• Not all of my posts archived

    I just finished migrating my xanga blog to Wordpress when I noticed that all my old posts were not archived. I know I had posts prior to June 2004.

  • Hi there,

    It looks like your account was created in March 2004. I asked our tech team if any posts have been reported missing and the only posts that have been reported are posts made the last week of August 2013 right before we migrated to the Wordpress platform.

    Do you recall any other accounts you may have had or if those early entries might have been deleted?

    Thanks,
    Eugenia at xanga.com

  • I definitely had posts on this account from March 2004. I don't recall deleting them. If anything I would have set them as private like many of my other posts.

  • I've asked about the possibility of recovering your posts. Hope to hear back soon. Thanks for your patience!

  • I'm beyond devastated about this. I had 2 accounts, I was with Xanga from the very start, when every single user knew every single user, because it was just starting out. I spent 10 years off and on Xanga, but the majority of my posts were from 2005 and back and those were enormously important posts. My life was in those posts, my poetry, my writing, my entire heart and all 3 of my accounts did NOT have full archives.

    BrooklynHeart / PlanetDream / Mugzee

    Additionally 99.99999999% of all my pictures stored are gone as well. I knew John when the site just opened - wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before there were countless users and I would address him as a friend ... then Xanga exploded and became bigger and bigger and having a one on one with John became impossible, but it didn't matter, what he had created was the most unique and most wonderful place on the Internet. In 2006 I kind of lost my muse so to speak, a lot of bad things happened over the past 7-8 years of my life, horrific things, heart breaking things and at the time that Xanga was apparently letting users knows what was going on (btw - an EMAIL to all of the old Xanga users would have been nice), in the Summer of 2013, my mother was paralyzed and suffering in incomprehensible pain and fear, and she passed in November 2013. I had NO WAY of knowing what was happening or that I needed to immediately save all of my old writings/posts, original artwork (and there were COUNTLESS) and only saved on Xanga's site and now my archives are obviously missing ALL of the artwork, none of the skins I made, which were beautiful graphic art skins that I put my heart into are in my photo manager and as I said, on all 3 of my sites, one which eventually became a memorial site for my life long friend who died, are GONE.

    A near decade of my life, all on Xanga, GONE. Why weren't there emails sent out to the original users, to EVERY user who had an email address connected to their account, which ALL did, it was a requirement.

    I'd like some answers, I'd like to know what happened to ALL of my pictures, graphic art and skins - as well as ALL of my posts, YEARS worth, and if there is any chance of you guys getting them to me (be honest - I'd rather have my heart fall while hearing no - than be told yes and it not be true).

    All 3 of my accounts are linked to the same email address - it's either BrooklynHeart@aol.com and/or KimberlyRoad@aol.com.

    Once again - My Three Sites Are:

    BrooklynHeart / Mugzee / PlanetDream

    I can't believe John would do this without emailing out to every single user about what was going on, giving everyone, especially their original users who poured their heart and soul out on Xanga the heads up and allowing them to save their posts and pictures.

    Very upset.
