That’s a good thing. Take that cosplayer wigger wearers!

But I don’t know if all you newfound Star Wars fans are a good thing…

Anyhoo, this definitely brings back memories, and Weeks’ summary of the situation is still hilarious:

Did this topic get purged or saved? Can a new link be fixed up

>>with the link to the old thread where it used to be? Here’s a full one as it worked back then, with a Post # also.

The end of the url number goes to a completely different thread:

Where it Also starts you automatically on page 3. For whatever reason.

I’ve noticed how much it has changed. I used to post quite a bit back in 2002 or 2003-2005. Around 2006 I started getting tired of message boards. But I’ve been wanting to get back into playing SF again, and decided to re-register to look for people in Houston to play. It’s good to be back!

Sorry, didn’t see this.

That syntax should make sense. Just use the old thread ID as the new discussion ID. You were using the thread ID as a comment ID, which won’t work.

Comment indexing is handled directly as comment references, as in

24 hour stream-a-thon and 1 last battle at FFA december 15th!

A link to a thread without specification of where you should start will default to starting you to where you last left off. Kinda weird, but they’re just trying to make it easier for you.

Holy crap a 10-year old thread LMAO

was the purge 12 yrs ago?

IIRC the first purge was the server crash in 2003. Then we had a much much later second purge in the XenForo to Vanilla switch 3-4 years ago, as closed ā€œSystemā€ accounts got purged and took their threads with them.

Ahh pre 2003 srk where only the strong survived.

also the era where fist fights ended arguments on the east coast.

Switching to Vanilla gave SRK aids, then Discord came along and gave SRK terminal Cancer with 3 months left to live.

The SRK purge was something else. LOL!!

looks around. Been a minute…

Talk about random! achan in the house!

Well I’ll be damned.
