So do premium members get access to the archives from the old board as well, or...?

Unfortunately we don't have those posts anywhere (I think).

btw, do we even use the announcement archives subforum anymore? there hasn't been a post there in 7 months

Hence they're called archives. We don't use the announcement forum anymore.

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

i still have some speed problems honestly

but far less than before, and that's good!

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

In the bottom part of the textarea box it there's a little thingy that you can use to stretch down the box to make it bigger.

2) You may notice some posts/topics from the days old are gone. We have purged them, however a new archive system limited to premium members (and mods/admins) will be created soon

oh great now I have to pay you money

I don't have any money!

Also the forums are like a speeding bullet now, good job Bart =D

This is tragic, because I'd actually buy premium to be able to access some old posts of mine and others from the old board. 'Cause that's when I was the most active on this board, and there are a ton of pictures and threads I'd like to recover from that time period.

Could I get a confirmation on the actual status of the old archive, since ramirez isn't entirely sure? (Bart, datz u)

I once asked Bart and he told me the archived forums were on a different server and they somehow got deleted/whatever, so yeah, they are gone now

So... about 400 posts have been deleted from my active history for a negligible increase in speed. Fair trade.

Are you serious? The forums were lagging for up to TEN MINUTES.

Actually it was a negligible increase of speed, considering the forums were AOK after the server swap. But I'm pretty sure he was kidding, and the forums needed a purge anyways.
