Providing you're doing everything you possibly can to avoid another crash like that. At the very least, and considering the subscription fees, our intellectual property oughta be safeguarded.
Hi John,
There will always be crashes. In this case, the recent backups did not work properly. We are taking extra care to make sure our backups are functional. That being said, TheNextBigWriter is not a storage system. I would highly recommend you backup your own writing even if you are saving it to Google or some other cloud based service. I know someone who saved everything they had to Google and then their account was hacked. They lost it all.
I am not the only one running the site. Even if I go, there are others who take the reins.

Thank you but I still feel terrible. The last two weeks have been tough. I do appreciate the kind words. At one point, I wasn't even sure it made sense to keep the site going. This thread makes me feel like we made the right decision.
Hi all,
I'm working to restore all accounts, add the bonus time, and also provide any lost points. I've received emails, PMs, and forum threads so I'm having a bit of trouble keeping track of it all. If you still need help with your account, can you post it in this thread and I'll take care of it.
Thanks,
Sol
Hi Bobby and dominique, your accounts should be all set. Let me know if you need anything else.
Sol
Hi Nathan,
Your account should be updated. Let me know if you still experience problems.
Sol
Yes, there are some pic upload problems. We're on it.
Hey Sol,
Glad the site's back up and at 'em. I was close to 200 points, I think. What comes to mind is 189 points. I only have 2 old short stories remaining. I'm not sure I've posted enough to get 500 points, but I'll take what you can give me. How about 300-400?
Thanks. You must have gone through some heart burn.

All set, George.
Taking a sip.
I'm going to update everyone's account status later today and tomorrow.
Good suggestion. I can't easily give everyone 500 points but if existing writers ask, I will provide it to them.
Yup. This will happen. We just need a day or two. There's a bug in the membership system we need to resolve first.
Hi all,
Once again, I apologize for the crash of the site and the data loss. If you haven't read the statement on what happened, you can do so here:

We're now working to fix bugs and get the site running smoothly. I realize some of you are being told you have expired memberships. Please post below it that is the case and we will fix it. It may take a few days to straighten everything out.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
Sol
You can post them here. Thanks!
Thanks. I closed the account. Spammers have been out in force lately. Must be getting desperate.
Let us know the members who are giving you those reviews and we'll remove them and their reviews. It's hard to police the entire site on our own.
Thanks,
Sol
Hmm. Okay, we'll take a look at it. Thanks.
Okay, new contest is up. Your suggestions guided my decision. Suggestions that didn't make it into this contest may be used in future ones.

Thanks,
Sol
All good suggestions. We're going to review and hope to have something launched by the end of the weekend. Stay tuned!
Lots of interesting suggestions. Thanks, all!
Hi all,
Happy New Year! We're getting ready to launch a new contest. Before we finalize anything, does anyone have any fun ideas? We're open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Sol
Hi all, the problem should be resolved. Let me know if you still experience any issues.
Hi all,
We're looking into this. More info to come. Sorry for the delay in responding.

Congratulations!
We'll be announcing a new contest shortly.
Hi, this message appeared because we needed to update the certificate on our server. There was no hacking attempt or security breach. We have fixed it and all should be fine now.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Sol
Hi, I changed a setting and that worked. I was able to enter my test. Go ahead and try again. It should work but let me know if you experience any problems.
Thanks,
Sol
