let it all out in here. i feel your pain! everything will be okay. :hug::grouphug::first:

yes, it is true - the site crashed and everything was lost AFTER 2004
yes, it is true - if you joined AFTER 2004, you must start over from the beginning
yes, it is true - we lost ALL the GREAT DIYs and Technical Threads
yes, it is true - the green layout is bothersome, but get over it

no, it is not true - you need 200 posts to post a for sale thread, you only need 50

There I feel better.

its easy to make assumptions when the full story isnt known. someone else that doesnt work on this site, not staff, or anyone associated with us, deleted the server. complaining only irritates people - especially when they have been up almost 24 hours to just get the site running. we figured everyone would be happy its at least up and running. but thanks for the words of encouragement! the situation was noted by all involved, and thats the best we can offer you.



Soooooo, lets say there is a back up on the old server... Can we switch back to the other server and use that to get it back up??? Or is it no good anymore???

This is a perfect case study for why periodic offsite server backups are an integral part of maintaining a website (or any computer-based service).

That said, I'm glad to see EPHatch back up. Hopefully over time we can rebuild the knowledge base we had before...

i know it sounds selfish to ask, but it's worth asking, and it wont do much harm.

can members who were eligible to sell in the classifieds before the crash be "grandfathered" in (somehow) without the post minimum?

Ill be the first to tell you im frustrated bc i had some PM's I really needed and all the techno info that was lost. That being said some of the EPhatch members came through and have hopefully put me back in touch of who I need to be.

I think that there needs to be a sticky type note up at that top that states what happened and one that no posts can be added to just so that way nobody has to guess what happens.

I still stick with my points however, just saying that backups need to be done every month or two, that way this doesnt happen.

This site will be awesome again.

Also while it was a pain to have the 200 post count i think it kept alot of scammers out, hopefully something can be figured out on how to grandfather people in. I was just about at that point, however im not asking for the grace period for myself I would rather have to post 200 things again and have a safe classified section for everybody to use with relative confidence..

most of the members feel the same way. i lost PMs that i had since 06, but they are gone and i remember some of the information in there. 50 posts to post in the classifieds, for now.

what about the projected future of ephatch?

The reason why a lot of people joined or perhaps continuted to say on here was the wealth of information for the ep3. Whether it was reseting the SRS light with a paperclip, or looking for torque specs.

Would it be safe to say at this point that ephatch is on the verge of defeat? Or will the faithful members revive this to its former glory?

Since this is the "official thread" to say this, I have looked around the different sections of ephatch and don't know what to say. Super sad, disgusted and a deep feeling of loss has overcome me. I'm not a big "posting" member, but have been around since 05, when I purchased the EP. My thing was to lurk around and grab as much info or ideas that I could. I'm at a loss right now. I don't feel that this site will get back to 50% of what was lost. Most have already left the vehicle for another. I don't think it looks good...but Good Luck for sure. Trust me, I would love to see the site rebuild itself....just moaning I guess. I'm very bitter right now....

there were other contents such as simply replies to questions/posts/threads that were also useful. i would doubt you (or anybody) would have saved those posts/replies/feedbacks to logical questions that were asked.

please define 'gone,' because if it's not posted on the website anymore or saved on people's comps, then where is it?

sure, there are still knowledgeable members here, but they cant recite everything they know unless someone with an issue brings it up.

simply put, your reply/feedback is a little extreme.
