Where's my account gone?

I think the subject says it all. :)

It looks like my account has been deleted, which has also removed any topics I posted and broken any topics I posted in (which is, to say, a mild irritation).

Ah, so THAT's what happened to all the good topics... They're not entirely broken, but the post count mismatches because it's removed all your posts, so you have to click a page earlier.

Damned, that's pretty fucked up :?

Well, there were some nice SQL errors yesterday, so I guess something's gone pretty bad with the database... :(

That phpBB still thinks that the topic has a larger number of posts in it than there really are and that when it cross-references the posts table with the users table it returns a smaller number would indicate that the posts are still there, it's just the users table that's having problems. :)

I do not have the server login details, so I'll have to wait for another staff member to turn up. Apologies for any inconvenience!

Any inconvenience?... You gotta be kidding... (It's not that I blame you! I just don't know who to blame...)
All topics where you posted in gone? (or 'hidden' if I understand correctly)... This is so wrong...

I still don't understand of all the people, why you? Or where there more accounts deleted?

kv83 posted in his CuteGod topic (12 dec), so I hope he spots this quickly...

In the meanwhile... Well... We'll survive... I hope...

So what happened anyway?

No idea. I suspect that a database table has been corrupted (or similar), but can't verify anything until I can log onto the server. :(

I'll look into this tommorow. No time now.

I did notice yesterday that maxcoderz was "down for maintenance" could that have been the cause?
