    AS you guys/girls know, UPSB server has been down for a couple of days. (4-5)
    Everything including posts, threads, signatures,feedback etc has been lost.
    This upsb is now running on back up from June.

    I have seen lots of questions asked about what had happed, can we fix it, can we help etc.
    this means we must care a lot about a CYBER penspinning website/blog.
    UPSB has only been down for a couple of days but i have seen people start to painc xD

    Imagine this happened in real life?
    everything that you owned was destoryed and only part of it couild be retrived....
    Yu would have to start over again...

    not really, upsb has been up for just over 2 years
    so from then till june is about 7/8ths of it's total life
    the common demographic for this board is around 16-24
    therefore, its like losing memory of around 2-3 years of your life

    big, but not everything

    also, "HEY, ADMINS! BACK THINGS UP A LITTLE MORE OFTEN!!!"

    and the moral of the story is, back your data up, or you'll get screwed over

    I would have to agree. Backing up would make it easier to recover the data. *HINT HINT*

    I believe you can do localized backups as in download it to someone's pc each month
