The opinionated ramblings and muses of a weary web victim.
Over 4000 files didn't survive the transfer.....so affected people are being mailed with a list of 'dead files' and have a month to re-upload the affected works and retain comments, etc.....before the database is cleaned of still-dead links.
If you are affected or may be....duck on over and check yer stuff.....just in case...

Too bad about the loss though. Wonder what transpired.

I got the email too, however the last couple of times I travelled to the site, Gator made attempts to infiltrate my fort.

ArtUproar is sending e-mails to the skinners which shows the files being lost with appropriate links. Under the circumstances I think they have done a great job in handling the situation. There was a backup made to help the site changing servers. Unfortunately even backups can fail and this is what happened.
