As you may have noticed, this forum disappeared. This is a combination of me and Proboards - I'll explain.
1. I go into the boards, looking to fix the double Announcements & Feedback forum.
2. There are two copies.
3. I think, "fine, they're mirroring each other".
4. I delete one.
5. It tells me this deleting is permanent and non-recoverable.
6. I think, "could be slightly risky, but no major problems."
7. It deletes both boards.
I've restored the one main important thread from the Google cache/Wayback machine (rules/warning system), and apologise for the loss of the rest. Please repost any really important ones - IE users, you may be able to help by recovering recent threads from your cache (i.e. the one discussing a revamp). Go to C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files on your computer and do a search (Ctrl + F in Windows Explorer) for any phrases you remember using in this thread, e.g. revamp, your username and so on.
Sorry for the inconvenience - while I suppose I knew there was a slight risk, I didn't really expect it to do that. Thanks!

I'd have done the same thing. Don't worry about it. We have our smilies to play with
