To all the very patient and kind people who commented on my last entry, thank you. It's nice to know that the torches and pitchforks aren't coming out yet. :)
OK, so this was kind of a crazy day. I had a wedding to go to tonight, and about an hour before going home to get ready I see that my email box is filled with Prosebox malfunction, and the Sad Panda is on full display (hey, beats obscure database error messages). And when I realized that the database was malfunctioning beyond my ability to export the latest data, I made the executive decision to get it back up and running by restoring the latest backup, so that the site would at least be running, though missing stuff from today.
And then I typed that last entry on my phone while racing out the door. Why do I have to cut these weddings so damn close?? Anyway, the point is, that if I had the time and a real keyboard, I would have also added that I'm pretty sure the old database is still intact, and nothing would make me happier than successfully pulling the entries and comments from those missing hours and filling them back in where they belong.
So please, before you start running around saying that this place is no better than some other websites, give me a chance to try to fill in that missing gap. Thanks and have a lovely evening.

Take a breath, it's going to be fine.
We all knew this is still a beta and that there were going to be bumps along the road to perfection. Nothing worth anything comes easily after all!
Thanks for the further explanation and no one better give you fits or I'll give them a verbal smackdown! hehe

Just enjoy the wedding, dude. And thanks.

You've already won the battle over "some other websites" SM. You said, "Hey, I am aware there is an issue and I am working on it" which will satisfy all the sane people at least 90 percent of the time. With one gesture you have outperformed the competition by saying you give a damn. Glad to have you at the helm.

I lost an entry, I hope it makes it back because I forgot to save it elsewhere but it's just one entry, it's not whole months like some other place, and if its gone, well, this is still beta and we all know that. So my point is, no griping or pitchforks here

The fact that you communicate and respond is HUGE!!! I don't think people care if a site goes down, but they do care that someone knows about it and is trying to fix it. You're doing a marvelous job! Enjoy the wedding!

Eff the negative peeps. This place is already better than said other place. At least you check in!

I am glad you took the time especially in the midst of wedding dashing. I happen to like the sad panda, he makes me think of classic South Park. And if people give you a hard time well...
"That makes me a sad panda"

"It's sexual harassment... panda!"

Is it sad that I sang that in my head.

Dont worry, I did, too. :)

Just communicating puts you leaps and bounds above some other websites. Kinda wrong of me, but I haven't seen the panda, and I want to! It's the ProseBox Polkaroo for me, but then maybe that's a good thing.

Tough timing, chief. Good on you for keeping communication going. =)
