Between those two unpleasant options this solution was definitely the better choice. Thankfully procedure to create a backup before a purge provided a recent one! Thanks for the transparency and letting us know.
May you recover as quickly.

You do so much. There will be a recovery period of course, and it is a learning experience. But I imagine the last backup is good enough for the benefactors that may have been accidentally purged. No worries

sounds like he used a nightly backup vs making a backup before purging.

@SkullTraill Another problem is that hellfire lost his ban. I saw the topics about French students as well as the one promoting human sacrifice that he posted and those were some problematic topics
I checked back on the French thread right before the site went down and saw that it had accrued FIVE PAGES of posts between me checking it at night and firing WF back up in the morning. I was intrigued to see how crazy it got but now I'll never know. Dude was wild.
