What has happened to my reviews?

[NIK]

I have noticed only six of my reviews are now visible.
Is this because the sps concerned are no longer available? Or is there some other reason?

[scutty brown]

We've been wondering what happened to your revews for the last five years.....

[Jerk Chicken]

Ouch!

[Moby Dick]

I see 8 reviews all from London region.

[winkywanky]

They're all there Nik, but sometimes I wonder whether you are? (Joke, albeit a bad one)

[NIK]

There should be 20. See my profile.

[daviemac]

There should be 20. See my profile.

I can only see 8, between August 2010 and August 2018. Don't know where the rest are, have you checked in your post history to see if they've been moved to discussions for some reason.

Thanks.
I can't even remember which ones I did.
There is a reference to Miss Summers in the Charlie 118 one, so I assume I did one of her. I also recall doing one for my last local punt which was as far back as 2013 in Rotherham. I remember it well, because she was a beast.

Ah, I saw at least eight and thought the rest must be there.

Curious.

If I click on your reviews I can only see one, from 2018

[Winker121]

If I click on your reviews I get eight coming up. Perhaps they limit the amount of space you can use up now. Do a new one and see what happens.

Maybe the UKP algorithm is trying to tell OP something.

A "punter" who last posted a review nearly 2 years ago is of little use to us....

Perhaps they have been removed to make room for all your off topic threads NIK. 

[scutty brown]

perhaps they were mass-deleted along with his more recent posts

[AnthG]

I have 40 reviews, but only 29 are showing up. It seems a load of my reviews from 2011 have been removed/deleted, and the entire topics for them too. As I remember I reviewed Impossible Princess, SweetPleasure, Leonie and a few others but neither the reviews nor the actual topics seem to exist no more.

None of those were controversial reviews and all were positive.

Looking at other members who were active on the forum back then its seems are the same too. Their reviews from this time don't exist.

So it seems a load of topics from 2010-mid 2011 have been deleted/lost somehow.

[winkywanky]

All my reviews are there  .

Maybe it's because they're so fucking good?   

[AnthG]

All my reviews are there  .

It's mid 2011 and before that seems to have been culled.

I just looked and Enzio's Two Girl Appointment TeenKylie kettlegate review from that time is gone also. The all-time greatest topic on this forum, ever, bar none. Is gone to digital heaven

Nobody will now know the insanity of that punt done in live time throughout the night.

[Steve2]

Just looked and mine from 2010 - 2011 seem to have disappeared too

[NelsonH]

This is just the digital world.  It's not capable of retaining information that does not generate revenue.

All history and knowledge of the past will gradually evaporate.  There won't be a historical photographic record like we have now.

There's 20 showing, going back to 2014.   

[scutty brown]

can anyone put a date on when they were last visible?
recently or pre-handover?
There was a problem with the database a few months before handover, the site was down for a couple of days and Oldadmin went through a culling  session to reduce the size - for instance a lot of older images were deleted.
Were they lost then?

I've been a member since 2011 and certainly posted reviews in the early days. I also remember PM's with NIK which have also gone! Maybe NIK can check his messages?

Not a problem for me, but some will no doubt care.

Just before the handover Oldadmin told me he'd deleted ALL the old PMs. I got the impression he was deliberately clearing the records, leaving as small a trace of his involvement as possible. Note that was just my impression - he never told me the real motive

Yes, they appear to have gone.
If memory serves didn’t we exchange messages about punting in Sheffield?

I can see 20 reviews from you if I click on your ‘reviews’ tab

[winkywanky]

I still only get to see eight of Nik's reviews.

Weird.

You're probably correct about Oldadmin and the deletion of old PM's.

The reviews though have gone missing more recently. I only noticed because of a thread on the Yorkshire board about all time top 5 WG's. I was interested to see what I'd written previously about the overrated Tiffany from Cameo, which is what we discussed at length NIK, if you recall?

It was a particularly scathing review so best left deleted.

Yes, I saw her twice.
First time she was okay, but no more. Remember it well, because she said, ‘you’re easy to please.’  Evidently she didn’t know me! 
Second time she gave a crap rushed service as she admitted she had a subsequent longer booking with a regular lined up.
She was also v difficult to book.
Most overrated prossy since the even worse Jade, of virtually every parlour in Sheffield.

Halcyon days indeed!

Can still see 38 of my 40 reviews from 2012 onwards.

I can see 8 of yours visible Nik.  Checking my own, I can see all of them (going back to 2013 when I joined the forum) even though some of the SPs are no longer on AW.

Mine are there  62 of them

[Marmalade]

I’m sure there’s a clause somewhere to say you don’t own them. Maybe they’ve been sold.

[davidgood]

I appear to have lost 1 or 2 reviews but also posts between Autumn 2011 and Summer 2013.

I suspect most members from 2011 onwards will find something similar.

The ones in question disappeared towards the end of 2011

Yes David i looked for review you mentioned on another thread (can't remember the thread) and could find it

It still is.
Just not selling anymore.

Oh did you write a book? I never realised...

I've just counted 8. But not the juicy ones. Let's face it, they might have been ob-jeck-shun-able to certain cunting cybernazis.

[PatMacGroin]

When the management change over happened I remember some of the initial teething problems were attributed to moving the site onto a new server host. Maybe some old database files got lost in the move, but weren't noticed until now?

Judging by how many users are now noticing they have missing reviews it's probably one to raise on the forum issues thread (or look and see if anyone else has raised it there already?)

Maybe we deserve a follow-up

Thanks for the publicity, Marm.
I am sure it will start selling again now. 

This is actually the first year sales have totally dried up. Until last year there was never a month without at least one sale. My gambling book has been outselling it for the past few years, but sales of that have also now completely dried up.

Any theories on why that is?

Pandemic? Economic downturns? Any competitor products?

Maybe disposing of income on fish-fanny and dodgy odds have fallen beneath the attention level of the snobbier better off. I wonder how would we re-brand that for Guardian and Telegraph readers...? Loads of positive euphemism of many syllables I guess.
