Many pages are saved as-is, links on most of them do not lead anywhere etc... But it is kinda one interesting time machine, to see what was happening back in 2009, 10, 11...

Heh, I can see that I was a recently joined member on one of the pages (February 7th), but no locating one of my posts yet.

[flighter]

Please explain, maybe I can help.

[Tsatu]

I know how to navigate it, it definitely isn't the easiest thing to navigate though. Somehow I did see a page where I was listed among new members for February 7th, but I didn't find it again.

[flighter]

Eh, that archive is quite frustrating. Most of topics have only the first and sometimes the last (few) pages functional...

[Kiyevanie]

Yeah - I thought it'd maybe a chance to save a few threads, especially of the RP forum, but nope, doesn't work.

[flighter]

Before creating this forum, I was going through the archives... and sometimes I could restore some shorter threads, but often 1 in 3 pages or less would work so there was no point in doing that all...

[Kiyevanie]

Yeah... it still bugs me that all that writing is lost in virtual space.

[flighter]

Well, certain people (hmmmm) maybe still have the backup...

[Kiyevanie]

Don't get me started on "certain people" or I'm gonna let out my inner Neytiri on them... and not the one from my picture, but the one with the fangs and the arrows.

Hmpf.

Anyway, Swotu, congrats on a new addition to your family

Cheers!

I love seeing the old site like this. This was even before I joined, so most of the members are not familiar to me.

Maybe the site will slowly come together by way of the Wayback Machine or something.

As Atokirina pointed out earlier, if I bring some old content here from the web archive, it could be against copyright rules favouring the owner of naviblue.com so that is the only reason I did not take action.

[Elyris]

Well that's ... kinda stupid.

[Kiyevanie]

If you could just give me a hint how to get there... I'd love to at least kinda make a backup of our RP and Story threads.

[flighter]

The issue is, many threads have first page working, sometimes the last, and once in a while SOME pages between... Now, site snapshots from some other dates could have some other pages working etc... So there IS some hope to recover great part of the site, but witha lot of manual work. The only thing preventing me from trying just that are possible legal consequences, should Swotu decide he wants to take action.

[Kiyevanie]

Alright, I get it... as some of those threads had really a lot of pages that's probably not possible anymore anyway.

[flighter]

Well, I would do it anyway... I'm not lazy for that, lol?

[Kiyevanie]

Mmmmhm, it'd still be some major pain in the txim.
