***The new and improved GIF thread (please read rules in OP ) ***

[Edrof]

The "Moderators note" needs an apostrophe otherwise only the moderators should note those rules, tee hee.

Not suitable.

Wish mods would give a good reason why the old thread was deleted instead of saying don't ask about it.

There is no good reason, it was a monumental fumble.

 

[Uncle Petey]

So is anyone gonna own up to it?

Oooh great...

I'm waiting for the day that a mod accidentally GD.

I have actually had a nightmare about GD getting deleted (not kidding). All the power in my house got cut as I was posting in a thread and then hired killers came crashing through my door, I escaped only to be chased around Sevenoaks by them, but the destruction of GD had killed power across the entire country. I woke up in a cold sweat and had to check GD was still up and running.

How on earth does one accidentally delete a 50+page thread?

Or is it another attempt at "humor" like when some of the forum threads got renamed?

How on earth does one accidentally delete a 50+page thread?

Same way you'd accidently delete any thread really.

 

[Hyburnate]

So are you not going to tell us the culprit because for 1) No moderator would accidently do such a thing and keep hush. 2) vB keeps a nice amount of logs.

 

[DiscoDave]

No backups? What was the mod trying to do instead of deliberately deleting an entire thread?

Colossal mistake by someone who clearly doesn't know what he/she is doing.

 

[PistolPete]

How on earth can it be the "New AND improved GIF threa"

New suggests it's new, nothing came before it
Improved suggests it's an improvement on something before it.

Surely it's the "Newer, Improved GIF thread"

Accidentally deleting a thread is nothing. Try accidentally deleting a table from a mySQL database, one that locked ALL user including admin in doing so*



*in my defence I'd been awake for 34 hours and I was trying to copy it not delete it. I did have the sense to backup the db before I began working on it.
