It deleted my game... Help?
I made a game I am very proud of, and 12three offered to suggest it to be featured once it would be a week old. So I made another game in the meantime, but I did not want to upload it at an odd hour, so I deleted it. When I checked the box to delete it, I noticed that the box of the game that was to be featured was also checked (for no reason). So I unchecked it--I'm 100% positive--and clicked the "delete selected projects" button. And it deleted my project...
Now I feel like * because it had a bunch of really nice comments on it that are gone, and now I have to wait another week to have it suggested to be featured. I was looking forward to the day when it would have been online for a week... I was really getting my hopes up 
.
Anyway, is there any way that somebody from the Scratch Team could un-delete it? Or could some one look into the problem (that the box was checked for no reason)? If it can't be added back, I understand, I guess :S... I just feel like * because I didn't have to stay up late to finish my new game and then delete it from the website.
sigh

I think there's a way of undeleting a project - simply upload with the exact same title, and the comments should all be restored

It works 
So, idkdude, simply reupload the project with the same name, and the comments will be restored. I'll go and test reuploading love-its...
