current board versus old board
« on: 17 December 2024, 10:44:44 »
Are the old boards permanently gone/vanished/destroyed/deleted?

Or is there an archive of sorts that can be accessed?

Looking for old things, and wondering if any of the myriad of information, fanficition, insightful discussions, and whimsical inanity can ever be accessed again?

There was a massive hack of the boards in 2011 that resulted in the total loss of all material from 2001-2011.  I believe it was ultimately traced back to Lithuania, which resulted in the source city being hit with a nuke during Case White.

Some of us were able to salvage a few things from the temporary archive that was created, but it was shutdown eventually and was still missing stuff.

I'm sure the Lithuanian hit was just a proxy for something further East...
