Just a little jaded..

Hi there! 🙂

I'm a site owner of a board for the last few years and love very minute of it. In June we did a complete revamp and started from scratch (moreso because of necessity mind you)..

In any case - I'm a 33yo mom, self-employed, Canadian and love to have a bit of fun!

If you'd like to know more, just let me know 😀

btw, I'm Jolene but everyone calls me jojo! 🙂

Hi.

I like your name.

It's unfortunate you had to start from scratch on your board, but I'm glad things seem to be going well with it right now.

Do you live in a city?

I'm sad I had to start from scratch again too but it also gives us a chance to get rid of red x's from dead images, links no longer in use, inactive users I wasn't ready to delete, etc..

Fresh starts and new beginnings! 🙂

I live about 30 mins from the capital of my province.. I live on a military base tho on the largest military training base in the english commonwealth..

Good to hear that having to start from scratch isn't a completely gloomy thing for ya.

Your neighborhood doesn't seem like one too riddled with crime. -🙂-

I'll admit that when the whole incident took place that necessitated it having to be started from scratch, I was beyond furious and even had to leave my house and go for a long drive to cool off! *lol* It took me over 12hrs to start it all over again and bits and pieces here and there over the last 2 months.. I'm content with how it looks now for the most part and I'm happy it's as active as it is 🙂


The town I'm in is virtually crime free - the most we get are vandalism or break & enters.. Nothing major!

 

[Medora]

I would be beyond furious, as well. That's why I back up daily and keep my forum software up to date. As annoying as these practices can be, and as improbable as data loss can be, the probability of data loss is still notable enough to more than warrant the practices.

 

[JadedSouls]

Oh there was a backup but when everything got wiped that day, EVERYTHING got wiped - all the backups and everything. I wouldn't have been so pissed otherwise..

People got to make sure they trust their Admins implicitly, that's for sure!

 

[Medora]

Even the back ups? You save to your hard drive, not your forum directory, right?

One of the things my fellow admins do is also back up the forum. It'd be much more improbable that a back up would not be at hand were a data wipe to befall the forum.

 

[JadedSouls]

Even the back ups but they got wiped off the server as well. A few hundred gigs of files, pics, videos, backups, etc were wiped! 4yrs of saving *lol*

I now do weekly backups and have them saved off the server..

Lesson learned!
