored again.
So, if you are a user without any post, and you want to keep your account, simply reply to this in order to increase your post counter and don't be deleted.
Sorry, but I think this needs to be done. I'm open to suggestions though.
