Re: SpaceEmpires.net
That's funny. (Not funny like "ha-ha"...) When I go to the page it says "Welcome TurinTurambar" in the upper left, so I guess I joined before your restore point, but when I try to go to my profile or anything it says:
You are trying to access a restricted area.
We are Sorry, but this section of our site is for Registered Users Only.
You can register for free by clicking here, then you can
access this section without restrictions. Thanks.
Seems a bit odd.

Re: SpaceEmpires.net
Yes, all forum Posts seem to have been restored. It is just the poster ids for any user that had registered after Nov 3, 2003 that were lost. The post text was all saved in the database backup.

Re: SpaceEmpires.net
Sounds like you need a better hosting site. One that does more back ups, and can restore them without incident. I am glad to see the site back up.

Re: SpaceEmpires.net
Sounds more like the software used had unforseen bugs... The hosting company restored the files to the new drive on the server a few days ago. The problem was buggy database backup software that for some reason did not back up all of the tables... It happened with my backups and theirs.

Re: SpaceEmpires.net
Ugh, ugh. Even my passwords and stuff had reverted back to old ones... at least the Posts weren't lost though. Will there ever be a way to fix the guest names?

Re: SpaceEmpires.net
Use something like the name of a book you really like. You'll always remember it. For example, my password used to be a 13 letter name of a book that isn't really a word in the english language, but actually a combination of two words. Just try brute force computing to crack that sucker!
