Was the old forum (archives) deleted?
« on: April 03, 2009, 03:22:43 am »
I ask because I'm trying to navigate back to find a certain thing that would've only existed pre-change but I can't get to them. Any links to the old forum are dead or broken. Can someone confirm or deny this?

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

All of the posts exist here (to my knowledge, and sometimes clipped/distorted), but the cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi links are dead -- part of the problem with the old forum is that it was very hard to move the tens of thousands of files that forum created, so it was erased when I gave up the old Verio account.  Now everything is nice and happy in a database.  You'll have to try the forum search function, for example, to find old posts.  A poster's post history should also work if you know who was involved, though the dates couldn't be preserved so old posts are in semi-random order.
