Hello all,
Recently in auditing our hosted galleries I came across some that I could not get my hands on the docs from the content publishers. Since right now we have exactly ZERO images in our member areas (we are using a bunch of image gallery plugins from various providers).
I kind of freaked out in a panic stricken way and renamed the galleries that had content we would not be able to get IDs from the publishers / vendors.
That would have taken surfers to a regular ole 404 page except for the fact that I changed the .htaccess some time ago to take 404s to AFF. (I was sending several domains to various programs on the 404s when June 23rd rolled around because I had sites so old that the content providers were selling production stills and wouldn't be able to provide IDs for any of that, so rather than fix the sites with new content, I deleted them) I deleted 1000s of sites, many of the AVS sites. I had some of those sites on the hosted gallery domain.
An extremely stupid error on my part and I will think of a way to fully compensate those that were sending traffic to my panic mode fuck up.
I couldn't steal from someone and sleep right, so please accept this as a formal apology.
I'm working on the hosted galleries with new content to get them all back working again this week.
Geeze I feel like a newbie.
I'm very embarrassed, and very sorry. :(
