Dear JA606 competition runners,
Bit of a catastrophe. Admin2 has accidentally wiped our database(whilst ironically working on getting nightly backups in place on our new cloud hosts).
This has forced us to restore the database to the last complete backup which was made on 10/09/15. Obviously this has a massive impact in the prediction competitions, so I'm not sure what the best course of action for you guys are?
Just scrubbing off the last week?
Sincere apologies,
Admin1 and Admin2.
To those who run JA606 Predictors <sorry>

"Admin2 has accidentally wiped our database"
So much for the blame-free culture.

How the fark do you delete an entire database by accident?
Surely in 2015 you have security in place to prevent that from happening.
Heck, I can even protect a simple folder on my PC from being deleted.

Have you tried just pressing ctrl-z? That works when I press delete by mistake. Sometimes.
Failing that just turn it off and on again.

Look in your history, Mighty, and see if you can find the link to the page, then copy and paste it into that cache view site. Probably too recent though

ah cheers Chris, but no joy. No problemo, only took 3-4 mins to re-write it, just hope those who posted earlier realise its been lost

Admin my last article was a tribute to RON SPRINGETT who recently passed away. Is it gone forever?
(Sorry for the angry face (that's for Admin2) - I can't stay mad at you )
