Mailing Lists Have Disappeared

[Suzee]

The Triad Mailing lists are gone.  I don't know what happened and Godaddy can't explain it either. There were here earlier today but now they're missing.

We can have the website fully restored for $150. But that will roll us/forum/website all back to their last full backup.

OR

I can recreate the mailing lists, which means there will be NO archive and you will all have to sign up again.

Please indicate which you preferr and let me know if you are able to contribute to the $150 price tag for the restore.

Thanks
Angry Webbie.

EDIT:
New Mailing Lists have been created at google groups. Please go there to sign up for one or both of them:

• https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/triadweyrs
• https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/adults_triad

We're all boned either way, and as much as I'd like to contribute, it would have to be with a money order via snail mail. So I'd like the option that causes the webbies the least amount of stress. If that's remaking the mailing list and building another archive, let's go with that.

[Yvonne]

WHAAAAAT. >.< That's ridiculous that the archives are GONE because GoDaddy is having issues, and they're charging us $$$ to bring them back!! Freakin' highway robbery.

I'm happy to contribute some cash. Wish it was in CAD rather than USD though! :P

[Paula]

What?  that's just blackmailing! Did they do that on purpose??? ''

[emma]

wtf?  Not what I wanted to wake up to

[Amanda N]

Ugh...we moved away from GoDaddy a while back and this makes me so glad we did.  I, honestly, think it would be better to get a host that has better customer service and is going to take responsibility for their mistakes.

I'd be glad to make some calls and see if I can get something done about this, but I don't know if they'll talk to me since I don't have access to the site and am not on the account.

[Jane]

I'm in favour of getting the archives back and I'll contribute a little.

And then she asks ... Without the archives have we lost posts?  Will there be gaps in the posts listed on the website, or is all that side still sitting safely in the inboxes of people concerned?

[Avery]

We should not have lost anything earlier than January, as the current area admins do it at least once a month. I went through my email today and have posted every DFW and DCW territory post I have between Jan 1 and today. I'd like to encourage people to check through the site archive, see what they see, and tell me if they see something missing.

[Heather]

New lists are fine with me AS LONG AS what has been stored on the website doesn't go bye-bye. However if rebuilding/resetting the lists sets back the archives on the website then.... Nooooo :(

So I feel torn--- we pay the $$$ and yet we lose info on the site? Or we get new lists and lose the archives?

GoDaddy should fix this FO' FREE since it is THEIR error.  ._. Ugh, GoDaddy. My least favorite provider. ICDSoft is much more reliable.

If we decide to pay the money I can contribute some.

[Mirren]

GoDaddy sucks.

[Suzee]

Sooo with some help from Amanda, I think we have their attention now and have several people looking into how this could have happened.

Things don't just disappear.

We'll see if it makes any difference or if we still have to kick and scream to get them to fix this.

[Len]

I'm more for cutting our loses and going with a more reliable provider. If it's happened now, it will happen in the future. :/

[Mirren]

Fingers crossed for having this sorted soon and as painlessly as possible.

[Devin]

Yikes! I hope this gets sorted out.

[Leigh]

Uh, the CBox has vanished too now. Oh dear.
