What happened to the "Tachyon OS furiously fast Forth..." thread too!?

    A couple of notes about the morphing and backups. The restoration process, when turned loose with wild abandon, really crushed the web server. That was causing the slow response times reported yesterday. Plan 'B' was to restore the posts in smaller groups. Web site performance was minimally impacted while achieving the larger goal of restoring posts. You would probably have a vertigo experience if you were actually in the thread as this process was running.

    About backups. Yes, there are backups. But the problem is that the posts are embedded in several database tables with all of the other posts and their metadata. One cannot selectively restore rows of data without a lot of detailed work. If we restore the table, we wipe out anything new that was posted after the backup was created. We would correct one issue and create another one.

    What Bump was able to do was the best of both worlds. Restore the missing posts (warts and all) while retaining all of the new posts.

    Awesome recovery job.

    Seems we still don't know how this happened in the first place. Which is kind of worrying.

    Thanks guys, I wasn't unduly worried as I knew you had to sort it out for Chip's thread anyway :)

    All good now thanks, warts n all.

    Heater: We are confident that we now understand what happened. No need to worry any longer.

    Jim Ewald,

    Cool. Sounds like some good detective works has been going on.

    So what caused the deleted threads? Did it have anything to do with the view count?

    Yeah... was there an actual culprit that snuck this thread length limit in? Or was it just an overlooked parameter?

    Anyone:
    Where is the data that was in that thread?

    EDIT
    Found what looks like the reconstituted thread. Glad that wasn't lost forever. Couldn't find it on the Wayback Machine.

    Are you saying there are broken links in this thread?

    That link points to the end of the thread vs the beginning where the early posts are. That's what threw me off.
