Site Rollback Information, please read!

... I say it in the first sentence :/

Yeah, but... what was the error. I'm interested in the specifics. It's not a big deal, don't worry about it. It was just passing curiosity.

Basically, I was merging the 2 CSGO subforums together, then have them redirect to the new csgomaps.net. Somewhere in the process, it thought that I had checked ALL of the subforums (not just 2 of them), and as such, moved all their threads into the CSGO Mapping discussion subforum.

Don't know what happened, all I know is that I was doing something right (according to the instructions I was doing it right) and it came out wrong.

Completely an accident on my end, and as such I'll help clean up the mess the best I can.
In retrospect though, it is kind of funny.

Ah, okay. Thanks for that and thanks for helping to fix it. Kind of crazy that there's no "Are you sure you want to move twenty thousand threads together?" warning popup. I'm glad it was user error though and not like, some horrible bug that can occur when someone deletes a post or whatever.

In my defense, Froz3n is a pikmin.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Me, after realizing what I had done.

I do wish there was a "are you sure you want to move X threads" Prompt

 

[EArkham]

Eh, these things happen. It's no big de-

[*]We will not be able to update your post count nor your thanks/thanked count.

AW HELL NO. Sh*t just got real. I will hate you until the heat death of the universe!!!



No, really, it happens. Not like actual map work was lost or something. Thanks for your continued work at restoring.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

UPDATE: Included in the current loss is member registration. Might be able to get that back.

Thanks for letting us know what happened! Hope restoration goes well, and I hope it won't be too painful also

No idea if you've thought of this, but each thread's record in the DB might give hints as to what subforum they're in?

So I just lost all the thanks I received by posting that layout sketch dong? Damn. I guess I just have to start being helpful or make cool stuff or something. Sigh.

I have a relatively good idea of what goes where based on topics, but we'll just be getting the major stuff back where it belongs. From there, we'll see about doing specifics.

 

[drp]

Everyone who PM'd me about VIP. You should be set.

If you sent me something and i haven't responded. Please do so again.

If you still haven't sent me anything to begin with, please send it!

Thanks again and sorry about this

FYI As punishment we've banned Frozen from the apple pie we keep stocked in the staff area.

We're hoping this'll make him think twice before doing what ever it was he did that made stuff happen how we didn't want it to happen.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Judge reviews coming soonish? I'd like to re-read them and start repairing frostfell.

 

[henke37]

I still think that my solution of automatically moving things back with a SQL query would have been better. A few weeks worth of posts is easily sorted as opposed to everything ever made.

 

[Boylee]

Quick question: How come this thread doesn't appear in the today's posts section? I ask I know a few people didn't spot the announcement.

 

[zpqrei]

I'm just glad I wasn't given this level of power when I was staff. This shit would've happened regularly.

Today after work, i will start setting up a copy of the forum as it existed 2 days ago. Froz3n will start pasting some stuff back.

Do you mean on the front page? Not all forum areas show up there.

Ah. So it sounds like my guess was partially right; the column that holds the "what forum does this thread go in" ID had all of its values set to the same number. I bet that could have been fixed with a little SQL-fu without resorting to rolling back the whole forum, honestly. It would just be a matter of copying the associations from the backup and then moving the leftover threads manually.
