Not to be that gal, nor to minimize your justified feelings, but. . . It could be worse. Sure, it should've gone smoother, but unexpected traffic and costs have a way of making even surface-simple operations into complex and painful affairs; to say nothing of real life stressors, of which said unexpected traffic has a way of exacerbating. . .
Way I look at it. I lost a fairly detailed post getting perhaps to the root of my inability to play this game. But, hmn, it'll take me maybe ten-twenty minutes tops to recreate it; and it is my own fault for not paying attention to the big, red 'posts beyond the 16th will be lost due to migration' banner. For those who post frequently I know it'll be more of a pain - but better the minor pain of lost posts then the site going down indefinitely.
Mmn, on a side note, the whole 'famous lets player, kids on my lawn, with their internets and the videos' explains why I was reminded of this by a friend whose most adventurous gaming experience was playing one of the Call of Duties blind. I'm glad the game gets more exposure!
