Lost reviews

Post by Gambit »

I was wondering if there were any mod who could check what happened to the reviews I wrote for Aa! megami-sama (2005) and Buzzer Beater. I know I submitted them last year and still remember them as they were the last two reviews I wrote when I got this job. I believe I have submitted them somewhere around September-November 2005 and they were there for a long time, yet when I check now, I don`t see them anymore.
Did I miss something, like putting a backup back from half a year ago? If not, could someone see if they can find something that happened to it?

well, for space reasons I do not keep all backups (300MB per day x_X).
I have the following backups still lying around for that timeframe:

2005-08-01
2005-09-01
2005-10-01
2005-11-01
2005-12-01

However, looking anything up in an old backup always comes with a huge overhead for me. Can you narrow it down to one of those backups?

BYe!

Check that your review just hasn't changed owner. Quite a few reviews have been edited recently and the old bug/feature might have struck.

@PetriW I`ve checked both and don`t see my review inbetween. Neither as my own nor as someone else`s review.

@EXP I was just wondering whether there migth be an indication that my reviews have been either deleted or that a backup had been put back which didn`t contain my reviews yet. I know they have been around a month at least, but after that I didn`t check to see if my reviews suddenly disappear ;) I only noticed now because I was only recently working on a new review again, after not writing any in 3-4 months (nor having finished any anime in the meantime).

If there`s too much overhead included in checking, I shall repost them instead. I do have them still around (luckily), so I can repost them. Although it`s a pity my votes got wiped for it, I can live with it.
I`ll post them again then :)
