There are instructions on how to recover some of it using Google’s cache, perhaps that’s how?

haha. They setup the backup server to copy the main server and when the main server wiped the backup did the same!

I know what you mean. I had my JS account for over six years and my readers paid for my account. I feel sorry for them since money is coming out of their pockets to read something that doesn’t even exists anymore. I didn’t care for the lost written content as much since it was not my primary journal account but it was the best looking one in my collective as I’ve spent a bit of time customizing it and now it’s gone.

Don’t expect me to start a new account with the current JournalSpace service. I would rather reactivate one of my deleted journal accounts elsewhere than to go back to JS. A huge shame for the people in my f-list… I think I remember only a small handful of readers and I don’t know if they use any other journal service.
