... still white-listed
Back story: I was working in goldenrod city, fixing something in Gilguys house. Then I went through Kanto, evicting quite a few people for being offline over 2 weeks (some for a month).
As I was in the bank, about to work there, I held a stick and typed
//repl 35:red
For those who don't know world edit, I will explain that is NOT the same as //replace and should bind a tool to the held item which replaces 1 block at a time. The server disagreed. It chose to replace every non-air block inside the world edit selection: from the bottom of my last eviction job in south east Saffron all the way to the first floor of Gilguys house in north west Goldenrod.
The affected area crashed the server, but I thought it was a fluke. Mio texted me 30 minutes later and I saw what had actually happened. The server has been whitelisted since. My plan is to cut out that giant section from my most recent backup, and paste it in, in sections. The upload is 70% done as I post this.
Now the bad news.
The backup is from 6/25/12
And all areas will be appropriately rolled back unless another solution can be found after the fix is applied. I believe the bank was affected by the hit. As well as all houses changed since then. Worldguard regions are safe. Signs are not. Chests are not.
I admit that this is probably one of the 3 worst things that has happened to the server, up there with Windows deleting it and Nightroado rolling it back.
I wish I could undo it. I really do.
