[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 443934, member: 5079"] I wasn't active at the time of the crash, having left a few months earlier. I heard about it only second hand from another member; she was rather miffed at seeing years of posting history wiped out and I think she never returned. Without the crash, though, I wouldn't have returned. I had left quite definitively -- having changed my email and password and then deleting the email account, making recovery impossible. (A tad dramatic). The crash allowed me to eventually register the same user name and email I had previously used. Well, since you brought it up -- has there ever been an official explanation? I've heard only fragments of rumors. An entire forum being wiped out with no backup seems ... improbable. But perhaps it's just the nature of a forum about soaps that I hope there's melodramatic malice behind it all rather than a boring technical glitch. [/QUOTE]
