Ah, fanfiction.net, thou art so vexing...

Y'know, I know that ffnet has its problems.

But still, it is wonderful to have a community so large where I can upload fics so easily. And sometimes I do find interesting fics there.

Today's message (I am not making this up):

November 24th, 2004 -- We have confirmed a serious bug which corrupted many entries dated pre-2003 during our last upgrade. A recovery process has been started to resolve this issue. Please bare with us as FanFiction.Net return to read-only access.

*sigh* Sad as it is that many entries were mangled, it is even sadder that it encourages yet more rampant misspelling of "bear".

And I'm worried that some of the better pre-2003 fics will disappear or be mangled forever, because their writers have abandoned fanfic.

luckily mine seem to be fixed. Not sure about the pre 2003 ones though :(
