Database rollback resulted in some lost content

Dear DigitalScrapbook.com community:

Our site was targeted by a large bot spam registration attack on April 17. Unfortunately, because of this attack we had to rollback our database and lost about 12 hours of new content. (Anything that was added to the site on April 17 between approximately 3:30 am and 3:30 pm US Pacific time.)

As always, we are so sorry to have lost these items! I know it is never fun to have to re-do past work, but if you have the time and patience please consider re-uploading your wonderful creations so that we can all enjoy them again.

Generally we have to rollback the database less than once a year, but of course no one can predict when the next bot attack will hit, or when a server hard drive might fail. Thank you so much for your patience and support when we run into technical issues like this! This really wasn't how I wanted to spend a good part of Easter Sunday, but such is life. smiley

So sorry to read about the BOT issues. I enjoy this site, and I feel sad that you had to roll the database back over the weekend.
I hope the designers and creators will re-upload their creations. I get so much inspiration looking at their creations

Jordan, you rock! Thanks for all the hard work, overtime on a holiday.
I second what Kelly Wardlow said; you and Marisa are the heart of this community, and we love you!

Oh Jordan. Wow. I have had a couple of pretty bad viruses and one that was fatal - the famous Valentines Virus. No fun. I know you are the bomb and will recover what is possible. We appreciate you. Smiles, Beth
