Where have all the posters gone? - Rumpelteazer - 01-08-2020
Long time silent.
What has caused the exodus of posters from TMMB?
It seemed to happen soon after the site had to revert to a previous backup and a lot of messages were lost. Surely the members are not as fickle as that.

I think it was because we didn't have political discussion here, ive since added it.
I was noticing posts dropping off before that happened, and that was the reason why I attempted to add a mobile theme plug-in since people were complaining that it was not mobile friendly.
Unfortunately when i was trying to create a backup of the site to use as a sandbox, I mistakenly copied the server contents the wrong way and inadvertently overwrite it with the old database.
I also had previously sent a newsletter out which backfired that week when the mailing system kept sending multiple copies to everyone which pissed a few off.
Things did not go well for me that week!
