On June 12th, 2012, a forum error (honestly, it was!) caused all ~20,000 threads on TF2Maps.net to be moved into a single subforum. This caused that subforum to be shut down and hidden. This also necessitated a forum rollback, which shut down the site for the rest of the day.

The site is back up and running now. It was our intention to have rolled back to May 28th, but due to a database corruption, we had to rollback to May 22nd, 2012. We apologize greatly for this inconvenience, and will work to help the members get back what was lost during the rollback.

Please read the following about what we will be able to do for you.
  • We will not be able to update your post count nor your thanks/thanked count.
  • We will be able to recover text from threads created during the last 22 days.
  • If you bought/received donator during the past 22 days, please PM drp on the forums with your paypal email address. He will get your VIP status back and give you an extra month for the inconvenience.

Please check back to this thread over the next few days for updates.

Again, we apologize greatly for this inconvenience. Any questions should be posted here, or you can pm Fr0z3n here on the forums. (If you pm me on steam, I might not see it!)

UPDATE! We also realized that 3 weeks worth of members were lost. So if you registered in that time, and can't log in now, you know why. We'll see if we can recover those.

UPDATE 2! The sandbox database is up. I, along with a couple other mods, will be pulling over some of the important bits of the past 3 weeks (aka, judge reviews). After that, I'll look into doing a "requests" forum, for getting certain memorable things back. Please understand that I will not be pulling all 300 posts you made in the past 3 weeks, just a couple of the important bits.

So what actually happened, technically? Table column get dropped/reset to all zeroes? I'm guessing it was more serious than that somehow, judging from how unfixable it was.

13,000 threads where moved in to one subforum.
Moving them back manually would have taken till the end of time.
Rolling back was the path of least resistance.

Sorry about the mess :c
