ROLLBACK - Please Read -

Postby ToyWizBebs » Fri Oct 28, 2011 7:33 am

It looks like the BAF have had a 1-week rollback. I'm waiting to hear from the BrickArms' team on whether posts will be able to be restored, so hang on.

If you have a contest entry that was deleted, wait and let's see what happens please. I'm going to lock down the contest threads because I don't want a double reset if there is a restore that deletes new entries. I'll unlock them once I know. We're missing about 600 posts in this section, so that's a lot of missing info!

Depending on what happens, we may need to alter the contests a bit to allow those whose entries are deleted to restore them. If it comes to that, there will be a post.

Please bear with us guys! We don't have control of these servers on the BAF, so we're not able to retrieve anything ourselves from backup. We're going to work on a way to change that too.

Oh my gosh, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw all of my Moc posts gone. This isn't fun. Thanks for the info.

I know it's frustrating. We're missing a lot of entries for contests, and people who don't visit often might not know theirs are gone.

I'm still hoping for a fix, and waiting for word. I'll unlock the entries as soon as I can decide what will make things fair for everyone.

We don't have their entries or their emails. Also, the BAF doesn't allow you to bulk send, so that wouldn't be practical to even try :(

We will be completely cancelling the Custom Painted Giveaway #15 and no longer running those giveaways as we have been on the BAF. Fear not! You will have your chance to get FREE custom painted weapons from me but it a different way. I will announce the details on Monday November 7th.

We will also be shifting several of our contests and giveaways to other avenues to better take advantage of technologies and abilities we have in place there. There's going to be some cool stuff coming down the pipeline!

Will contests still be held of the BAF? Because I doubt my mom would let me enter a contest on Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, or anything else.

Some will. Some will be held on our blog, which is based off the site. So if you can go to ToyWiz.com you can go to the blog. It's 100% safe.

There will be notices and reminders without a doubt! It's not that we don't want to run them here. We just don't want to not be able to have backups and access to server logs when something happens.

I'm exploring a few options to make it easy and accessible for most people to participate.

So now that the giveaways are on the blog, we go there and post. But when the winners are announced, does the winner send a PM to you on the BAF like before?
