The BOARDWORLD Forums ran from 2009 to 2021 and are now closed and viewable here as an archive
PRESS RELEASE:
Monday, April 18th, 2011.
At approximately 2:20am (AEST), a member known to the community as ‘Mizu Kuma’ was permanently deleted from the database. Boardworld has explored all possible options in the hope of restoring the user’s account. Unfortunately nothing could be done and ‘The Incident’ will forever be a dark day in our history. April 18th will from now on be known as ‘Mizu Kuma Day’. Not only did we lose Mizu Kuma’s account, but more than 10,000 posts have been wiped from the forums including many popular threads.
We have completed a thorough investigation and we have found the culprit. At this point in time his motives are unclear but he is co-operating with authorities. His colleagues suspect ‘post count jealousy’ may have been a factor. The former administrator has been sent on an un-paid vacation - not that he did much work around here anyway. We hope to one day rehabilitate the former admin and bring him back to Boardworld.
We will be helping Mizu Kuma make an easy transition back into the Boardworld Community and we trust he will have the support from his fellow members.
Boardworld apologises to all those who have been affected by ‘The Incident’.
Yours Sincerely,
Box Head and the Boardworld Team.
Has anyone spoke to Mizu?
Yeah we bumped a few emails back and forth today. He’s taking it pretty well, he had a laugh about it. I think I was more upset than he was. Maybe he thinks it will be a challenge? I can’t wait to see him back on here!

The cops let me keep my iPhone and there’s a strong WiFi signal in the station.
