It's the worst when you submit a tl;dr and the server derps while you're typing. :( That happens every once in a while and it suuuucks.

Can't tell if you stole this idea from someone who had their thread closed in the OC, or just a coincidence.

o3o;

Yes, I have. It was fantastic!

One time, I had a 10 page report. Saved it to my computer, woke up in the morning it was due, guess what crashed? MY COMPUTER! :D I had to stay home and do it again.
Keep being amazing.

I completely stole it. Hang me now!

Ugh, same thing happened to me in the 8th grade with a science project I was doing the night before it was due.. but like 3 times in a row. It was completely ridiculous and I was on the verge of a mental breakdown.. >.> lol.

moments.

quixotic

It is the single most disheartening thing that happens to me on this forum... It doesn't happen often, but say I've just done a huge bunch of comments and rates in the graphics forum, and then I lose it, I just feel like seriously not even typing it up again... :P

I take a break and then try remember what I wrote and condense it so it isn't as long the second time. xP

I didn't accidentally delete it, but it was because of pokecommunity.... (database flood ftl)
^ This the stunfisk always get me at the worst of time a PC Stunfisk thread would be awesome xD

Luckily when I type up a thread but accidentally do something like move to another page by accident backspace, I can press previous or next page button and it'll still be there.

Unfortunately it has happened to me a few time.... always that FML moment and then I don't bother to re-write that reply for a while

never. i used to be pretty well known for the tl;drs back in the day so i guess i can count myself lucky that i never lost them to a database error or whatever.

i did once lose the beginning of a novel i was working on though. we're talking seventy plus pages. hurt.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Yes, and it's so, so, so annoying seriously. The mouse on my desktop has a back button on it's side, so I always accidentally push it. :\
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

Yeah, I do that quite a lot. Especially in OVP lol, since I tend to make a lot of unneeded tl;drs in here.

Yes, it's happened to me before. Sometimes it's because I hit the wrong button or accidentially refresh the page; sometimes it's a fault of my internet crapping out just as I go to reply...

OMG that happens to me so much. That (insert bad word) Stunfisk pops up, which makes me hate it even more, I then cry and lose all enthusiasm to ever write tl;dr ever again.

This has actually happened to me once. >.< Afterwards, I lost all interest and enthusiasm to rewrite it all over again. =/ But I sucked it up and pushed through for a re-do. u_u Now I make sure to copy every once in a while what I just wrote in case of another mishap. xD

Yess! D:< I was writing a book summary on a word document (I didn't really write it, I copied and pasted them from like.. 4 different websites xD) I clicked the 'close' button because I thought I saved it. The warning box popped up, I clicked the 'Don't save' button so I had to do it all over again. >.<

I used to always lose huge school projects or PC tl;dr's all the time, it was so bad and frustrating. Ive gotten better tho to secure what im doing, whether that be saving every five seconds, copy and paste, copying multiple saves in different places (computer, memory stick, etc), etc etc

YES. I wrote a big 'ole paper on why Alexander the Great had a huge ego and I was really proud of it and it was due the next day and then I didn't save beyond the first paragraph when my laptop died :| obviously, I had no one to blame but myself but I was still so angry because I didn't find out about it until the morning of my class (which was 9am anyway) when I went to print it and the document was like "LOL HAY YOU FORGOT TO SAVE ME". I didn't get to turn it in. I was under the impression I had at least saved it more because I normally do but nope.

I've also had big, ranty entries on lj not save which is also a pain. But it's not nearly as bad as forgetting to save a paper.
