The recent nuking of tons of threads and posts was indeed caused by a bug in the Nanochan software. When the spammer bot-spammed his crap, the bug was triggered, where it was previously unnoticed.
Basically, when posts are slid off the top of cyclical threads (such as the one the spammer was spamming in), I failed to specify the board they were to be deleted from, so instead of deleting e.g. /meta/255 it deleted post number 255 on ALL BOARDS. This issue has now been fixed.
I have merged the Posts table of yesterday's database backup with the current database. Sorry for the fuck-up.
No files, boards or mod accounts were affected.

I'm quite sure it wasn't only post no. 255, for example, ALL POSTS in this thread were deleted:

Once they become old enough to be in your age group you're probably a boomer by then. To me age groups most age groups are completely useless beyond 16 or so and are only there to cause division.

Such gratitude for the board and its software. If you think the board is run by an incompetent, you're very welcome to go elsewhere.
>>2790 Asking for ungrateful people who've apparently nothing useful to contribute to go elsewhere is neither feminist nor indication I'm connected in any way to hakase.
>>2758 such kinds of bugs have been the status quo of software development for 30 years. you have no idea what you're talking about
