Zard Problems Resolved Except Not Really

As many of you may already know, the most recent photobucket bandwidth issues have brought on a problem with zards. The field was corrupted and many zards were lost. Today, Vamp drafted the nearest person with nothing better to do (unfortunately, a description that usually fits me), and fix them I did. Sort of.

Some of you may be looking at your primary zard and going "hey, where did you come from?" The data for your primary zards was, unfortunately, completely wiped, and I had to go through the zard of the month and zard adoption threads and manually restore everything, which if you can guess, didn't go entirely as planned.

Many people had either gotten new zards off the record or changed the names of their current zards. For these people, I reverted back to their previous zard purchase. Custom zards were also poorly documented, and staff who can change their own zards of course did not document it either, because that would have been silly. For some staff whose zards I actually remember I fixed them myself (for example, only one zard fit Flaw's description of "V's sister"), but those I didn't remember I left as is to be fixed by their owners. Custom zard owners I think I mostly got, but Hunter's looks wrong to me so yeah. I figured I'd make a thread and tell people that if I made a mistake, post here so the staff know that I made a mistake and can fix it.

I apologize on behalf of the administration for the inconvenience caused by this, and Shadow, who we are pinning this entire incident on while he is away. The fact that we would have pinned the entire incident on Shadow had he been present for it notwithstanding.
