Title: Some Omnimaga Files Lost
Post by: Builderboy on February 11, 2011, 12:20:28 pm
Hi everybody, so as some of you may have noticed, Omnimaga was unexpectedly brought offline last night due to an incident that is still being fully discussed in private.  For now, however, we are back online and up and running, thanks to a backup.  However, some of the files that were uploaded in the last few days might have been lost, so if you remember uploading something of importance, or if you joined recently and you find your avatar is missing, you will need to reupload those files.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, more information may surface later, but for now I'm going to keep many of the facts umong the people concerned.  Thanks for your patience, and glad Omnimaga is back up ^^


On a separate note, some of you may have noticed a decrease in my activity on Omnimaga, it's merely because I'm currently carrying 16.5 units and am quite busy at some points.  I'll check up whenever I can, but my activity will be less than continual.

Everything seems fine with a file I uploaded yesterday, so no problem to me :D

On the other hand, I hope nobody lost anything of importance. :s

Like the game? Sorry, had to.

So, yeah, hope this will get resolved soon.

Yeah, I don't know precisely what the scope of the damage is, so people might files here and there.

Any possibility of knowing what happened (even if only by PM)?

I'm really not the one to reveal what happened, as it really didn't involve me.  I'm sure that anybody involved will answer your questions if they choose to.

What are you referring to?

Sorry -- I was wondering about why Omnimaga was brought offline, and to the nature of the 'incident' that caused it.  So I guess my previous post wasn't well worded.

Hmm... at least the damage seems minimal. I wonder what happened? :/ (I have an inkling, but I'm probably wrong)

I understand your educational situation, but you have my wrath to face if you drop Portal X.

Also somebody mentionned that Prizm forum posts were lost, even though the database seemed to remain intact. Did someone just delete his post then the other person did the same to keep the discussion relevant? ???

I did accidently post an incomplete post in the Prizm lib thread about an hour before Omni went down, but I deleted it and reposted once I was done typing. It is currently intact
