Tell me about all the times you forgot to back-up here! I know some people have some really rage-inducing stories, so unleash all that pent-up anger through use of storytelling of your most trying Minecraft moments!
this one just happened, if you see some of my other posts you can see i am starting another server. but here goes
ok a few years ago (i have been playing minecraft sense 1.5.1 aka 2013, but i didn't start multiplayer until last year) i joined a server (early in 2014) and i became friends with the owner and then the server shut down because someone donated 200 dollars and it turns out they stole the money so paypal took out all the money from the owners paypal and actually gave it a negative balance. this year i started a new server and it turns out he has soured over the last year because i gave him admin status on my server and he started acting like an a-hole to fellow members and staff. i removed him from console and ftp (he had ftp so he could configure the plugins, i kinda liked the setup he had on his old server) but apperently filezilla doesn't kick them off the server when you remove access because he DELETED the WHOLE SERVER. the worst part is that the last time i backed it up was a month ago, and the server had grown sense then. then not to help he keeps comming back on as other people (because he got all the account passwords and none of the other staff want to change their password) and keeps setting world edit and using the command //set lava,water,air to turn spawn into a giant obby monster. i decided sense most of my staff are inactive and the other admins are a-holes to start from scratch and make a new server using the config files as a base. however i am keeping a few of the staff (the really good ones)
i hope someone else out there has a better story then i do
-edit- i forgot to mention he also purges coreprotect
The computer I was running Minecraft on had a motherboard failure and completely crashed. Most files had been backed up periodically, except my .minecraft. I lost everything... worlds, screenshots, server files, everything. Not fun.

Hi.
Does anyone find it funny that the Minecraft forums still think that Minecraft is misspelled? Or is it just me?

did the motherboard failure fry the hard drive? because if it didn't why didn't you just put the hard drive in another computer?
I spent four hours building a giant castle, getting full enchanted diamond armor, and tons of awesome loot, then the game crashed and I lost everything.
