Yep. There was even some half-serious discussion about shutting down the forums for 12 - 24 hrs while this sorted itself out. Thankfully, that route wasn't pursued, but it *does* mean we have to live with a bit of a "time warp" for a while, yet.

Actually the forum was shut down.... for acouple of mintues:

[23:31] <Thunderfall> just doing some maintenance...
[23:31] <Thunderfall> It looks like it's impossible to fix the post problem though, because the posts were timestamped June 17th.
[23:32] <Thunderfall> the server was 12 hours fast.

[23:42] <Sirp> hi
[23:42] <Thunderfall> Processing thread 33999/53745 now...
[23:42] <Thunderfall> it's taking loner than expected...
[23:43] <Thunderfall> hi sirp
[23:43] <Sirp> hi TF
[23:43] <Thunderfall> sorry the forum is closed.
[23:43] <Sirp> ummm....that's ok
[23:44] <Thunderfall> should be done in 10-15 minutes...
[23:44] <Thunderfall> just don't get scared when you see some posts orders are messed up.
[23:45] <Thunderfall> Processing thread 45999
[23:46] <Sirp> post orders are messed up? Like as in some posts will come before posts they used to come after?
[23:47] <Thunderfall> yeah, because the server was 12 hours fast after the upgrade. they have fixed it now.
[23:47] <Thunderfall> but cant change the posts' timestamps.
[23:49] <Sirp> can't you go through the database and update all posts that were posted between those times?
[23:49] <Thunderfall> ok, forum is re-opened.

I quit reading the Civ3 forum because some threads were unintelligible. Not that they are much better when things are OK.
