Hello everyone,

I wanted to provide an update regarding the recent hard drive failure that affected attachments across various threads. When this issue first occurred, we were looking at a potential 100% data loss, which would have been devastating. However, after weeks of recovery efforts, I’m happy to share that we were able to successfully restore 99.66% of the files!

Out of 2.9 million attachments, only 10,000 files (0.34%) were unrecoverable. While we regret that some files could not be saved, this is an incredible outcome compared to the total loss we initially feared. Additionally, we are going to see if we can recover additional attachments over the next few days.

If you notice that certain attachments are still missing, please let us know, and I'll do my best to assist. Additionally, I have restored a backup that includes attachments for most of the older threads, including most BOTB threads, which should help bring back a significant amount of lost content.

Moving forward, we are implementing backup systems to prevent something like this from happening again. This situation has been a learning experience, and we are taking the necessary steps to ensure data integrity and security in the future.

I appreciate everyone’s patience during this process.

We’ll be performing system migrations and maintenance over the next few days. You may experience brief downtimes or slower performance. No need to panic, everything’s under control and will be back to normal soon.

Hello all,

Today, we are introducing verification badges after being in testing for more than a month now. I believe this verification system will bring value to the community, as it will allow members to better identify staff members and other important members of the community much more easily. Below are the following ranks:

Staff verification badges:
Administrator - This means that the user is an administrator, signified by the black verification tick.
Moderator - This means that the user is a moderator, signified by the purple verification tick.
Member verification badges:
Verified - To qualify for verification with the light blue checkmark, you need a minimum following of 2,500 on any major social media or video platform, must verify your identity with proof of meeting these requirements, and your account must be in good standing. You can apply here.
Contributor - This means that you have contributed a great deal of knowledge to the community, signified by a dark blue checkmark and Lifetime VIP status for as long as you hold the contributor title. Any member that has been here for 6 months are eligible to apply for this. You can apply here. Note: if your application is denied, you are unable to reapply for 2 weeks.
Sponsor - This is someone that is an Ad Partner or has contributed lots of money to the forum. Pink checkmark.
Other badges:
Lifetime VIP - All lifetime VIPs will receive a dollar sign signifying that they have donated to the forum. You can always have this removed by contacting me directly, and you can be excluded from it.
Unmonitored Account - This is self-explanatory, these are accounts controlled by the forum staff but are unmonitored.
There will likely be more badges introduced as time goes on, but these are the ones that we are starting off with right now.

Thank you,
Master
