Post count and post loss.

Post by Ryoko »

Doesn't look good. And not what you want to hear.

Nope. The admin panel shows all pruners off. I have never enabled pruning on the board.

I pruned screenshots today, but crossover is impossible. They are different tables.

A global mod or admin could do it by hand deleting every thread. Highly doubtfull, no motive, very time consuming and we have trusted mods.

You could speculate a hack, but thats nearly impossible. PHPBB thread stitchings are so intricate, you couldn't cleanly 'delete' threads like that without screwing the entire forum. Threads are associated to posts and posts individually associated with threads, individually associated with authors.

So at this point, Im really not sure. Maybe the board gliched and did prune that section. Can't imagine how, but apparently it has been done.

Looking through backups we have one from end december, the monthly backup. But to 'import' a whole database would mean losing a month of all forum data.

I'll keep looking into a cause.

I understand losing some thousand posts hurts; posts are often looked at a 'social status' or ranking in a community. And the content lost hurts too.
