Wc3campaigns and ROTHE said that thehelper went down, and they had to upload all the stuff back onto it (and get a new server). It seems like their most recent server "backup" was around January.

Unfortunately your not a Special member anymore since you were promoted a while ago.

So anyone who made their account after january 4th will have to remake their accounts.

Anyone who posted in this thread that lost Special Membership you should be restored. Officially what happened was the old host we were using suffered a hard disk crash and the backups they had were corrupted. We have moved the site over to our new server but the only good backup of the forums database was from early January so we had to go with that. There is no way we are going to be able to get those lost posts back but we should be able to get everyone back to SM who was one before and hopefully get all the reputation restored, at least to the SMs. Thanks for your patience and understanding guys. Understand that nothing you guys are going through can compare to what I am going through on this - so please be patient. Thanks.

Two words for all future posters of "Where'd my rep go?!":

Shut

Up

From now on, all these topics will be closed. We really don't need 10 topics (locked, nonetheless) about how you lost rep. We all lost rep. It happens. Get over it. You can get it back.

    What is up WildTurkey?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    If you are new to the site please check out the Recipe and Food Forum https://www.thehelper.net/forums/recipes-and-food.220/
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
