[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 2821927, member: 11146"] If you write a script to repost all the posts in this database made from the start of this db's use forwarded into the new server, what will happen for those cases where old and new threads bear the same title? To provide a concrete example, I had a thread before the crash entitled CB's City of the Spider Queen v3.5. The thread was the in-character thread for a play-by-post game that I DM. I waited a day or so after the crash to make sure that we were, in fact, sticking with the db from 29 Dec 05. Once I saw the thread in Meta announcing that the EN World admin wouldn't be able to retrieve lost data, and had scoped out EN World's homepage for the general announcement dated Thursday re: the same, I went ahead and created a new in-character thread for my City of the Spider Queen game. And, you guessed it--I gave it the exact same title as the old one. What effect, if any, will duplicate threads have on thread restoration? Thank you, kind sir, for taking time to answer questions. I do appreciate your effort and time. [/QUOTE]
