The Clear Message is Suspended (for now)

Postby WinstonSmith » Tue Sep 15, 2009 10:11 pm

Well, as you can see, I lost over 3 months of Clear Messages due to our recent technical difficulties.

I was looking forward to announcing on the one year anniversary of the Clear Message on 12-18-09 that they'd collectively garnered (I estimate) at least 30,000 page views for the Tavern for the year.

I will pick it up again at some point, probably on the first day of one of the upcoming months. Until then, the clear message is temporarily suspended. I will probably add titles to the clear messages in the next go round, rather than just calling each one "MM-DD-YY Clear Message of the Day". I was tempted to start doing that quite a few times.

"The Clear Message" of the day is something that I usually check religiously, so it's a shame that half of it was lost. Hopefully this a lesson to everyone to make regular backups of everything, because shit happens.

Indeed! Winston, you have done a great job. It sucks that so many posts have been lost, but we'll struggle and post on. I've been missing Forces!!

Maybe you can check archive.org for what was there?

It's a shame so much was lost but I'm enjoying reading what's there.
