We've all unknowingly travelled backwards through time

I dont see what is gone really?

edit: Oh, if you ment it got rollbacked then it's probably because the files got somehow corrupted or something.

An admin would have to provide an actual answer to this question, but if there is content missing, it is likely that the database was either restored from a backup or did not correctly save all of the recent data.

We don't know why data has been lost between the 24th and now, as we don't manage the physical system the site is hosted on, so I'm suspecting either a database failure or some other condition caused a loss of data. The Wiki has rolled back as well.

As much as I'd wished this was actually time travel, it's not the case.

It's pretty bad of the host to have such irregular backups, like 5 days, that's a lot of data lost! Where are the daily backups?!

Damnit L, I thought you had finally figured it out! ;P
