That hurts. It's nice to see everything back to normal though, but there was so much being discussed that I only hope isn't all forgotten.

There was an internal bug that causes the configuration of the site to go... bad. Its a known issue that is being addressed and should be fully fixed soon. The occurrence of this bug is from what i understand rare, myself and anonbeat have an action plan to insure the site has daily backups to prevent any loss of content in the future.

on the positive side, this bug we experienced may help to fix the issue on the cor app, so we have in some ways helped the development process inadvertently by experiencing the bug and proving it exists, and providing some examples and bug reports to assist.

Also, there are some new features to the site that are coming soon that im certain everyone will enjoy. And as always, guayadeque keeps getting better and better.

That's a very nice justification for martyrdom...

Thanks for the explanation.
