Repercussions for RPGWW
Yeah, it sucked. Temporarily, everything vanished completely. Fortunately, RPGWW posts from 2005 April 22 and backward were able to be restored. Regularly made backup data is a Gold feature, apparently; while backup data was also attacked, there was still something to be restored to us. It was posts between April 22 and May 31 that were lost. Also, our non-gold board, The RP Bootcamp, lost all posts at that time, including a rather groovy RP--and associated OOC thread--by MechanistoX.
The old ADV! ezforum and The Phantom Lord's OT Board were eaten whole.
