| LOL. Came back after months. 9001 episodes everywhere yet my half time (days) stats is gone. SSJ now deserve an award for playing with MAL. |

I bet they get a shitload of money because of us through ads each month. What we mean by FREE, is that we don't pay money from our pockets for none of the services MAL offers us, and i highly doubt that any of you which complain of backup, security, etc., were ever moderators anywhere, so that they know the risks and everything. Would it make you feel better if Mr. Xinil told you why he do that, why he doesn't do that? Would it change a damn shet if you knew what is the reason for MOD's behaviour? And for all that complain of security:TRY COMING WITH SOLUTIONS TO HOW TO DO IT, not plain ideas, which my 3-year old child can come up with. MAL is doing its best to fix this, so none of you have any right to complain, even if it were to close now site forever. You're not at a concert where you paid tickets. I know what people mean with free. But it's not because something is free, that we just have to learn how to live with it. The weather is free, yet people still complain. |

| I was trying to read a synopsis of a specific anime and what did it say? "Prepare yourself for another 9001 action-packed episodes oozing with epicness!" This is bullsh*t! I wasted 2 seconds for reading that... I want to kidnap this hacker in real life, tie him up, skin him alive and then finally put vinegar inside the open wounds.. |

Can I still watch the 14th episode and set it as Complete or should I wait bit in order not to cause a glitch? Better not update anything on your anime list. Wait til they fix the messed up database. That's all we can do.. --- And please guys, don't post unnecessarily in this thread. It's hard to track if there are any updates on the problem we're having now. |

| Damn the security system have to be a little more tighter. :/ My list is filled with 9001 episodes and I didn't know I can watch that much episode in a day. .__. Even the number of days I watched the anime is messed up. This is troublesome >w< Imagine if our list becomes empty. o_o |
 |
| I am kind of wondering if the mods are looking fr the messed up shows? If they are doing the whole thing one by one then shouldn't they ask for our help in informing them what shows we find with problems by making a thread for such a purpose? I am saying this because many hentai or small ovas etc have been messed up and shows that is not that easy to find. The name being messed up is easy since they can just put the name "SSJMaster vs. Xinil - A story of epic battles!" in the search and find all the messed up anime but the episode count is hard to find i think.

It's been mentioned multiple times that staff don't have access to backups. Only crave and xinil does. Just have to be patient, it will get sorted eventually. Wait, this sound stupid. So what if the staff don't have access, why doesn't Xinil and Crave then use the backup. If the staff is suppose to fix all that with no access then how are they gonna bring back things like the description of the anime? Are they suppose to be using Google cash? Crazy things really. Also by seeing a Google cash page you can fix episodes, description and name in a few minutes so if 3-4 people even did all that one by one they should have fixed many shows by now, how many shows did this guy changed? |
| To Aru Kagaku Railgun still has the 9001 episodes garbage |

Yhuuro said: Funny thing is, whenever you reverse search an image in a scrambled anime entry, the correct anime name will appear in the Google search results lol. It's even easier. Hint: there's a thing called "ID" for every database entry. |
| I just hope we dont get a rollback. :D |
| What do these hackers get from taking such actions anyway? Enjoyment? Pathetic. |

how you doing cashed pages? |

Also, you do realize if rollback will really mean reverting our list updates, then the longer the wait is the greater the loss will be... I doubt, if it happens, they will rollback the whole database. All they have to do is revert the table where the anime descriptions and stuff are, which won't affect the lists, as they will most likely be stored in another table of the database. That is of course what I would do anyway. I don't know why they haven't restored all the data, it is not like I am in personal contact with xinil. I'm just echoing what others have said because people can't be bothered to read the rest of the thread. Have actual mods or anyone confirmed that this is possible? It would be great to know that my list won't be rollbacked a week from now, because honestly that has been my biggest worry, and it's a pain to keep up with the list manually in case of a rollback. I'm used to waiting for fixes on MAL now, no problem, but the thought of having a whole week of my list updates rollbacked without warning makes me uneasy, and so far I don't see any attempts to fix this otherwise or any official statements on how they will proceed so even that bit of confirmation would be great. Are my list updates safe? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| This is where daily database backups are useful... |

Just out of curiosity and for my own future benefit: How did you access the export feature? Is it in the panel settings somewhere? *Edit: :O found it just after at the top of my anime list itself >_< Thanks for pointing this feature out to me though! |
