Announcement: I'm an idiot and I'm sorry.

[Mary]

While in the process of moving all the concert review threads over to this new sub-board I accidently deleted a few. I feel absolutely terrible about it. I now have the power to checkmark a 'batch' of threads and move them at once, if I prefer. It saves time rather than moving them one at a time. I had 4 threads checkmarked and I accidentally hit the 'remove thread' button for them instead of the 'move thread' button to move them.
I AM SO SO SORRY!

I thought we used to get some kind of 'are you sure you want to delete these threads?' prompt before deleting... had I seen that I definitely would have caught the error and UNchecked the threads and prevented the deletion from happening. But there was no such prompt. Just yesterday I was telling the other moderators to be careful of making such aa mistake because I noticed we don't get the prompt anymore. Then I went and made the mistake myself. I feel like such an idiot.

I've gone over to the proboards support forum and asked if there is ANY way I can somehow retrieve the threads and I was told by a moderator NO. Not possible.

I AM SO SO SORRY!

I'm sure 2 of the 4 threads belong to raisangrrl (the NYC review thread) and elizabeth (the Philly thread). I'm not sure about the other 2 (I don't have a way to look up the threads specifically or see what I deleted' my security log only tells me '4 threads deleted'). But I'm suspecting they were reviews for maybe Boston or Detroit? (Lau, I'm sure you had a review thread?)

If any of you who had your threads deleted possibly saved your reviews in a text file or livejournal post or something, please please repost them for us. Please accept my deepest apologies for the error.

I remember a time when Haullie still was the admin and she accidentally deleted an entire board by mistake and she felt so horrible. Although we all told her it was ok, I know that horrible feeling she must have had in the pit of her stomach.

Like I said, So Sorry, guys.

That's it. I'm leaving the forum.



(But seriously, with all the hard work you've been putting into this place, I don't think any of us could possibly be angry with you for an honest mistake... don't be too hard on yourself, hun!)

Mary, after all of the amazing things you've done for this forum and all of the hard work that you've put in, I don't think that you owe an apology to anyone. With all of the changes going on, something like that is bound to happen sooner or later. Thanks for the post, though, so that we won't be searching around for them.
My Boston review is among those that are gone, but it will be no problem to re-post it. When I have the time (probably this evening) I will cut down the one that I have at lj (it's a bit too lengthy) and put it back up.
