Note to ReadersPosted on May 26, 2010
We are currently recovering from what we We also lost a few items, so if it feels like a bit of a time warp, you’re not crazy. Things could be worse. We could still be offline. We could have Sarah Palin as our vice president. We could have devoted six years to watching a show about a mysterious island only to have nothing explained in the series finale. Update: Our tech people tell us they no longer believe this was an attack. They are still working to identify the problem but they say the outlook for restoring the lost comments does not look good. For the record, we did not erase any comments. We restored the site from a backup taken Tuesday night, so comments posted after that backup occurred (a rough estimate of 100 or so comments) are not posted on the site. Everything should be fine now. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more. Again, our sincere apologies to everyone who lost a comment. We consider your participation a vital part of Truthdig’s mission and will continue working to see if there’s a way to restore the missing comments.

I certainly hope they can find out exactly what happened so it won’t again. I lost some of my comments too and don’t have a back up.

And we hope that this was not caused by excess complaint traffic bleeding over from FaceBook.
There’s a leak! Call someone quick!

I definitely thought there was an attack, Yahoo appeared on my screen and I use Gmail.

Personally, I’d feel honored if somebody even cared enough to hack my comments! It’s not every day we peons can get beyond the confines of orthodoxy—which is pretty much nowhere, sad to say. Like frogs croaking to each other, I often think—and then something challenges me or offends me or excites me and I’m off again.
