SL Forum Recovery Update

[Mercator]

Well?

[Mercator]

*Bumping it back to the first page*

I understand that it's probably busy now with Civ4 and all, but you knew that was coming months ago.

It's been over 6 months now since the forum crash. Is it really *that* hard to recover a forum? If it is, maybe you should be thinking about expanding the staff, because you're clearly too busy with other stuff.

[MarkG]

it's hard to find good and cheap labor these days

[Mercator]

Well, as much as I'd like to say otherwise, you're probably right.

[DrSpike]

Mark, could you appoint a minion to look after it? We all appreciate you are busy, but it seems harsh on those that contribute to making this site great with the work that they've done.

[Mercator]

Time for another *bump*

[Nikolai]

Poor Markos...

I am missing some things that existed before the crash:

Old GL
There was a subforum of SLeague that served as a GL. Many important links were there - I think they should be added here.

Hexediting
Also very important threads about hexediting appear to be unavailable:
You know Allard Hofelt wrote his hex-edit.rtf document (I have it on my harddrive).
Then AH started two threads which contained many corrections and new discoveries:
The thread Everything about Hex-Editing (but I don't know the link) and
Everything about Hex-Editing - UPDATED (this link doesn't work for me)
And recently Mercator and Yaroslav started a completely new document stored in one topped thread of the lost SLeague subforum.

I contributed to these threads but found no one of these 3 threads among my subscribed threads. So maybe they were lost during the crash? Can they be digged out? Or does anybody have their copy?
They contained a lot of info that were discovered by several people during a long period.

I'm not sure about the answer, Slowthinker. I fear that info will never be restored.

I see Mercator annoys well
But Markos has a thick skin (I just found it in my dictionary, in czech we say a skin of a hippo )

[Mercator]

Hmmm, thanks for that bump there Boco. I seemed to have finally forgotten about this thread.

Thank you SlowThinker. Not good enough, though, I'm afraid, or I wouldn't need to be annoying Markos anymore.

[Mercator]

*bump* to prevent this from falling off the first page.

[Harry Tuttle]

*bump* to prevent the Civ 2 Library of Alexandria from falling into the ocean.

[Mercator]

I suddenly remembered again...

[St Leo]

Markos, would it be easier for you to just dump the entire old forum to text files and hand those over? Those might prove just as useful for our purposes.
