OT: New OT Bread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
  • Live threads are back for GDTs, if your thread isn't live report it and a mod will turn it up.
Well, that "blackout" was interesting. With some topics it feels like I have stepped into a time machine, traveling way way back to 2024. I hope that this never happens again, but it again proves that relying upon technology is an uncertain thing.
 
I had repurchased the yearly sponsor subscription, but now it says expired, even though it’s been about 2 months. Hopefully that’s something that gets fixed with files being recovered.

I'm in the same spot. i'm sure they will be able to recover that. Afterall, there is a financial paper trail.

One of the admins on Discord said all member data after March 2024 has been lost, including message count, likes, infractions, sponsorships etc.

He said you'll have to contact them later if you want your sponsor subscription back. But not now, since they are busy with all the site issues. I can see others have just purchased a new one, saying you can't even get a pizza for 12 bucks 😁
 
So they basically rolled out a backup from March 2024. It messed up the sticky threads, would be nice if mods can move the 2024-2025 threads up there and get rid of the old 23-24 ones...if their tools work.

True, but you can get 8 hot dogs and 8 sodas from Costco for that. ;)
 
DARKNESS!!!!

Some of the buttons are also dark though so hard to navigate through some things but at least I'm not getting my retinas seared.

To be fair, in light mode, those same button writings were also invisible until you hovered your cursor over them. Thank goodness the Darkness is back. Makes ya wanna belt out your falsetto to, "I believe in this called love."
 
Meh, dark mode staying unusable after a hfboards update actually gives me comfort. There are still things that stay constant in this world. Please never fix this. This is my anchor in life.

Anyone still trying to get their yearly sponsor back can just dm a picture of your PayPal receipt to SniperHF and they’ll give you your year

I'm honestly just considering re-upping at this point. Not sure it's worth the time and effort to dig through CC statements to find the confirmation, especially since I don't have it noted anywhere as to when I upped.
