Sure, there've been tons of threads started in the last 5 months that we'll never see again, but I think I can arrive at a general concensus that the saddest casuality of the site crash was the "Gary Gygax: Part X" thread.
I didn't check (not familiar with the content of the thread), but I'm pretty sure that all pages will show up...
Really? That's good news!
I was actually wondering if it'd be possible to attempt a reconstruction of the thread. Many many times, a thread response will be copied to my hotmail inbox. Sadly, I delete most of them. However, I'll bet there are those of us who do not delete ANY of them!

Howdy!
Actually, the CZY work is quite adaptable to the AD&D game, so of course
Hackmaster should serve.
I am coordinating some 20 freelance writers in their efforts to detail the
town's 19 sectors as well as five suburban areas. Three town districts are
completed now, one accepted for publication and two in process of content
editing. When the whole shebang is completed the place should be ideal for urban
adventuring and PC enterprises in town, in its outskirts, as well as throughout
the whole of the Eastmark.
All the material on Google is sans text...lost in the crash I assume.
Try to "select" the text. I noticed in some other threads that I was interested in, the text was black for some reason (in the cache). I could select the text (for the opposite contrast), to read it. Or, copy/paste into an unformatted editor.
Let's not completely give up on it yet. There is some background discussion of a newer copy of the d-base, so we may yet have most of the discussion. I'd hold off on Cataclysmic revelations until the database situation is completely 100% settled, first.
Have faith, hope, patience, and a couple of prayers handy, and we'll let you know if there's more to be said.

Ah, that's good to hear Henry: I wasn't aware that everything hadn't been confirmed at 100% lost. Have you guys looked at contacting the ezboards technical team to see about how they were able to try to recover lost content in their sem-recent-ish big crash? IIRC, they hit google cache, as well as the internet archive to try to recreate/recover as much content as possible.

In that you possess astute, sage-like abilities, this question struck me the other day as being highly "askable": When you were forumulating D&D in the early 70's, did the concept of "The Internet" ever become something you foresaw?
