I am a bit frustrated. In part because of the site, but also in part because of some of the people here. I've been asked about why things look outdated about a billion times (just read people!), I've got Krishnan getting on my nerves with his paranoia about his post count. So yeah, I'm a little frustrated. I'd be a whole lot better though if I didn't have to deal with the stupid stuff around here.  :hammer:

Alright folks, much of the site has been restored to its former state. However, on the video pages there are still many missing videos. The 3000/Jr page is gone entirely, so I'll have to remake that entirely. Also, the rest of the video pages are also missing extensive amounts of content. Most of what's missing appears to have come from TWC Classics, but many videos did not, like those form Mike, TechGuy, etc. If anyone can snag any of the videos that that are missing I would be extremely grateful. Matt, I originally got many of these videos from you. You don't happen to still have any of the stuff that you gave me laying around on your server or elsewhere, do you? Not only have I lost the 3000 videos, but indeed most of what isn't present seems to be the stuff that I got from you.

Additionally, many of the playlists are missing, all the flavor pages are missing, the screenshots are missing, the font packages are missing, the unknown songs are missing, the contact form is missing, the upload form is missing, and the STAR Database is gone.

If anyone can help with the recovery of any of this stuff, I would be extremely grateful.  :sunglasses:

They only helped me recover the pages, not the downloadable content within them. That stuff was stored on the server.

Look, I don't have time to deflect more dumb (for lack of a better word) questions. either you can help or you can't. Please don't question me when I'm reaching out for help. I wouldn't be doing that if I didn't have to.

I'll check tonight. I probably deleted them, though.

I figured that would probably be the case, but thanks for at least looking.  :sunglasses:

Oh Gary! The site looks different? Archived, perhaps?

M'kay, m'kay, I'm kidding. I can read. 

If you want the forum banner, I still have it saved on my computer.
