Oh, the horror!
The other day I went to my old forum, where I used to do my online journaling before it became a blog, and discovered it was no longer there. Apparently the database no longer existed, according to the message on the page.
After waking up from the dead faint, I panicked slightly. My life was on that forum for a couple of years, and I hadn’t transferred everything across to my blog. It was like a part of my life had just disappeared, gone forever.
However, after the panic subsided, I remembered that I knew something about the internet and technology, so I contacted the host provider to ask what had happened, and to please restore the site from backup. This was done immediately, with the explanation that they thought I no longer wanted it….
It would have been nice to ask me before they cleaned out and deleted the database the site was using…!!
