I woke up about 30-minutes ago, and turned on my monitors; I had left my computer on from the night before. I saw that I had a bunch of messages from MSN from Robert_Lake, saying "what happened to the site....all the threads are gone".

Uh-oh.

So I go to MMAForums.net and see a ton of 0's where there should be thousands of posts. What the hell?

My first suspision? Jason.

There are only three people with the access to remove threads: myself, Robert_Lake, and Jason. Could it have been Jason? I understand that he left a little while ago due to some lame forum drama/conflicts, but he was always the nicest guy and did a lot to grow the forum in the beginning.

My suspicious were correct when I checked the moderator logs. Yup, I can track each and every action he made, and it was definitely him who mass-removed thousands of posts and threads.

Normally this would be absolutely devastating, and the forum would have a difficult recovery ahead. Threads and posts from over a year all gone, and who knows what else he messed up; perhaps he banned a ton of people as well.

Fortunately I have your guys' backs. I have a very big backup operation set up, and the database is backed up 24 hours as part of this. So, from the time I found Robert_Lake's MSN messages, I had the forum back up and running with all the would-to-be deleted posts and threads, in about 10-minutes.

So, Jason, why you did this, I will never know. That is about as low as anybody can get, and I'm surprised that you would ever do such a thing. Perhaps you were jealous that we're starting to grow and do well, and have pro fighters such as Jens Pulver come? Who knows. All I know is that you're banned and I hope you can deal better with society in the future other than throwing a tantrum and trying to ruin a community.

To everyone else, the forum's back and is yours to enjoy. Know that I indeed have your back and nobody's going to mess this forum up.

Awesome news man. Glad all is fixed. I reformatted my computer last night and thought that somehow i might have fucked it up.

Jason if you are reading this you are pathetic. Seriously bro, because someone said they dont like the USA is no reason to do that. You're a goof.

Glad you were able to fix it Tyler, Cheers man.

Whew, glad you got serious about backups months ago! Good job.

What Drama?

Man I missed a lot me thinks...

wow, i can't believe jason did that.he seemed to be the nicest guy on the site(by a little).i for 1 am shocked.

[Jamie]

I didn't know Jason had left. It's a shame he was a nice guy with some good insight.

Glad you had the back up's Tyler. Keep up the good work!

[Berzerker]

Can I fight Jason? I will KO him in the name of a shithead thing to do. Talk about juvenile behaviour... Thanks for the effort of keeping us running and the forsight to have backups in place. Although I am new to this board I have found all you guys to be great so far with thoughtfull posts and good attitudes.

Thanks.

Wow, I never spoke to Jason, but he seems like an immature faggot. Or maybe his account got hacked?

Glad the forum is up though! I'll be happy to take his place.
