Default Hey guys, i'm sorry :(

Hey guys i'm sorry, this early am, i started trying to mirror the website, I'm not sure if I was the one that caused this, but if I was I have every single file I pulled down, I can re up load it, and fix the site back up... but if this is relating to something else then desregard it, I just wanted to mirror the site, but I guess I missed one of the options (didn't even know we had r/w access) and I started to replace files, I don't know how, why but my "mirror" program wasn't configured prop.

FOR XDA STAFF, IF I WAS THE ONE THAT CAUSED THIS PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP, I WILL BE MORE THEN WILLING TO HELP FIX MY MISTAKE AND SORRY AGAIN GUYS

:? :? :? :? :?
i can be contact directly to my cell phone (please only staff, no bashing i said i'm sorry i'm a human what can I say, i'm just trying to fix things)

Mate, props for owning up, a lot of people would have kept quiet.

To site admins:

I know this has been bought up before, but can I ask why the "xda" user doesn't have JUST read-only access to the site and only write access on the Upload directories?

I have absolutely no idea what FTP server you're using/how to configure it specifically and I don't mean to tell you how to run your site (and it's a very fine site too!), but in my opinion we've continually had problems with the FTP and people deleting things (maliciously or in this case accidently) which could really be avoided.

Apologies for any offence caused.

--Neil
