Eh, it was a pain, but I have the whole story in a word doc complete with UBB tags, took about a half-hour to repost since December (oddly enough the ENWorld 30-seconds-between-posts rule accounted for most of the time). I would prefer to have all my comments back, naturally, so I'll avoid gnashing my teeth if it turns out my efforts were for naught.
Wasn't May 8 a day AFTER the site went down?
