I'm enjoying this thread. It's name changes about as often as Ruatha's strategy in Newbie Gold 1.
BTW, I was laid off on Tuesday December 3 and accepted a new job on Friday, December 13. I start tomorrow. That has to be a new record for shortest period of unemployment....Greybeard |

Re: 320.2! 301.5, 311.3, 65.4
I have seen VGA Planets but never played it myself. When I was in university, I noticed that a lot of fellow students were completely addicted to the game, and were playing it day and night. I have been addicted to different games from time to time, and it usually had a detrimental effect on my grades because I spent all my time playing and not enough studying. So I managed to avoid playing it, and avert the addiction (it took some willpower).
Never heard of Winplan or Planets. |

Huh? What's going on? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif We used to have WAY more Posts than this! Now we are way behind the Babylon 5 thread...
Wait, this sort of thing happened a couple of times before, but nobody solved the mystery. A few months ago, there was a thread called "unsolved mysteries of the universe" or something like that, and we suddenly lost many pages of Posts. It happened again on another thread a bit later, I think it was another topic on Iraq or politics or something. Many Posts mysteriously disappeared. There must be some problem with the message board system. Or maybe it's a hacker attack? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif |

Keep a close eye on the B5 Mod thread. Maybe there's a certain number of Posts after which the first 2000 or so get "filed away"...
|
Re: 320.2! 301.5, 311.3, 65.4
If the Posts are filed away, maybe they can be recovered somehow? But the other times that Posts have disappeared, the threads were not this big. Is the data backed up at all?
Even though all those Posts that disappeared contained nonsense, there were quite a lot of funny and entertaining stuff, it would be sad if it were gone permanently. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif |

"Keep a close eye on the B5 Mod thread. Maybe there's a certain number of Posts after which the first 2000 or so get "filed away"..."
In this case it wasn't the first set that got nuked. This has happened before, and thread length didn't seem to effect it then.. |

 Wanted - Dead or Eaten Alive: The Post Thief. 
It has been noted by this reporter that the dreaded Post Thief has managed to make off with THOUSANDS of Posts from this the Ever-living Name Changing Thread. While there is currently no reliable description of the culprit, the Posts stolen can be identified by their utter uselessness. Anyone finding such Posts should run away screaming and report the sighting. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD THESE POSTS BE READ! Insanity or even permanent brain damage may result.  We now return you to your regularly scheduled nonsense.  ------------------------------------------------- [ July 07, 2003, 17:06: Message edited by: Taz-in-Space ] |

Re: 320.2! 301.5, 311.3, 65.4
[puts on Sherlock Holmes cap and lights up Cavendish pipe]
Let's take this one step at a time. A crime has been committed (theft of Posts). Culprits must be identified. The three major criteria for culprits are... - means - motive - opportunity I think we can conflate means and opportunity here. Only a moderator/sys-admin could pull a stunt like this. That narrows the list down to... (Moderated by: geoschmo, Mephisto, Suicide Junkie, Atrocities) (copied from top of Forums hub page) [pauses to puff on pipe] So, which of these four scurvy dogs had the motive to perpetrate this crime? Any ideas? [ July 07, 2003, 20:10: Message edited by: General Woundwort ] |
Re: 320.2! 301.5, 311.3, 65.4
There are also the admins, and software gremlins that could be at fault.

Re: 320.2! 301.5, 311.3, 65.4
Quote:
Indeed. But, regarding the admins, we must also ascertain motive. Why would they steal our Posts? Why this thread, and not another? And why no prior announcement? And as for gremlins... well, I am no programmer, but the hit on this thread appears to this old bunny to be a bit non-random. Why just one thread? This thread, for example? Further, why would Posts just disappear, rather than the whole thread being corrupted? Barring further evidence (reports of prior incidents of such gremlins), I must default back to purposeful human action behind this theft.

Possible motives :
- Free time in excess. - Yet another bad day. - Revenge. - Online arguments with people who post here frequently. - No taste for nonsense. Hmmm... does that point out a suspect ? http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies...s/azzangel.gif |

Re: 320.2! 301.5, 311.3, 65.4
[pauses to relight pipe]
Remain calm! Let's take this step by step. To review, there are three possibilities here. 1) An "inside job" by one of the Moderators/sysadmins 2) An outside "hack" by a third party 3) A "bug" As you all are aware, I am inclined to think that 1) is the probable solution. The evidence (disappearance of Posts in this thread only) does not appear to me to indicate a random bug in the system. An outside hack 2) is a possibility - and given the success vis a vis MOO3 that SEIV has enjoyed, we have a clear motive. But I am not inclined to believe that this is the case, as a "hack" job by a disgruntled MOO-ite would have, I believe, most likely targeted a more game-oriented thread - the Newbie FAQ for example. So, we have the crime, and we have a finite and identifiable circle of suspects. We must now be about the task of narrowing that list down, until we find our nefarious culprit. [puff, puff] |
