Deleted entries

Thanks to some pathetic loser several entries got deleted from the database:

- Powerplant & Doc / Legend
- Excel / Legend
- Hero / Illusion
- Crossbow/Crest
- Excell / Legend
- A-Man / Legend

(Verified by Midfit & Westbam)


- Deus Ex Machina (Demo) by Crest
- Electric / Extend

(Verified by Mermaid)

Some dude seems to be online and is still deleting entries. Users online look as following :

midfit *
iopop/triad *
Westbam/Legend.. *
Perff/No Name *
Phiber *
Nafcom/P.o.L... *
Twoflower/Triad *
ice00 *

entered all the information on me(except for the info already entered by iopop) and i also added those of my demos that had been deleted: drop the basics, pretending to see the light and doc bacardi meets doc sportdryck.

but it makes me wonder, apart from the list of people deleted(some of which will be a pain to restore), how
much is really gone? was i just unlucky to have three
demos deleted?

I can not give an exact number, but looking in the access log's I got to these estimates:

99 sceners
64 releases
2 groups

I should however mention that these are the max numbers - it is probably less, and most of it has already been re-added thanks to you. :)

But I can not stress enough that such an insident can not happen again - at least not in that way. I have made sure of that.
So DO NOT lock entries just to prevent them from being deleted!!

Klaus, maybe the wrong locked entries should get unlocked?!


all the best!

Ok, ok, I was just trying to come up with something reasonable. I have to this point not locked anything that doesn't belong to me.

Will all get the same ID as before?
I'm working on a direct link to the musicians here from my composers page at http://composers.c64.org/ and already insterted the ID for most of them.
Wouldn't be too funny to redo this work...

I have been asked this many time, and if it wasn't for all those requests I would say NO.

BUT! As it has been requested by so many I have been looking into it, and even though it is not easy I hope to make an admin-tool to change the id of any entry, and using this we can restore the id's.

I'll will keep you informed.

changing the IDs to their origin would allow us to copy the entries from the WayBack Machine?!.......

Yodelking: you should *never* use id's in direct links: it will cause very big problems. I've seen it happening in professional environments way too much. Think of a better, more clever way instead.

What is exactly the problem? I can think of some reasons, like overload of the target site database if some web-crawler tries to open all external links at once? Any other?
