After a former staff member chose to have a field day merging and deleting threads earlier, we've decided to quickly repair the damage by restoring a backup from April 17th. Any new members who signed up after this date will unfortunately have to re-register, and posts made after this date have also been lost. However, the data loss from restoring this backup is minimal compared to what was deleted earlier today (circa 45,000).

Daily backups are now setup to ensure this does not happen again.

Welcome back.

That's a point. The prediction leagues will all be screwed now.

Erm, I won't be particularly happy if this happens Rammy. Can't see why the loss of two weeks of data should impact the prediction leagues, considering we've been predicting for a whole season now.

Edit - Don't think any data has been lost though as I'm still first in L1 and L2. Was also first in the PL one but I'm in second now but that could only mean I was overtaken as I only got the Spurs result correct today.

The whole database has been reset to 17th April which means the PL is included. I'd suggest that yes, it's a shit situation but it's affected everyone equally so continue as normal.

I think the idiot who caused this should be named and shamed. While I was never in the running to win the NL prediction league run by Vanni, it's frustrating the data in that has gone, along with all the threads as the season draws to a close.

So there is a mod/poster whose name no longer appears when I search for him... Would it be him? Shame if so, had him as a good guy.

What a spiteful little twat. This is the hallmark of a weak character and a life of low achievement. We should feel sorry for him, if we have to feel anything. :cool1:

For me personally it does. I'd closed the gap a little in both the Prem and Championship. Championship I'd just had an amazing week, so could have reflected very well in the table.

Both I would have had a very slim chance of winning. Now I don't, at all.
