Probably a few people are going to ask, so I’ll be the first. The announcement described the old forum as being ‘frozen’, but the hyperlinks don’t work so it makes me think it’s ‘deleted’
Is there any chance anything could be recovered? Just because across different sites my stuff linked back to HMF threads which had for example lists of contracts hyperlinked individually with beautiful formatting; the H2 Modding Thread was also a good resource for anyone who wanted to get into modding
If an admin has access to an old thread but can’t make it go live, I’d still take a copy-paste of like my Modded Contract Pack thread OP with all its links and formatting, which the Steam Guide and Discord links back to, if possible (which I assume it’s not, but hey never hurts to ask)
If someone absolutely needs access to something from the previous forum I will be willing to look into solutions at the time, though I can’t keep the server running indefinitely (it would cost waaaay too much) and I would prefer to address it at a time that is not Christmas.
Are you able to recover DMs? They’re kinda especially important (for me at least) as I’d like to use my own DMs as reference points, documentation, nuanced discussion, etc.
That would be appreciated. Only problem halting the “read only” status would be people posting in the archive, ruining the integrity. Unless of course you can halt just the posting while letting people login. That seems to be a pretty good viable option for most niche scenarios.
Ohhh wow I’m blind, for some reason I thought that was the person who was stumping up the money for the prize (a colleague of yours). Congrats to GrimCyanide!
