Exhibited Press - Comments

Items were lost again, it seems, so I have immediately closed the site down and spent all day working on this.

The backup system is set to overwrite every day for some stupid reason so I've changed had to go in and change it so it doesn't overwrite anymore. This means there will be no rollback, so don't worry about losing new lab dinos you made or dinos you bred, etc. I won't be rolling back.

This also means I have spent all day staring into the database at 75000+ entries, and trying to figure out how to get what item back to what person.

This is what I've saved:
- Anything equipped to your dinosaurs.
- Anything equipped to enclosures.
- All filters that were attached.

What I've given you automatically:
- A healing pills with 1000 uses. This should keep you going for a while.
- One of every food item (minus rares).

What's happened with the rest:
- All food items (minus rares and the ones I gave you) have been erased.
- All health items (minus rares and the ones I gave you) have been erased.
- All equippables (minus rares and ones equipped to dinos) have been erased.
- All enclosure items (minus rares and ones equipped to enclosures) have been erased.
- All unattached filters have been erased.
- All shopbought plushies have been erased, but everyone has been given an extra $25,000 to compensate for this.
- All nets have been erased. Everyone has been given one pink fishing net (this has 35 uses, so will last for over a month).
- Anyone who donated between August-September over $20 have been given a Candyland background.
- Anyone who donated in October over $20 have been given a replacement Zombie Cookie.

Everything else has been left to a "dream sheet." Basically, this is a list of rare and collectable items that you may or may not have collected/stockpiled. I'm not expecting everyone to completely remember what they had but if you have a rough idea, and maybe perhaps an extra couple that you would have liked just for the inconvenience of this, you can get them granted to your account. I will be reviewing every one submitted so be realistic - if you're a brand new account and requesting one of everything let's just say it's not going to happen. x3

I'm really sorry about all of this and this is completely my fault (regarding the backup etc). I will be up into the late hours tonight checking across logs and double, triple, quadruple checking the coding for anything that could have hinted towards this. I've been told it happened at the exact same time as last time (weird) so it could be a random cron from somewhere.

But as a headsup I have reviewed this many times in the past and gone over it with a fine tooth comb today and I'm still not finding anything that would generate such a... Well, mess.

I am expecting a backlash from this but I'm trying my best to make this as pain free for everyone. I hope you guys can all forgive me (and thank God it didn't affect the dinos!!). <3

As a further apology, I've given everyone one Kitty Icecream, which was the July donation item.

The link to the dream sheet is on your sidebar now. Please try only to submit once and please try to be honest. :)
