It was a dark time for the forums.

A lot of games that were going back then ended with the database crash. Luckily, I was able to get mine restarted. Still, it was a bit of a setback.

I remember the Crash. A good game around an investigation was running and we lost some clues, destroy by the crash

. Luckily, a post that I took over 2 hours to write down with all the clues I had is still there.

I wish we still had the "Download Thread" tool...that was highly useful. I used to download the contents of the game threads into text form and store them on my PC, just in case anything like that happens again. Unfortunately, that tool was removed a couple of site upgrades ago.
