Sweet Irony,
One of the webbies at the time thought it would be a good idea to delete 1/3 of the posts to speed up the forum.
Everyone lost posts...
Breasts,

Ahhhh OK....Believe me, Im not losing sleep...just wondering! What dumbfuck webbie had that great idea???
Thanks!! Very kind post there...

DDLR was an awesome host during the meltdown..........
I think someone thought that if the action of deleting, most of the history of the site that it would speed the reuniting of DLR with the Van Halen .
Like a anger management, required class went, all postal.
97% of what was lost was posts like,, so... ahhhhh.. wellllll ....hmmm...dave.....ed.....gror-raybar...hair...new ...!!!..nope ....bcs...all presidents are mr. hilter..baaa baaaa...

Love ya Mary Frances!
VH Links and DDLR both had huge post losses at different times as well. It's probably not unconnected to the fact that the fan sites lose money so you are inclined to choose the cheapest host possible.
Fingers crossed but hopefully with disk space being so much cheaper these days backups are probably being done better at all the sites now.
