Downtime and Missing Giveaway Entries

Ouch. 5000 points down the drain.... Well, that's life, I suppose.

I guess this invalidates the comments to entries ratio as a measure of leachiness.

better than nothing

My page WAS 100% gray... now only 50% maybe less..
Well shit happens.. good luck with recovery.

Cant complain about a small hiccup when site is free anyway. Thanks for the heads up though.

50 giveaways entries away.....gj

The only one here with headaches will be you and Support so no need to apologize to us. Thanks for your hard work.

Shit happens, don't worry it wasn't your fault
Thanks for the amazing site

Thanks for the heads up. :)

In these cases, the following feature would be appreciated by all puzzle lovers:

"Show me all private giveaways in which I have commented"

This way, we wouldn't need to remember and/or re-do all puzzles to get back to the giveaways. (And it's completely fair, because if I've left a comment somewhere, then I've obviously already been there, and the giveaway stays just as private as it was meant to be.)

No problem. Glad to hear you're on it CG.

Good times, thanks for keeping it going.

No problem, shit happens. Thanks for all the work you are putting on the site.

thanks for the update

Thanks for the heads up, I was wondering what happened O.o

It's not just currently entered giveaways, the counter on my profile that tells me how many I've entered has bee reset. Will you be able to get a backup of this and how much data will be missing from it?

no worries

well, nobody should complain, since no one really lost something (the points were free).

do you already know the nature of the data corrution?

errors i know of and which are quite simple to reproduce:

• the 4 billion entries ga

• decreasing the (entries) counter on a ga by 1

of one of the devs wants details i would gladly describe in detail (if not already known), however, i will not give that information away publicly to prevent others from messing around.

i reenter.... so.. i will lose my points?

No problem, stuff like this happens. Thanks for the heads up. :)

Ah so that's why I lost all my entries and had 300 points. Not enough to re-enter all previous giveaways but oh well, shit happens.

You gotta watch out for foreigners. They plant gremlins in the machinery. The same gremlins brought down our planes in the big one: World War II. They're still shipping them over here. They put them in the cars, the TV... They put them in the radios you stick in your ears... They put them in the watches... Little teeny gremlins.

:D

No problem! It's a pity that I have lost my entries on private giveaways, but don't worry, these things happen.

no problem bro ;D

Lost shitloads of my private giveaways entries :/
