Or--hang on, did I accidentally delete all the carriage returns or something stupid like that in my original post? I hate when message boards process posts funnily.
Hey, I just thought of something: If it's really possible to restore the old message boards, then why couldn't CrankGod do that for just a moment, peek into the 24HoZZT topic to find the results, then put away the message board again?
WAY too much involved with backing up this forum, restoring the old one, and restoring the new one again, especially since the columns &c are much different.
I was just thinking that maybe you could make a hidden extra site for the old message board... But then, I've never worked with this phpbb/yabb/whateveritis forum stuff, so I'll stop making suggestions.
