So, as most of you forum dwellers have already noticed, some time ago, "Topics started" and "Topics posted on" had come back after a long time. I, for one, was so amazed and really happy I could see dear old memories (most of which were roleplays I participated in) once again and read them over and over-- whenever I got the chance. I had plans to make sure they were kept (on a notepad thingy)(all the best ones, at least), but every time I looked back at one, the thought of doing it "now" never usually crossed my mind, and whenever it did, I thought that maybe there'd be more time, seeing as no plans of clearing space were announced. I thought they would all last a lot longer than they did through the course of their short, read-only revival. Maybe even forever, right?
Boy was I wrong... Without care or concern, they let their little yellow Poera slither around and eat up all the dead ones, all memory of them lost. And made my goal not acheived at last, but rather, broken to pieces, irepairable shards. And the only shards still sparkling good as new, the names of such wonderful past memories that I wanted to survive. One "shard" of which, almost brought me to tears when I saw it's pieces too were lost... The best of the old times: "*starfox* originals and made-ups welcomed" which was started by a dear friend of mine who has not come back since a long while ago.
Now, don't get me wrong, I can understand the whole deal of wanting to clear space by permanently removing things too out-of-date (from years ago) and read-only anyway, believing no marapets user would care about the old topics; but what should have been done, was something like this, just in case there were people like me, who held all the old (or at least some of the old) VERY dear:
We should have been informed maybe a few days or so ahead of time, so that all who did hold anything old DEAR could copy-paste them to (and fix them on) a notepad, word, or whatever similar thing file. At least as many precious things one could possibly grab within such timeframe.
This, dearies, is my complaint... My biggest complaint. And I wish I could grab at least that one that I mentioned... I loved that one great rp like a child or something... Despite being badly written by most, and moving along very poorly and all too suddenly in most cases, it was by far, the best I had participated in, in my entire career as a marapets, and first-time roleplayer. It even showed how I first portrayed Akaiva, one of my characters... She was a little crazier, just by a bit. And even though she was meant for this "revenge" on her sister (and always has been), she'd even go looking for revenge on just about anyone. For reasons such as st8pidity, being in the way, or even annoying, almost regardless of whatever side said other character was on.
Anyway, other than the detail of why that roleplay is so special to me, that's really it. I really wish that I could find some way to get to the thing again and copy and paste it to a special place where it will never leave my sight again... but for all we know, things such as these, could be permanently removed from all existence already... forever within the unrecoverable abyss of the completely deleted.
I wish things hadn't 've turned out this way... I'm really upset that they have, and probably will be by some (maybe small (by the time it* comes)) level to *the day I have to leave this world (which isn't coming anytime soon, just so you know).
So yeah, now you know.
Thanks for your time, that is... if you read it entirely. It is very much appreciated.

Wow, that computer's crash sounds a lot worse AND more painful than the unannounced clear-out. I guess you're right, however.
It's just that for a while (hopefully not for a long time to come, but knowing me, it probably will 'cause I can be a real whiner and a cry-baby) it's going to be hard to get over.
Happens with a lot of things. Gee... I'm such a clingy freak! <XD
Thanks so much for dropping by, it means a lot.

I'm sorry to hear you lost some memories. I once lost an entire computer filled with writing when it crashed, and while that is differenr the result was the same. But as much as it hurts to lose precious memories/work, eventully the pain does goes away, as well as the sense of loss. Just thought I would share that. :]
