Upgrade to latest WP software == no database.
No backup (because I am a moron) == Fresh start
I will be restoring functionality little by little. Reasonable requests for features will be honored.

I’m going to make the first request related to functionality as well. Avatars and images- you can’t make a girl learn how to do something new and then take it away! It’s not just me either….SBH was really starting to have fun 
Comment by Mariposa
December 5, 2006 @ 2:35 pm
P.S.- I don’t know if it was just me or if the upgrade to the new WordPress caused the issue, but I had to re-register for the site in order to be able to logon and post a comment. If any gerbils have trouble logging on, that might be the solution.

Congrats on teh firsties, Mari! Hi, RZ! I had to re-register or I woulda had teh firstie firsts, dangit! Um, yeah. I feel a little bald w/o the pics. Plus I’ve got some good stuff saved up for smokin’ hotness Christmas Fridays.

OK…now the wheel is changing as I leave comments. I think I’ll head to work and see what I find here later in the day.
Comment by Sinner
December 5, 2006 @ 2:37 pm
I don’t think avatars will make a comeback, the bit where it changes all the comments when you change the avatar makes it sort of useless.
Images are enabled, if you use the HTML. I am working on getting the image button back now.

The numbering is cool Sinner. I’ll work on images when I get home (the work netnanny blocks photobucket).

Mistakes happen Sinner. Don’t beat yourself up about it. It took all of 30 seconds to re-register. No big deal.

Hey y’all.
A day of sleep got rid of whatever it was I had. Yay!
I had to register again, too.
I don’t have anything else to say, just wanted to make sure I was logged back in.
See y’all later.

Is it possible to grab some archive material from Google cache (or through WayBack?)
Comment by Mariposa
December 5, 2006 @ 3:09 pm
Hey! I just noticed there’s no “Rant Monkey” on the Blogroll and no “Erudite Eructations” either. I can understand dropping Sinner’s blog (he keeps posting teh Hoff there), but no link to Fatwa?

December 5, 2006 @ 3:32 pm
Howdy, Gerbil Nation!
Got back from my trip last night; without revealing details, all went very well.
Love the comment numbering; will stop back later (after getting caught-up).
Sinner –
Don’t berate yourself; dookie happens. And it’s not like we’re paying you the princely salary you so richly deserve for administering TSW.
FYI – The preview feature doesn’t seem to be working at present under Safari 1.3.2 and OS 10.3. Just sayin’…
Hope ya’ll (sic) have a wonderful day!

More changes, eh? I hope this upgrade came with a new and improved “spam filter”.
What’s the deal with the future time stamp?
Sinner, I dont think its your fault that the archives are gone-I think vile Deb hacked the wheel-it was her last hurrah before going off to the land of obscurity. And fresh starts are good.
As far as reasonable requests go-can you teach my wife how to cook?

Dont like Greenwich Mean Time. Living in California, Im sensitive, and “Mean” sounds, well, mean. Could we go on Swiss Neutered Time, or Valley Stoner Time?

Sven…yes, my site has been re-opened to the public for quite some time now.
Looks like I will refrain from pictures from here on in since it is too much of a pain in the ass to keep “temporarily allowingscripted windows” just to post one.
This is just a drive-by as I came to see what was up and saw I had to re-register.
Comment by Hosedragger
December 5, 2006 @ 5:30 pm
Hope everyone is well.
I am glad there are parts of the site which are lost for ever. the foulness of Deccie’s evil and despicable postings are now gone forever except for the screen captures we all have. I am happy that they are gone and after awhile will not even be able to be seen in a Google search. It is almost as if her words never were on here.
Hopefully the methids of the past several weeks of her not on here and her being gone from the internet will continue and this place never will again have her foulness befoul it’s hallowed pages.
Comment by californican
December 5, 2006 @ 5:32 pm
No kidding Hose!
RL sucked for me this weekend, due to the graphic nature..except for the fact that I got to finally meet my mother-in-law without “the Kernel” dictating everything she said. She is really a sweet little old lady. A whole new life is opening up for her now at 87.
The funeral was kinda rough for all the grandchildren because they had never had to deal with an open casket funeral before but later all of them got to hang out all night at my house. It is so cute seeing them all together because they all look alike, act alike.

My sinii have adjusted, thank jeebus, but the pups are both coming down with teh green rivers of doom. I’m hoping it’s just irritation due to the stoopid fires and ungodly low humidity, but they probably picked up a cold virus somewhere. Yuck! At least the wind in my neck of teh woods has died down. I don’t feel quite so mummified. Glad to hear you’re not going to be roasting your tuckus off. That sounded so sucky yesterday!

Do you even need to ask? I mean come one….the entire reason Sinner dumped the old site was to get rid of teh Hoff. Even Sulla understands that he shouldn’t be brought back. Heck, Sulla hasn’t even earned his spot on the blogroll back yet!
