>>5769Unity here. Nobody told me anything about this.
We had an insanely bad spam flood that wiped every single board. Commenting upon it in the news page was egging them on. I opted to lock the site for a week. I quickly disabled the board lock and didn't receive any emails about site issues after that. I had simply assumed we'd lost users from the raid.
I've now discovered that there is a bug in tinyboard's board lock boolean. No matter how you set it–true or false–as long as the option exists in the instance config, it will always lock all boards. For any other administrators reading this, please comment out the option entirely after you are ready to unlock.
