we just have a bunch of work to do putting things back where they belong one by one, there's only like 78,000 after all.

I tried to rep, but the button is broken. Well played, sir!

It's not broken, it got moved mysteriously!!

Admit it, you're sitting over there falling out of your chair laughing and saying "Thank god it wasn't me!"

On a side note, does this mean we'll now have a PAFOA'ism of "Rotzing" it?

It's my fault. In the course of trying to do some routine maintenance, I failed to double-check all my settings before doing a task that affected literally thousands of threads.

Nothing is deleted, but they have been moved along with threads that I intended to move.

I'm working to undo my tremendous screw-up, so please bear with me.

Oh man! You really rotzed this up!

As a forum Admin, I feel your pain! Good luck with the fix. If it took about 10 seconds to make the mistake figure on about 10 weeks to fix it...lol

Why am I getting the feeling this thread ALONE could become the first nomination for 'thread of the year'?

In the running but we still have 10+ months to go. I'm sure something will turn up sometime.

I once deleted a critical file across all 4 webservers because I forgot that I had all 4 terminal windows sharing the keyboard. Luckily I had a backup.

Honestly, this kind of thing is one of those things where you just have to laugh and shrug it off because there's nothing else you can do. It will just be one more story that makes up the history of PAFOA..."remember that time..."

We got the threads back into an area where discussion can keep going and we just have a bunch of work to do putting things back where they belong one by one, there's only like 78,000 after all.

OH, only 78,000, that should be fixed up by dinner time.
