    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...

    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...

    I haven't looked at my post count yet. Guess I'd better, don't want to jump on some "newbie" that has more posts than me!

    And what about the total site change / crash before that ?

    Im thinking 16,000 posts gone ?
    For a while there I actually had more posts than Pojo.
    Now thats sayin something !

    I remember starting out again at post number "1" at
    the same time this place came back online and I was
    member number 24 to return.

    Meh, shit happens....

    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.
