| Is any of the information from before the upgrade still stored in the old database and can it be archived for us to peruse?

| | I would be very interested to see if this was available, too. There was a lot of good stuff there, as well as some cool pic threads that I would like to see again. I would even like to see access to the original archived material from the beginnings of maxminis (I'm guessing that would be before the first great conversion). | |

| I found a couple backups I made of the old databases and I have posts back to September 9th, 2003 (!). I have to write a front end to show the data. My plate is pretty full right now with some new content thats working but not on here yet, updates to the minigame, and some more additions for the h/w data if LCS has them. LCS you want to write the front end?

I haven't the time to do any work on this, so unless Host has been putting something together, there hasn't been any progress.
Sorry.

It's definitely going to be at least a few months, but I don't have a definite ETA.

My off-topic post might be a tiny bit useful in that regard.

Well, I have been thinking about how it would be implemented, and have a few questions that could be loosely construed as progress 
Is your interest mostly for the sake of just browsing through old threads more or less chronologically, or were you hoping to search for specific topics or posts by specific users?
Would a search that only includes old thread titles (if and when they still exist) be useful, or is it too limited to be worth the work?

| I was thinking of just browsing. A search would probably not be of much use for me, but perhaps others would want that.
I wish I knew anything about making this happen. If I did, I'd volunteer to help in a second. | |

At the moment, the only computer I could use to develop a module for DNN (the software the forums are running on top of) is boxed up since I don't have space for it. I'm a Mac person, and my laptop isn't new enough to have an intel processor, so I won't be able to run Windows to develop and test DNN code until I have my iMac set up and running again.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I do intend to work on the module to access the old backup once I get myself set up again.

Looks like Lynda Carter to me. I forget where I found it. It was being used as an avatar on another message board somewhere.
Might be her stunt double. I really don't know

Hey there, Jim. I have that -Lance- saga archived in PDFs. It was so long--over a hundred printed pages. If you really want to read it, email me and I'll get you a copy somehow.
I'm not at MM anymore these days (just here now on a lark)...hope you're well!
