SB1 restart/closing?

Is there a reason that all posts have disappeared from the Soap Box 1.0 group? I would restart it with an "Ahhhh clean sheets!" post, but worry that I might interrupt some special maintenance activity. Did someone in the group post something particularly egregious, or is the current limbo state an accident?

It was my fault and it was an accident - instead of loading the posts it loaded a button that said 'Create your Blog!' and I accidentally pressed it while playing Minesweeper. It then said that it had done it successfully and then all the posts were gone... :((

I, too, would like to know.

So you really weren't kidding with your Lounge post. In any case that sounds like a bug for several reasons - I would have expected it would require a group manager to initially create the blog, and wouldn't have expected creation of the blog to be available once there was one (aren't the posts themselves the "blog"?), or at least that it not remove all current posts without requiring confirmation... Don't[^] push the red button

It would be useful to at least know if it is safe to just start over...

No, I was being serious, it was all my stupid fault. It really does seem like a bug, but I don't know why it only does it sometimes - does it ever show that button for you?

Presumably, the site has backups. Presumably someone on staff will do something about this, soon. 'Twould be nice if they then went on to fix the bug, as well.

You just wait until your father hears about this!
