ATTN: REGARDING THE $ZB LOSSAGE

lpxxfaintxx · 01-29-2008, 02:59 PM

After some investigation, we couldn't find anything that could have caused the $zB lossage. However, we did find out that it is a common bug in the system, and are now in talks with the developer of the program. Another $zB lossage is likely, so post at your own risk.

Once we have patched the program, and the bug is fixed, we will start refunding the lost $zB. They will be restored using the simple steps:

1. Your word. Tell us around how many $zB's you have lost. If you do not know the exact amount, guess/estimate.
2. We will double check to see if that number you provided is reasonable. We can do it simply by looking at all your posts and checking the dates to see how many posts were made AFTER Zunecentive was launched.

NOTE, people trying to cheat ZuneBoards by lying about the number of $zB they have lost will be BANNED from the site and zunecentive. And yes, we will double check for every user.

Once again, I will announce when we will be restoring the $zB as soon as the bug is patched. Until then, stay calm, and sit tight. Don't be surprised if they are deleted again.

EDIT: We will start restoring the lost $zB. For more information, please go here.

I am glad we will be able to get these restored

.

I am pretty lucky to remember, when zcentive started, I had 2.5k posts.

for all those certain people, and u know if im talking to you, THIS DOES NOT MEAN STOP POSTING, UR HERE TO BE SOCIAL NOT GET FREE STUFF

nathanlawliet · 01-29-2008, 03:02 PM

I made about 5 last night, and around 20 something today(my number, that's how many I made today). I'm not sure if quick replies count or not, so I'm guessing right now 30 zB.

Trogdor · 01-29-2008, 03:04 PM

I can dig it!
edit- I just lost my $zb again
I got 96 yesterday and 33 before this post
Current Grand total 133

lpxxfaintxx · 01-29-2008, 03:06 PM

Good news, the cause of the phenomenon has been pinpointed. Nurta will be here soon to enlighten us.

k-man2 · 01-29-2008, 03:06 PM

ah man I just lost em again maybe I'll wait and in a few days it will be fine

Volpe Sinatra · 01-29-2008, 03:07 PM

Hehe, I've been posting to be posting.. my $zB is displayed right there, yet I've been paying no attention to how much I've got.. or had.. anyway..

But once everything gets fixed, it'll be all good. =3

edit: *187* posts! w00t!! \m/ lol..

marktheazian · 01-29-2008, 03:08 PM

Haha looks like i lost mine too.
I had about 34 yesterday and i just lost like 25

Jon · 01-29-2008, 03:08 PM

I had about 80 to 90.

Tobososlow · 01-29-2008, 03:09 PM

Haha I just noticed they all went bye bye again after looking at this post, good thing they will be restored.

lpxxfaintxx · 01-29-2008, 03:09 PM

Yes, all $zB has been deleted a few seconds ago. That's how we found out what caused it.

saab900 · 01-29-2008, 03:10 PM

Oh, thats awsome! I didnt realize I had lost zb$ lol. I want to say I had about 20 last night, no rush though. Thanks!

Edit: Wow! you guys found the problem quick!

noideas4thisname · 01-29-2008, 03:10 PM

I have lost about 10 or so already, not a lot, but enough to make me wonder. You guys are great, once the kinks are worked out on this it will be amazing. I used this forum a lot before zunecentive, but it is even better now. Hopefully people won't try to scam it and fill the boards with nonsense...

EndUnknown · 01-29-2008, 03:10 PM

i think i had 30 or 40. not sure.

nathanlawliet · 01-29-2008, 03:11 PM

About 25, with 4-6 from yesterday. I've got a document with the number of zB i've lost, so I'm all good.

Nurta · 01-29-2008, 03:12 PM

It turns out that when a spam thread was deleted, due to a bug in the system the entire databse got reset to 0.

This is since when you delete a post, the $zB are lowered back down so no one gains from spamming. However, the plugin had a bug and that is what caused the outage.

Tobososlow · 01-29-2008, 03:14 PM

*Gasp* I like how everyone was posting how much they lost even after lpx said not to. Good times.
Good job Detective Nurta, when can we expect a fix?

I had around 55 or so when it reset, and I would like those back. But, I'm not only posting for the bucks(although it does motivate me more). Oh jeez, just realized another 20 were deleted.. So I guess i'm at around 75.(enough for the case I wanted
