thanks that you all are so understanding
but still, I feel very very upset, crappy and ...sad.
It wasn't me this time you know........everything that happened.......just did.......kept going on and on and on. I was not able to stop it in any way, Domi tried everything he could and failed and even the server company who tried to help us was not able to do anything.
After moving to a new, clean, server Domi did everything he could to get that few pieces of data left to something........to anything.......that would be able to work. But it wasn't enough.......many important parts of code simply were missing/overwritten/corrupted.....but he still tried though. But at the end there was nothing left he could do........except accepting that it has found it's ending.
I asked Domi if there would maybe be a chance of being able to at least re-create some parts of the website itself by using the pieces of data that are left. So Domi started working. After some time his team noticed and without any asking all started to work together again. The whole PA team worked together for the final mission. It was like it always had been, as if nothing happened at all. They were talking, discussing things, working together and helping each other, like on any normal day they worked on new implementations for the site.
But even though they tried very hard all they were able to re-create was the PAC login screen. Just the screen, the picture, nothing worked. They hosted this screen, the webpage pic so to speak, on Domi's company domain. As they finished what they were able to do Domi came over to me. He opened up the page in my browser and told me " Honey, I am sorry but this is all we were able to do. We tried very hard and the old PA team worked together for the last time. We did everything we could" I looked at the screen and cried.........
nothing left........nothing more to do.......never again.......
........and completely my own fault.........all I had to do was to save this crapdamn backup of the PAC site and database on one of our home pc and NOT just only on the crap server........
I had been the admin of the site for.......years. Since day 1. I have seen it grow, I have seen it being used by the members, I have seen it closing for some times. But all of this times the site got closed was because we wanted it and did it. And than this........happened. Nobody of us was going to close the site or wanted to close it........in this final time we didn't do anything..nobody of us. I still feel sad you know? sad and ashamed..........all it had needed would have been a single backup of the site and database and all would be back to normal.....and I, yes me, failed........all it had needed had been a simple download from the backup folder on our server..........and I.........did not do that.......I failed. And I just can't get over that.....
But at least Domi and the whole PA staff gave me the possibility to say goodbye. What I did by looking at that screen. There were some that talked of the good old times, some that talked about all the trouble they had with the site....and some.....just cried.
It is my fault that a big community project cannot come back to life, it is my fault that I made some people cry over it, it is my fault that I made you (all the PAC members around) really really sad and upset.........the backup of the site was only my responsibility and so it is my failure. I can understand you people being mad at me, or angry, or upset.....I can understand this completely and it is okay with me. I just want to say: I am sorry for any trouble I have caused, I am sorry for not saving this crapdamn backup and I am sorry for all the PAC members that lost their site.
even though I am sorry, it cannot be undone.........we all have to live with it..........me in my way and you in yours.
I really hope there comes the day you can forgive me my failure, forgive me that I did not save a backup of the site and database on any of our home pc.....
Another thing I'm sad about is the fact Brynn lost her site aswell "brynnbytes". This site was hosted on our server. She was so happy the day I told her that she can have some space on our server. I actually told her: our server is a safe place..... ........well, it turned out I failed one more time. I trusted deeply in our server.............but still it has shown me that it is no save place at all. So, I am really sorry Brynn that it hit your site aswell.........I am sorry.
just btw, it is not just PAC that disappeared........Brynn's site is just one of many others. Some friends of us had their sites hosted on the server aswell and some partners from Domi had too. Not to mention our family sites we had on it. But one of the biggest trouble causing things, besides the loss of PAC, is the loss of a money earning site from Domi. Plus the fact Domi's company site got hit very hard aswell. It took him 7 hours of constant work for just recreating the website design, data and such. Yes, this site had an offline backup made by domi.....he did fine.......in a point I failed.
I just posted this to be able to say I am sorry to anyone involved. May it be the PA staff, Domi and the PAC members, or all the owners of hosted sites on our server. I am sorry guys.
Even though I had nothing to do with the happenings itself, it's still my own fault that PAC itself cannot come back alive again on the new server we are on now, because it was me and only me who missed it to make an offline backup of the site istelf and it's database.
I shall send over some more greetings from Domi and the whole PA team. They enjoyed working on the site and the time they had with all of you. They wish you well. And so do I.......
btw.....the police overhere is still searching to find the one(s) who cause the whole crap.......but so far nothing. They had found out some IP's that could be the ones they are looking for but by checking these they found out it is a dead end. They told me though that they will continue searching.

Relo it WASN'T YOUR FAULT. I don't hate you, I'm not even annoyed with you, and I'm pretty sure no-one else is. IT'S THE STUPID PERSON(S) WHO CAUSED YOU SITE TO DIE'S FAULT. They should be coming and apologizing to us right now, especially you, and Domi, and the team. You worked and worked to bring us a site that brought great joy, and it was all free to us! I hope you find those people who crashed it, and you show them these comments, and see how they feel! >.> I'm really REALLY angry that they would do this to you....
I know it will always be gone, but maybe the fact that police are on the case will help you a little..

^ i doubt hackers and virus-creators apologise to anyone :X sadly there are just dishonest people in the world haha, yeah, I think if Relo showed whoever did it the comments, they're likely not to give a crap. :I Anyway... Relo, this isn't your fault. So, you made a simple mistake anyone and everyone is capable of making. It doesn't matter; we all enjoyed PA(C) while it lasted, and I guess it's just time to say goodbye, you know? It sucks about the other hosted sites (like Brynn's), but how could you have possibly predicted this event? You couldn't have! And due to that, I doubt anyone would peg the blame all on your head. You couldn't have known this was going to happen, afterall.

Oh man, what a tragedy! I send my regards and love your way Relo (AND DOMI!) during this mess, and dang. I can understand the stress! I have fallen quite ill as well (doctors still do not know what is wrong with me...ugh)...but in no way could I or anyone with a conscience put this against you. You guys have done everything in your power to recover all YOUR lost data. PAC is minor in the scheme of things (when it comes to Domi's business and your health) so all love and best of wishes come from this end of the interwebs! I do believe I have all your breed filez and OWs on back-up here on my PC, if you need them, Relo....please don't hesitate to drop me a line and I will send them your way as soon as I can. Best wishes!
