At the crossroads? Options

There isn't any point in ignoring the catastrophe that deleted 13 months of posts from our little community here. So instead of worrying about getting them back, I'd like to get everyone together to talk about what we should do next. For the most part, I believe that everyone looks to me as the leader here, but that doesn't mean that I own everything and that this forum is special to everyone else too. Please write down and post your thoughts about what happened. No idea or feeling is too small or without meaning. Above all else we need to stick together and the best way to do that would just to let out all of our feelings about this event and try to support each other. If there is anything that should be done to try to improve the feeling of peace and safety here I would like to hear any ideas that you might have.

Erm, as far as I know, no one has ever been held responsible for the Ezboard disaster. My own suspicions have been from the start that Ezboard themselves mishandled their own data and caused the loss through their own incompetence. Their backup system never worked as far as I could tell. A couple of months before that disaster I knew of another Ezboard forum that was hacked when one of their moderators was stupid enough to give out his password. Large parts of that forum got wiped out and Ezboard was not able to fix that mess either. So I was not at all surprised that the Ezpocalypse data loss was permanent. >_>
