Admins responded. The forum will return!

So, I’m still going through some stuff right now but I came back just to share some good news that all of us, especially me desperately needed.

Team Hostboard has finally responded and yes, the old forum can be restored! It will take time though. This week has been a nightmare for me but at the very least, the forum that I’ve come to use as an escape and comfort for years now is not lost.

Yuri,
Thank you for your efforts, but I approach this news with skepticism. I hope that your life is beginning to level off and that you'll soon be back with us.
Take care,
A.P.

I don't think they can manage that. They can't even whitelist the words cunt / pussy an adult forum. If I understand correctly, the backup will soon no longer be available. Then it's over. It's just good that we have fights.sexy as a backup. This forum here is also endangered because the whole administrative area is broken.

I think we should give it at least until a full month has passed to start getting worried. It might just be wishful thinking on my part but I don’t think that the backups work the way you’re implying they do. The admin said that they have 30 days of backups. I believe that they meant that their backups go back 30 days. Not that they expire in 30 days. Even if that’s not the case, they said that the first thing they would do is make copies of the DB. Other users here have also said that they’ve been archiving stories themselves. Not all hope is lost.

they said that it would be a major pain and take a long time, so all we can do is wait. The admin account has also been more active recently. Anyway, if the forum isn’t back up by May, I’ll just post my stories here like everyone else. Be sure to contact all of your favorite authors and let them know about this forum. I’m not letting our passion die.

There's a 0% chance I'll ever go near Rivals Rapture or any of the other psychos on that site.
