Just to inform you all, something big happened, involving my account getting deleted, then recovered by Andrew Garrison! Here's how it happened.
So this all started when I agreed to help my 10 year old little brother with his homework. It turns out I was way to busy to help him. When I was out of the house he had a temper tantrum and deleted my SP account, the one I'm using now.
It was depressing to lose my account. I was wandering the SP website for a while until I came across a forum post by @Swiftsure who was wondering why my account was deleted. Many others commented on this post, and said really nice things about my creations.
Before I stumbled across this forum post, I decided I was to stop playing SP and return with a new account it a few months, maybe even years.
All the kind words from people commenting on that forum post motivated me to create a new account and continue playing SP. That is exactly what I did, I made a new account called "Waterdog". Then informed everyone about what happened, and planed to use that account from then on.
I was planning to make unlisted uploads of most of my old creations that were deleted when my account was, and make a forum post with links to all of them. Then I noticed, my old iPad was still logged into my deleted account, the one I'm using now. I quickly uploaded an airplane with a description meant to hopefully notify my followers about what happened, and to send them over to my new account.
To my surprise, it worked! And my new account quickly gained over 10 followers. @jamesPLANESii recommend I'd ask the devs to try to undelete my account. I contacted them using the contact button on the bottom right of the SP website.
At first, Andrew Garrison said it was not possible. Then soon after, he said this.
"Looking into this further.......You are very lucky. The website hit an error while deleting your account so the delete didn't actually go through. I was able to recover your account. I have fixed the issue now though, so any future deletes will not be able to be recovered for you or anyone."
So thanks to Andrew for taking the time out of his day to recover my account. And the kind words and support from this community, Ive got my account back and I'm a lot more motivated to build stuff. This community is truly amazing.
I owe you all my thanks.
Oh, that Waterdog account is just gonna be an inactive alt, I might upload some failed projects there.
Wow, readings this 7 years after this was posted is just insane. Very lucky.
Ur lil brother sounds lime a bit of a silly goose
errors are awesome, but not to me, i was upvoting somebody's build and it said "Website Error"
Have a suggestion. Can you upload failed projects (projects you expect to fly but it dosent) in waterdog?
Im your 100th follower!
@Avro683Lancaster sometimes errors can be kind. but the error didnt apply to my account B777. because no one deleted it, it was deleted, like thin air!
i had the problem when i had a random account named B777 Got deleted. but AndrewGarrison completely ignored me! it was deleted after i moved to 1.7! in website! But at least i created a better and more accurate account because that Alt and gone account was completely random and no planes.
@AndrewGarrison should add a "Recover Account" button so that any one who has their account deleted, like what happened with my B777 Account, should be recovered in one click!
Wow! AndrewGarrison and JamesPlanesii are awesome ima follow them now!
@KnightOfAraluen thats why i dont have any.
@Rcb1235 I know Iām a bit late, 1 year to be exact! But, did you beat up your brother?
@KnightOfAraluen well at least all the time is correct š
@DERPYGRIEFER All the time just sounds mean though. I am a nice person (usually)
@KnightOfAraluen still not sure that's accurate š
@DERPYGRIEFER Well, most of the time.
@KnightOfAraluen sometimes?
They should make it so you have to pit in your password or some special code to delete your account so pissed off little 10 yr olds can't delete all your effort
Give your little pro some payback gor me. Also the devs should have to ability to recover accounts, for reasons like this.
Little brothers are annoying sometimes.
@Swiftsure Thanks for making that forum post! It showed me that people actually care about my creations. That played a big part in me having the motivation to get my old account back or make a new one. Without that forum post, I doubt I would be here now with my once deleted account.
Well I was following you because your boats are great and I tapped on your account it it returned me to home page. So I made that forum post about it, and you responded, but thanks to andrew garrison and Jamesplanes your back yeyeyeye
