Well, as you can see our website and forums are back up and running, but the problem is that because we had not made a backup anytime recently, everything is back to how it was around the release of the BETA. That means you will likely have to re-register, and we have some updating to do to forums again. We are very sorry for this inconvenience, and hopefully it won't happen again.
If you have any questions or problems, feel free to contact me or any one of the adminstrators, and we'll try and sort everything out for you.
Good day,
Sean "Baron" Stock

This is like all of those video games where they go back in time.
What exactly happened?
-
Hello 2006
-
They don'y know.( they said that earlier, just incase you missed it) :D
-
Rewiiiiind
-
Beats the Fightin' 404's.

OH MY GOD THE FORUM FOUND MY TIME MACHINE :'(
-
( they said that earlier, just incase you missed it)
Baron mentioned that we are traveling along the eerie canal, but he made no mention of how we ended up here to begin with.
Edit: I vote that you just prune all of the public forum sections.
-
Yeh it must be a lot of info to backup lol.
-
Lookin good
-
Whoa. I remember those topics.
I second Polezi's vote to prune.
-
The future was overrated anyways.
-
And, what the beta testers are going to do? :(

I'm sure they'll have us back up and running in a day or two

Remix!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ;)
-
Oh noes! My bedtime stories blog is teh toast.
-
Yeah, so are all the weekly update posts. Grrr. And of course, because moddb.com doesn't allow long posts, they don't have the full updates that I posted, so they are pretty much useless. Guess I better start saving backups of my update posts ;)
-
Hmm... I'm pretty sure I made backups of my bedtime stories, but no need to taint this board with my filth again.

Yeah, it sounded as though you'd done enough taint spreading.

There are a couple saved on the GE:S Facebook discussion section. GES Weekly Update 4/29/2007 and GES Weekly Update 5/9/2007.
-
Can you give me the text for them, so I can post them again?
-
lol @ GE:S facebook group

without wanting to sound horrible,..but isnt making regular if not daily or weekly backups of a system / game/ apps/ data, in ''HOW TO LOOK AFTER COMPUTERS 101''?
-
Well its a bit hard when only one person had access to the server (i.e. Cloppy and he wasnt active since December). We should be making regular back ups now.
-
Oh well we have backups of the game and all our assets, it just never crossed our minds to backup the forums. No worries though, I will be doing regular backups from now on.

That couldnt be more wrong, you sean and spider could all do admin accessible data backups...but ok ;)
-
Wake i tried about 3 weeks back. It didnt work.
-
Yeeeah. You guys should probably try that "backing stuff up" thing some time. It really does wonders!
-
We focus on the mod so much we don't think about the forums or website.

Thank you. Allthough most of what was important was in the dev forums, and that site doesnt cache that area.

There's actually so much focus on the mod that we don't think about philosophy either.

damn, that sucks :(

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they like Blade Runner.
-
What about the other 5 beta testers (http://forums.goldeneyesource.com/index.php?action=mlist;sort=ID_GROUP;desc;start=30) that have not re-register? What will happen to them?
-
I supposed this means the mod is dead.... especially since about 7 team members have left in the last 2 months. I think you guys should just get a quick mini-patch out to fix the hit registration while you still have people playing the game.
-

They have?
-
Yeah the mods dead. We just use the dev forum for trading pictures of Kittens and web cam based group wanking.
-

I must have missed something :D
-
I can see how people would think that though. Not like we've been the most news-active mod team evar
-
Which seven devs left again? I love it when public dictate how the devs are going. :P
-
The adolescent know-it-alls of our internal affairs.
-
Okay. I'll list them according to their AIM Screen Name's which are the aliases I know them by: kevinmckanna, locenzo, parkerboundy, WakeoftheBunt007 are 4 of them. I forgot the other 3 because I was on vacation from June 6-July 7 (got back two days ago) when I remember I'll post them.
-
Well maybe they have just blocked you. Cause atm i find you quite annoying.
Unless we say so they are still on the dev team (except wake who was a qa not a dev who left). Have a look at the GES Team link above in the menu

First, you deserve rep for the first sentence, and second, we (non-team members) can't view the GES team because we're not allowed.
-
Ok. I did not know that (some one should of said something cause it is point less to have a link for you guys). :D
Ill fix it asap
Edit: Should be fixed now can some one let me know please. And you can add rep if you have 100+ post.
-
yes it works. that's actually a really cool idea, that link. and i had 118 posts, woo! :D
-
Well thats good. :D
-
No they didn't "just block me", I still talk to them on AIM. They told me that they quit the team, I wouldn't just say it without a reason.
-
Still doesnt mean you can start making bold statements on behave of the GES Dev team. Aim names mean nothing to me as well. I know for sure wake and cloppy but that is all atm.
We have had a couple of major upsets recently but work is starting to happen again.
Edit: just did a reverse lookup on the data base, only 2 of them are devs. LOL
-
whotf are kevinmckanna and parkerboundy ?
-
The majority of those that you listed have been inactive for the longest time, and were removed from the team (put on the inactive list).
And no, the mod is not dead. Just because we don't make media releases or updates, doesn't mean we aren't working behind doors.
-
we're like the wizard of oz like that

holy crap i must have missed the memo thanks for the heads up i guess i can get back to doing non GES stuff again.
my last check... we havent lost any devlopers of the mod, though we have lost 2 teamates. wake who was sort of our go to guy to help us with tasks and orginazation and testing, and clopy who was our dude who paid the bills for the site... thatsa bout it over the past couple months last i checked. other team mates that got taken down were people who have been inactive for months which might be more what your talking about i supose im not sure. also some of hte people you mentioned who you were talking to on aim and caliming to be devs... arent on my aim list haha and i think i have the most up to date and complete aim list for the team.
