Hey, you deleted my files!
-
Found this amusing story. It's from a little while back, so I don't know if it was posted here before. A quick search of the forums didn't yield any results, though:

Try a <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Athedailywtf.com+crawler+delete+files&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a>Google site search instead.

Blast, I searched the forums for something like this, but didn't even think to search the featured articles... alright, carry on, nothing to see here.

No, for two reasons:
- You can search both by selecting "Entire Site" from the drop-down next to the search box, but...
- TRWTF is that a performing that search with the same search terms I used for Google doesn't bring up that article.[1]
The search box on the articles however appears to be powered by Google (and 'works,') not CS. It would appear that CS is TRWTF .But I repeat myself.
[1] Even changing it to 'crawler delete file' (because the word 'file' appears in the body, but 'files' doesn't) still won't bring up the article.

Is it just me that sees the irony in this sentence?
One of my favourite classic wtfs nonetheless.

I think "Entire Site" makes it search the entire
forums.thedailywtf.com
site.

Probably someone did delete the @El_Heffe that got imported into Discourse.

I survived the import into although shortly after that Jeff Atwood posted something so absurd that it completely blew my mind and I left, and didn't come back till after the switch to this current software, which is only slightly less of a clusterfuck (but at least Jeff's no longer here).

That was a rather commonplace occurrence. Are you going to leave us just hanging here, wondering which of Jeff's many absurd posts you're referring to?

Did you maybe change your email address in Community Server since Discourse was a thing but before it got locked forever?

There were so many I don't remember which one did me in.
