    Today if you didnt notice there was a period in which the forums were closed for maintenance. It was due to the fact that a forum (Games) was accidentally deleted and so it required a restore from last night's backup. Unfortunately, phpMyAdmin proved to not have the power nor the features necessary to just restore the Games forum and it took finding another tool (which easily handled the load).

    I've restored it since finding this tool and rebuilt forum info. Any posts made after 6am EST in the Games forum will be lost, however I don't think that's really too much of a loss. If you find any problems with it, send me a PM.

    Losing every single last post in that whole forum wouldn't be too much of a loss :)

    Did posts in the games section use to count? I don't think they did or that might have been the Introduction section.

    The posts in the games section used to count before vBulletin but don't anymore. Generally, posts in the intro section counted but there was a short period when they didn't.

    Aye I went to make a Ogame subforum and I'm not quite sure wtf happened. It wound up making 2 games forums, with the ids of 24 and 42. I'm thinking when I went to delete one I had a brain spasm and got dyslexic

    *shrug*

    That forum is mostly worthless anyway, wouldn't of been a loss to loose uncounted posts =P
