Some Love for Kittycattylion

 In the only way I know how...


Say it with sushi.



For those who don't know, the other day a bunch of threads on the EA forum randomly disappeared. Naturally people were concerned- many had put a huge amount of work into their modelling competitions/stories etc., so to see them scrubbed was somewhat heartwrenching.

There was hope that it was just an admin error, but sadly today we were given the news that the deleted threads would not be recovered:




It's an interesting explanation isn't it? And to me it provokes two main questions:

 1- who would be sad enough to waste their time hacking thesims3.com?
2- who would be vindictive enough to deliberately destroy other people's hard work?

It kind of boggles the mind.


So amongst the lost- The Tea Legacy thread; a legacy that Kittycattylion had invested a huge amount of time and effort into. A legacy written entirely on the forums, meaning now that the thread has been deleted it's gone forever.
 I'm sorry this happened to you Kitty :(
*hugs*

  2. This really was a lovely thing to do Fury, we are all so upset and trying to help our kitty get through this in any we can <33

  3. The thing i laugh at is that the guurs are all about rewriting the threads to bring them back into existence.
    Poor Kitty looks like she's going to implode in the last pic.

  4. Hydra just doesn't get it; hard work like Kitty's cannot be REWRITTEN quite the same. That is so sad. <3!

  5. Oh... I can't really sympathize because none of the threads I was/am really involved in were deleted. I empathize though. It must really really suck to just have all your hard work washed away like that. BTW I think that last pic looks really sweet.

  7. Fury your such a sweet person. <3 :)

    Im also disappointed that Hydra just expects people to rewrite the threads again, you can't rewrite something that you've done for such a long time.

    Feel better Kitty! :)

  11. Oh my, that's awful. No back ups or anything? D: </3

    My question is, because I know how most forums run, how did this malicious user get an admin account? They have to be approved yes? I say a conspiracy is forming!

    1. They clicked the wrong button or played with the wrong bit of code and they lost a bunch of threads, yeah stupid move, but hey it happens.

    2. A rouge admin! Oh mah gawd!

  12. D: Don't worry... it happened to me once on another forum. I was JUUUUST starting to read it too... never got to finish it. :(

    I wonder who would ever want to delete those wonderful threads :/

  13. I like how Nic says that they were "accidentally deleted" during maintenance, then Hydra says that they were hacked.

    Reeks of bullshit. If someone hacked the forums as a means of "getting revenge" on EA, or just hack the forums period, I would imagine that they would delete all the Mods and Gurus threads, but alas, those threads are still sitting pretty.

    EA fucked up and are as usual, trying to cover their asses by blaming it on something else.

  15. Oh Kitty I'm so sorry to hear that! That truly just bites the big one :( Maybe you could continue the legacy on a blog? Hopefully *fingers crossed* you have most of it saved somewheres....It still is awful regardless...stupid EA...I'm so sad for you.

    Fury that was so sweet of you to post for kitty :)

  16. Oh nooo! </3 My heart = broken. Fury, you're so sweet to post this for Kitty...also, I have extra fish if you need any.

  17. WE SHOULD SOU EA BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH i mean I never really got around to reading the tea legacy, but it seems like a LOT of people really enjoyed and it obviously crushed kitty! I mean the only reason I can think of why someone hacked into ea and killed a bunch of threads was because the wear jealous of them and kitty. But still it sounds like she worked REALLY hard on that legacy and the story sounded adorable.

  19. Shouldn't a professional website have like, a backup system?
    And shouldn't they have noticed that someone had hacked into their site?
    This seems kind of suspicious.

  20. AE also makes a good point! Another staff member said they were wiped because of maintenance a few days ago. I think they deleted them on purpose to make space.

    ReplyDelete
  21. But if they did that then they've just deleted Kittycattylion's legacy! That's unfair - that's not something they should be doing. If it is EA, I'm going to do something about it, cos it's not fair.

    I feel really bad for you Kitty. Some mentally deranged psyco that doean't give a fuck about anything is really going to get murdered when the EA losers have found out what it is (I'll pay someone to murder them for you...)
