Can someone please tell me when the icons disappeared?

[girlboheme]

Hi, everyone!

I know I'm not active anymore but I do want my icons to be available for everyone for as long as possible. And will make sure they are.

What I want to know is when the icons went offline. Does anyone have a date?

Sometimes entire folders disappear from my site and I didn't delete them. However. I was cleaning up my site last month

So glad you enjoy them! I really loved making them. I will try to get them back up sometime this week. Yep, it will probably take me a while to get them back in the right places, too. But no big deal.

I'm so happy to see this post - I love your icons and had recently noticed that the icons were gone. And I was sad.

Thank you for wanting to keep the site open. Recently an icon maker deleted her entire comm because she didn't want to make icons anymore. She refused to leave it open for people to use the ones already there. :(

That's sad. Many people have left LJ over the years, due to some of LJ's policies, but they have gone elsewhere (GJ, JF, DW, Wordpress, Blogger, etc.). I always dislike it when someone that I've known and really enjoyed posts by just ups and disappears.

What sort of icons did this person make, btw?

The comm was toocuteicons and this one is just one example.

She did give a few days notice so I saved about 70 of them. But thousands of icons are now gone.

Frack! I *heart* her icons! What happened? Why did she leave! And why not leave the icons up for folks to use? Argh. I've been starting to look for autumnal icons, and I would have been looking for new ones by her. :(

I know nothing about this, but OMG, YOU ARE BACK!!! :D

LOL! Yeah, it was suddenly brought to my attention that the icons were gone and I had no idea. I mean, I spent years on those suckers! I must have them around.

How are you doing? How's Amy? Well, I'm getting better. Been working on my scrapbook kits, mostly. Trying to get myself back in the game. Losing mom really did a number on me :/ Especially so soon after losing dad. John has been amazing. Don't know what I'd do without him.

That's so good to hear. :) Amy & I are doing well as a couple. She has some personal things going on (medical stuff), but nothing too scary. I'm good, except that I'm in limbo with work (no job, no motivation to get one). Life is overall good!

I'm so sorry to hear all of what happened to you. :( And I'm glad to hear that the icons will be coming back, I had about a million pages bookmarked for later use! and remember experiencing them being there one day and gone the next, but I cannot remember when that was. I'm sorry.

ETA: I'm wrong, I remember now! It was July 14, I was at a Bastille day thing and trying to show an icon to someone and it was gone, so it was definitely July 14.

Thank you! I haven't been able to get him to hook up the old hard-drive yet but I will see if he can do it this weekend, then I'll start adding them in..

I can't believe they were offline for that long! Goodness. I should have paid more attention...

Re: icons

I think we'll be okay. I just have to get the hard-drive hooked up and I do believe I have them all on it. It's an old one, so I have to take my computer apart to do it.

I will see if I can get John to get it hooked up in the next day or so.

Thank you, though!
