sure, in some ways, it sucks that they lost everything. honestly though, i think it's a good thing. there was so much outdated crap on that site it was ridiculous? remember when people first started skinning with mystyles and all the themes looked like luna? all seven billion of them? yeah, well those are all gone now. good thing if you ask me.

oh yeah, and my login is back up so go DL it if you haven't yet.

Threads merged. In future i recommend you contact themexp themselves if there is a problem. There is little we (neowin) can do to resolve this. If there is a problem, they are the ones you need to speak to.

I wonder what kind of bandwidth themexp.org uses every day, and every month? must be a lot all those people looking for themes and logon screens boot screens, and wallpaper, then all the downloading and uploading

good thing that site isn't at geocites or they would be out of bandwidth in a second

I had my daily look at Themexp.org just now and to my suprise there is only 45 (yes 45!!) Visual Styles there!

There used to be loads , what do you think happened to them?

And suprisingly enough, they tell you exactly what happened on the main page:

ThemeXP Reset - 04.25.02 @ 10:21 PM EST

All right. We are fuming; all of the screenshots and uploads as of April 25 have been completely wiped from the server. There was a technical problem, and we really wish we had a backup of all the data, but we don't. So we really need your support right now to help us restore our database of submissions. However, we still respect the copyright of the author. Please do not submit works that are not yours unless you have the permission of the author. As badly as we want to get this site back up, we do not want to do it via illict means.

We know what a pain this is for everyone.

If you are still mad, please feel free to release it in the forums, but please refrain from flaming us because we've done all we can.

Edit: woah, merge-age (is that even a word? :D :D If it isn't I'm sure Keldyn will make it so with his godly power ;) )

themexp.org mostly unstable and sometimes display incorrect SQL codes in the front page. It has something to do with MySQL coding...perhaps wrong?
