At https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=12961808930B36662900 , my The Adventures Of Archie Reynolds liveblog doesn't display anything, and no pages can be viewed. I hope it's not gone for good, as I don't have it saved locally. Is it just a temporary glitch? What's going on? Other liveblogs I clicked on don't have this problem.

Furthermore, the entry for the work itself is gone. It wasn't even moved to the Literature namespace. What happened and why?

Okay, it looks like the article was cut for bashing.

However, I still think my liveblog was hilarious, and it did get a lot of comments. I'd hate to see my liveblog be totally blanked. Is there a way to at least restore the liveblog, even if the work in question is no longer there?

No, you had accusations of fraud by the author in the review. You might could make a case for libel with that. Not worth the hassle to host it.

Ouch, just like the sites that accuse Robert Stanek of same. I wish I'd been told about it though. Is it still physically kept somewhere? I could edit that part out.

Was that the only problem with the liveblog itself? I put a lot of work into it and people told me it was hilarious, and I'd hate to see it completely disappear if there was one problem that could be fixable.

So wait, if he removes the references to the accusations, then it can be back up?

We don't know that, Psyga. In fact, if the site was bashing in general(regardless of opinions), it's really not worth having a page on. Removing the ones about this site doesn't change what it does. It just means it no longer is hurtful to us. Of course, a Mod may say otherwise, but this is an important note to think about.

[up] I wasn't talking about the page, but the Liveblog. Should have mentioned that. >_<

Ah, my bad, Psyga. I don't know if that'll matter, though. The whole "But I won't do it again" thing really isn't reliable overall. That's something that's hard to take chances on.

I'm the writer of the liveblog. I never saved a local copy.

Anyway, I know that directly accusing the author of pulling cheap stunts is not acceptable now, so it's a part that's easily removable from the liveblog. However, if it's gone for good, then I have no way of putting it back up (in edited form), since I never saved it thinking I never had to, much in the way that, for instance, I never saved any of my reviews or any drafts of trope articles.

And yeah, "I won't do it again" is likely reliable when the person who made the mistake is here and aware of the problem. The rest of the liveblog's content was just mockery and references to what's happening in the book, no different than other "So Bad, It's Good" liveblogs.

[up] Well, for that I say that I feel sorry for you.

I'll see if I can pull it out of backups. Not big of fan and bile and mocking, though.

Thanks!! I really appreciate it. I'll make any changes I have to in order to comply.

Is it impossible to pull out of the backups? Has it been lost for good?

If that's the case, I understand. It it's found though, I'll be happy to make the appropriate changes.
