Ouch!

Well, we think you guys have a right to know what is happening. The corruption lies in the users table, we are going to lose some users. We will not know how many until we do a test run, which should be very soon. The test run will be done in our dev environment. This issue could not be helped, it was just a result of a failing database server. - Zuni

Wanna start a pot on who gets nuked?

:D

[EDIT]And yes, this is a blatant attempt to create public panic, kinda like yelling "GUN!" at GW's inauguration.[/EDIT]

Czar...

No, they're not picking who goes & who doesn't. I think it depends on who's unlucky enough to have a corrupted entry in the user table.

But...

If the entry is corrupt, wouldn't those people's accounts already be hosed? So maybe people that can still function just fine will be OK?

:confused:

Damn that's harsh! I wonder if this could be avoided by delting a bunch of current members? I.e. those who haven't posted for ages or something...?

This is quite scary. I've been a member for almost exactly a year now - I'd be gutted if I was deleted because of a server glitch! :p
