There, much more easily recognised when your pissed and the world tends to look better that way i've found lately..

looking at those eyes I would say he's got too much blood in his alcohol stream.

I did think that one hour was a bit of an ambitious target for the switchover, even if they've already lost much of the content following the hacking incident. Can anyone remember how many weeks / months we were out of action when the 'Dawes Eaupen' forum broke? (I think that was the one that vanished for weeks)?

An hour isn't optimistic, or at least it should not be. What troubles me is the promise to restore all that lost data. Trying to do that is an astoundingly complex task. Yes, getting the old DB back is easy but to then merge it with the content and users posted since is where it gets messy and where I see them struggling.

I have no idea why they didn't sort it out properly when the hack occurred. If they didn't have a backup then it really is a sorry state of affairs for a big company like that. Would have made a lot more sense to fix the original issue at the time before migrating.

I wonder if we will all be given the apt title of "Senior Member" with the new forum.

Talking of sites that are down, LBWS has been down for days now - www.lbwindsurfing.com/

What, to reflect the forum demographic you mean?
