Last night, while working on database optimization, I lost about 60 account records. As far as I can tell, the loss was limited to usernames that started with either a number or the letter 'A'.
I apologize for this, I am trying to restore the lost accounts, but it is difficult as I do not know which ones were actually erased. I was comparing backups from different days looking for discrepancies, but this is too time consuming.
If this has affected you or someone you know, get ahold of me immediately and I will try to restore your account. I have restored about a dozen so far. Time is a factor. If you wait too long before contacting me I will not be able to restore your account.
I think I have found a solution to restoring the lost account records. But it is going to put a big strain on the server, and things may be laggy for the next hour.
... Worked before you broke it ...

Gee I'm really glad I chose to go with the end of the alphabet.... If the people who's account was messed up aren't smart enought to get a hold you and go "hey what happend?!" then really... i don't think it's a big loss.
Wicked
(if there account has been lost, then surely they won't be able to get on here and notify Cancer?)

Actually they can, because you can still send him a message if your not logged in. I had problems for a few days where it wasn't letting me log in at all, and i sent him a message and got it all fixed. So yeah you can send him a message. Or at least I was able to.
I've restored all of the lost records.
There were a few things I could not restore: polls voted in (you can just vote again) and messages.
gosh,man,do dislike days and days and
i am sure its going to take a few by the sound of that.i1 note to you,you seem
the sweetest(i am not sucking up either)
I am glad my name is further down the list alphabetically, too. But, may I applaude you for yet another job well done, cancer. ::claps::
