So now you are whining in multiple threads? You know that everytime you post, it raises the thread (and your username) to the front of that section, right?

Look, there's a fine line and a careful balance of jokes, jesting, insults, and just plain rudeness. You are on the wrong side of the line right now. Eventually you will find your way.

I'm being really nice even talking like this and not just giving you a 3-day ban (which would probably solve everything). Kahuna would have probably banned you already but he's likely enjoying watching you continue to make dumb posts.

The times,they are a-changin'

Wow,been gone too long,and there's a regieme change.So far the changes look good.
Thanks Hack for this site,it helped me out a lot,especially with much needed parts.Good luck Helena,now you'll have an idea of what female reporters endure in NFL locker rooms...:D

Back on topic,almost all of the data is being restored,which is great,there is prolly something I was once looking for. As far as other changes,let's see if it has matured and mellowed like fine wine,or if it will be "business as usual".

Oh yes,it will be interesting indeed.

Yes, unfortunately we will not have the chance to include data from computers which get never connected to the internet. But from our authorization system we know that this is the case for less then 2% of all computers which run Live so we hope this will not bias the data to much.

i answered this in another section sorry.

They are still breaking it down. it needs to be converted and takes a lot of time. we had to outsource it, but he is contract and has other things to do so it will take time.
So... it's been three and a half years since that update... how's the old info coming along?

This is the latest update. I have been badgering them about it behind the scenes. This was posted 6/23/14 in the mod section. Evidently it needs to be converted again...

From Richard this morning:

Hi Alan,

We have located some content that is older than 8/6/09. It will likely require a custom conversion tool to make accessible to the community again. And we won’t have time to start working on these conversion tools until sometime next week. The good news is though we will likely be able to bring some older content back for them in July.

Thanks
Richard

I think a lot of the older info is still missing as I know my brother was a member here but has not been on for several years. Was wanting to find some of his post for contact info burt I guess that is not going to happen.

Hard To Believe -

- coming up on 9 years since the changeover. I could swear I've gotten web search results resembling old BBS style format of pre-'09 threads, but wondering status of any/all recovery of great data loss (actually, intentional deletion) on this forum.


Oh BTW and FTR, this thread = winner of best facsimile of a Misc thread NOT in MISK.

There is a lot of pre July 2009 information. Just go to Forums and pick a topic, then go to last page. In the topics I have checked they work back to 2000.


The issue is the time period around July 2009. Try to look at some posts and there is no data.


I too have found the worm hole of text only forum.


The real problem seems to be the Google Custom Search. It seems to like new posts over old ones. It will refuse to show old posts but will show unrelated new stuff. I have had to use outside search engines to "re find" old posts. On some things I have just had to read post topics and then read the ones that might help.
