dear ytmnd friends,
I accidently deleted a few hundred thousand users and around 400,000 sites. I had to restore from a backup which means we lost about 18 hours of YTMND time. Around 1000 ytmnds were never made, tens of thousands of votes were never made, and thousands of comments were never made.
you can thank syncan and adverb for all of this. also grey goose.
woops.

This wasn't anyone else's fault but the devil's, curse his red hide. It is only peripherally about Syncan (who may have been psychically distracting Max), Grey Goose (a premium brand of vodka which he may have been enjoying) and Adverb (a f*cknut). Max was looking up one of Adverb's sites, and accidentally deleted all of them. He then restored Adverb's sites and walked away from the computer for half an hour. When he was alerted to the problem, Max realized that he had, in fact deleted ALL YTMND sites EXCEPT for Adverb's. After a brief Irish wake on Ventrilo, Max did a roll-back restore. All of us with sites on the Top 15 for the day lost our sites and our places, and the devil smiled a little more brightly - for one brief moment, his meat puppet Adverb was the ONLY YTMND'er. ... No, okay, it wasn't Satan, but seriously - even inkdrinker and tehpwner2 are decent guys but Adverb has no friends. Max's only mistake was undeleting him.
Like everyone else around here it seems, my resubmitted YTMND isn't faring as well the second time. It was youknowthatilovecake.ytmnd.com. Really, I was so surprised the URL wasn't already taken the first time, I'm just glad I got it the second time as well. If anyone wants to drop by, I do give thank-you 5's.
if it was accidental than y was "be cool about fire saftey" posted on the front page?!! and after the the sites were deleted, why were new sites being hacked???!(ex i reposted n*gg* stole my ocarina and i little bit latter it had a new image of a viking ,and new sound of some bathtub thing)and why did it say " no joke ytmnd is dead" a litTle later. how in the hell is all this anaccident!!??its kidna suspicius..........
For everyone who didn't have a chance to say goodbye:
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
