So, I decided at some point to self-host links to my forums post pics, since my primary hosting site, imgur.com, was blocked by a certain other stamp forum. They claimed the site was "filthy."
So, I had forum posts on my server at home and all was well. Then I decided to build a new server, this one running Linux instead of Windows. That went well. I moved over what I thought was all my data and proceeded to delete my Apache server install and all data off the Windows box.
I realized about a week after I hit "Empty Trash" that all the forum post pics got wiped.
All attempts at undeleting the photos were fruitless.
So, now I am actually going through my old posts and recreating all these pics. It's been interesting, to say the least.
