Phantasy Star Cave Message Board

Greetings,<p>The Phantasy Star Cave message boards are back. Here are a couple of answers:<p><b>Why did the PSCave boards crash?</b><p>Well, my server has a space limit, and it was reached without me knowing it. And therefore the board totally crashed. I later found out that my ***@pscave.com mail accounts (which I didn't check for ages) was filled with SPAM e-mails with file attachments.. imagen that.<p><b>What was harmed?</b><p>Almost all the posts were gone, and some of the user accounts.<p><b>What happened to the posts?</b><p>Gladly, I managed to recover all of them besides 5 posts. Though you will notice that they aren't on correct order.. so you might see oldest posts at the front, and newest ones at the end. If you want to find a post, please navigate through the boards and you will find it eventually.<p><b>NOW, what about the user accounts?</b><p>Unfortunately, I couldn't recover all of the damaged accounts. I made a user account backup back in July 2004, and I recovered all of the accounts available there. But since many of the damaged accounts were registered after that date, there was no way I could recover them.<br>Here is the list of the recovered* user accounts:<br>amwhere.user<br>benoit.user<br>butoden.user<br>demonchild.user<br>eintyrion.user<br>etramcgarl.user<br>gm2987.user<br>halikus.user<br>hubbsdoctor.user<br>jherm.user<br>laconianshot.user<br>lordkhyron.user<br>neo48.user<br>psp.user<br>redeemer.user<br>runex.user<br>siren.user<br>tails99.user<br>thepeaguy.user<br><i>* Please note that your password is the same as you had in July 2004. And all your settings are the same as then (and the post counts). Your posts are not gone though. If you do not remember the password you had, then please e-mail me and I'll reset your password.</i><p><b>Which user accounts were not recovered?</b><p>Here is the list of the user accounts that I could not recover:<br>ashitaka.user<br>bcabeza.user<br>coldfury.user<br>coratto16.user<br>coyotex.user<br>danewguy.user<br>darthaux.user<br>del_ian.user<br>dhuval.user<br>elpenor.user<br>forave.user<br>forge.user<br>gipper.user<br>jamesfnquinn.user<br>jonathanf.user<br>kexmex.user<br>mage1.user<br>myaufroto.user<br>sabio.user<br>thepslogo.user<br>thriwrenversion2.user<br>toee.user<br>ultema.user<br>voxie.user<br>I apologies, but since it was out of my hand, there was nothing possible I could do to recover it. Please register a new account. Sorry for any inconvenience.<p><b>What took you so long to get the boards back?</b><p>Are you kidding?<p>Enjoy the new features of the forums.<br>Yours sincerely,

Good to be back ^_^

Hails! Great job Missagh, I'm glad you did well on correcting this problem.

Infernal hails. Thanks for patching up the board nice-like.

New features?! Where where where?! I must know! X_X

I'm back too!

*sigh of relief*<p>My account is still alive.

Gotta love it when something decides to die. <p>Good work on restoring what you could.

Nice one, Missagh.

Thank you for your hard work.<p>I still recommend to delete 0-posters.

I find it somewhat funny that certain individuals couldn't be recovered once they were lost.

I'm here too.<p>But KexMex isn't. He also decided not to re-register. Left the boards for some reason... he might come back, though.

He felt unappreciated, he told me in the chatroom.
