Looks like getskinned.org is down again!

[Weezle]

Getskinned.org seems to have a slight problem tonight....

quoted from their site at 10:26pm cdt:

".: 10.04.05:. Update: We have lost our member database. It is unrecoverable. We are in talks of what to do at this point, but seeing as our database is gone, all submissions are not linked to any member. It would be nearly impossible to find out which submissions belong to what member. Hopefully in the next few days we can come up with a solution."

Sounds serious this time. Does anyone else keep a backup of all the AB skins?

[SweetLou]

huh? They don't back up their database?

[MysteryFCM]

I believe Sara *may* do. However, as with Lou, I am a little perplexed as to why they didn't backup their database?

[hornakapopolis]

Backup's for squares, dude!

You might want to be a lapdog for the man, but all of us aren't going to get stuck in that trap! You just want us to be just like you!

Well, we wanna dance, and have fun, and hang out with the Joes at the malt shop! You're not going to stop us 'cuz we think for ourselves!

Be quiet now, Bill Haley's on the radio

On a side note...

They're all still there, aren't they, they just don't have the authors. That's not a big deal because I did them all, anyway. Well, I did the good ones, not the bad ones.

We are functional...just lost the db. I thought the host would have a copy, and they didn't. I need all those who have added a skin, to please re-register and post which works are theirs in this thread:

Sorry for the inconvenience.

And what do you mean, again? We haven't been down in a LONG TIME!

[James]

Looks like we're ok. Chris has a backup of the database. We should be back up to normal running standards by this weekend.

[bigC]

So do we still have to reregister, James?

[SweetLou]

Why would you need to register James again? I think things should be fine, but if not, James can register himself. Oh, you meant, "So do we still have to reregister, James?"

[James]

So do we still have to reregister James?

Hehe, no. I think we're going to be able to get all the old user names back in the database.

Oops, forgot the comma

The above skins we need to know who's they are. We also need the author's email address. These are the last 9 avant browser skins we need to associate with. Let me know as soon as you can!

[James]

If you registered after July, you'll need to re-register. If you can't login, then use the password reset feature:

[MysteryFCM]

In received an e-mail a few days ago, asking me to reset my password..... reset it, then got a message that the forums were offline

[James]

Yes, but they are back online now. We just needed to make sure the ID's of the members got straigtened out before we opened the forum back up.

[MysteryFCM]

hehe, figured it was something like that

[James]

So, no one can claim those Avant Skins?

[MysteryFCM]

I'd like to, but I can't ....... lol (didn't create 'em )

[Sara]

Aren't they pretty old ones? Do you have the dates they were uploaded?

Sara

[James]

As you can see these problems are no longer an issue. But, it's been slow to see new skins.
