PREPARING FOR IJ'S (HOPEFUL) RETURN

[goosemods]

Alright, everyone, with the (hopeful) return of IJ on the horizon, here are a few announcements:

• This fresh OOC post is dedicated to Cameron.


• Tomorrow, regardless of whether or not the site is up, we will be posting a list of the major events and IC/OOCs that are scheduled in March.
  • If we do get IJ back, we'll be posting the plot calendar at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning. This will save poor Marin from staying up until 3 AM formatting it.
• Regarding the IC explanation for the downtime: With the Grotto party having taken place tonight (3/3/17) with characters referencing no access to the journal network, if the network comes up tonight treat it as though characters woke up on Saturday morning with functional journals.


• If IJ does not come back tonight, we might be looking at an IJ-less weekend. The Quidditch game post will be posted here on DW on Sunday, and Saturday we might cave and make a Veritaserum meme.


• Let us know if you have any questions!


• Veritaserum Meme!

Re: cries

FUCK

WHY DIDN'T I BACK UP

i am so angry with myself rn

Re: cries

[threatens]

this is so vaguely worded it's like... i think it means so long as your account existed before 2/13 then your stuff is still there but.... what????? what

wat

Re: cries

[kasnotkas]

i think it's anything up to 2/13 so if you made a journal before, everything you did up to 2/13 is saved EXCEPT if it was comments/etc on a post-2/13 journal because everything made after 2/13 was lost?
idk if i'm making sense

Re: cries

[threatens]

2) If your account already existed, all of your posts and comments are safe (unless they were commented on a newer account)

like what is "all" in this context? because i feel like the implication is that, so long as the accounts/comms existed before 2/13, then "all" your posts and comments which were posted when the site went down is "safe"

but i am NOT SURE

OK WE'RE PROBABLY FINE thank you jj

Re: cries

[juliajoy]

He said before that the posts were fine and the data that was missing was the username and account status stuff so I think we're okay

Re: cries

[threatens]

OKAY YES that's what i thought, we're fine then :|a

.........did anyone get accepted after 2/13

when did cameron make mercedes lol

Re: cries

[sparklecharm]

That is super vague and I'm super confused. :( But I guess we'll see how it works out.

Aaaand joining Kas to say that the fact that you back things up at all is amazing. ♥ SO THANK YOU.

Re: cries

[kasnotkas]

Re: cries

[threatens]

YOU GUYS ARE SWEET THANK YOUUUU ♥

i'm going to try to be more organized about the backups lol in case one of these days we really do have to move to DW sigh

Re: cries

[bambae]

Is this just a lesson on why you should back up everyday?

I feel like this has just been a massive lesson

On why we should stop relying on teenage angst for entertainment at work lmao

Re: cries

[greatdayforup]

but my job IS dealing with teenage angst?

Re: cries

[bambae]

Okay you get a pass

The rest of us tho

The rest of us have to learn this lesson

Re: cries

[kasnotkas]

Re: cries

It makes me want to cook up a reason for Jesse to be consistently wearing overalls IC

He's so terrible. I love him

Re: cries

[juliajoy]

If owned overalls I'd wear them all the time so

MOD NOTE

[threatens]

fglk jbbdh;lksjd;fklbsj;lfkg

Re: cries

[knightly]

no, our posts and comments are still safe! if i'm reading this right anyway, but everything posted before the outage should still be restored, it's just accounts/comms which were created after the 13th which are lost
