I see the board is back, but...

[Lee]

please don't tell me that all 30,000 plus posts have been lost.
It will just be too painful to think of all that great info. as
being lost. http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/frown.gif

Of course I don't know anything about this BBS software, but if the programmers encoded the message identifiers using signed 16-bit integers, then the wraparound point is at 32767 messages...

...so would that still be recoverable?

It's a relief to have it back, anyway. As I posted to c.s.i.p.g.w-h <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>It's as though the corner bar just closed, and I'm sitting out on the sidewalk drinking out of a paper bag, waiting for the other regulars to show up. Wretched state of affairs.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>This also shows the need for a rally point when the operation goes sour (Ambush 101), which should be combathq or c.s.i.p.g.w-h.

I thought maybe it was cancelled because of the spontaneously-developing CM convention in Vegas http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/smile.gif !

I couldn't reregister with either my name that I was using, or my 'home' email address http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/smile.gif

Nah, I'd bet money that it's backed up, and if not...oh well, **** happens unfortunately.

Interesting. If, when you first registered, you told Windows to remember your password and put it in automatically, you're fine.

[Thomas William Davie]

Ah, but Doug I did tell Windows 98 to remember my password. And then, when I was officially finished with the Windows 2000 beta test at work, I instakked it on my home PC. So there's my problem http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/smile.gif

Can't help with the log-on, but the good news is that the threads are still out there. Somewhere.
Try searching for a topic you know will generate hits ("Maneri" for eg http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/biggrin.gif ) and you'll see hits from the last month and year.
Bad news is you have to know what you're looking for, or what it might be aliased with, but still, its better than that they just vanished!

Regards
Jon

Was there anything wrong with the board during the weekend? Looks quite normal to me at the moment.
And if there was, I'm glad I didn't have internet access then http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/biggrin.gif

[Stalin's Organ]

Bump in response to "In search of..." - here's a tantilising hint that The First Thread may yet be found.

[Maximus]

Ahhh, this is a thread from the time I lost my original name of "Wehrmacht" because I tried posting when the server was down and it lost myregistration info when it tried to update my post number. At least that's what Steve or Charles said back then.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Does it mean that Thomas William Davie is God? Or if not God, then Satan?

More like Satan. Since he uses three names he is either a serial killer or a presidential assassin.

Naw, everybody knows Berlichtingen is the Horned One. This Davie guy must be some kind of NSA spook...
