Due to a hardware failure, all posts made on birdforum after mid december were erased.
I hope they made regural backups.

What would you do if something similar would happen here on poly ?

Burn all my saved threads to CD (or, likely, multiple CD's) and offer them to whomever wanted them.

On a tangent, none of the posts from the time of September 11th made it to the Off-Topic Archives, IIRC. Still makes me somewhat mad, it would have been fascinating to reflect on later.

We're not done with you yet alva. The corrent term is "became extinct" not "went extinct".

The latter implies they moved to a new destination, whereas the second implies an alteration of their actual body.

As long as we are nitpicking in the extreme Isnīt "latter" and "second" referring to the same term?

Now that you mention it, what exactly does "corrent" mean?

I missed that one. And the whole second sentence made no sense whatsoever.

Especially if all accounts were erased. I'd just go on a spree registering other people's accounts and charging them a hefty fee for them back

I don't think we have a DL smiley big enough for that kind of abuse.

It wouldn't matter here. All the conversations repeat themselves every 3 months

3 months? I thought the cycles were even shorter than that. Especially when it comes to WWII or Israel/Palestine

While we are nitpicking in the extreme, isn't "isn't" a negative 3rd person singular form of the verb "to be" while you used two nouns in which to be described by said verb.

You should have used the negatory third person plural form of the verb "aren't".

With all this grammar nitpicking, this thread itself is turning into a disaster.
