Hey community,
The forums has been successfully updated to the latest version of vBulletin. And yes, I know. You might not really care ^_^.
However, remember the bonus I was talking about? You know? The one I've been posting about on the forums for the past week? Regarding the archives? Forums? Gone forever? Merge? Yes? Good. Because it worked. The annihilation of the forums? Not so much. The archive database that contained most missing threads and posts from 2001 to 2008 (roughly estimated, but heck, who keeps track?) has been successfully restored in the live forums! All those days working on the archives really paid up. And I say most (slash) mostly because there are still a few pages of threads that I couldn't recover.
Awww, yes.. I know.. but cheer up! Most threads (and I really mean, most of it) has been recovered without any problems! So what does this mean?! This means you can view all the old-school threads & posts on the forums, way back to the creation date of the forums. Entertain yourself or bring back memories of all that was once lost. Or take your time, it's not like they'll run away again.
Check this out!
Before:
And after:
I however do have a favor to ask. While most of the threads and posts were successfully recovered, there are a few side-effects.
- Duplicate users (With their starting name Imported_theirshinyusernamehere)
- Threads and posts that have a guest name but not having a profile.
- Avatar issues on the older users
- Duplicate (possible threads)
- And other issues I just forgot about..
The duplicate users that have an Imported_ username are very easy to fix by merging their accounts in to one. Yay!
The same with threads/posts that have a guest username, with this being an example:
They can easily be fixed as well by attaching the guest username to a profile. How cool is that?
In time however, everything will be solved. And remember the favor I asked above? If you'd be so kind to reply any kind of problems (which is most likely) I'll solve it as quick as possible. If a member has to be merged, please provide both profile URL's. The same for when you see a guest account which needs to be linked to a profile.
If you have any questions, comments, complaints, suggestions, I'd love to hear it.
Also, if any posts/threads are missing. Let me know! Just in case something horrible happened.
I thank thee, and enjoy the archives now being live on the forums!
