The old thread IDs usually map to current thread IDs, so you can use base

to find some threads. Other threads are harder.
HOWEVER. During the transition from ⦠vBulletin to ⦠XenoForums (I think) some older dead accounts got converted to dead accounts. Then when we upgraded to Vanilla those dead accounts got converted to SYSTEM accounts. Due to a bug in Vanilla, those accounts could be logged into and updated by anybody and so threads got thrashed. As part of cleanup, all threads created by long dead accounts got purged and are gone forever from SRK. So. I donāt know what thread youāre talking about. Some will just be gone, such as the PNWās legendary GET TO KNOW A NEGRO⦠BETTER! thread. rip :sad:
edit: The Wayback Machine can be used to find some if they donāt exist on SRK any more. :\
Nope, didnāt work?
That last thread was the HSF2 Bad Games Thread or something from 2006 I think⦠With Original Don, Beef Bowl, and that guy that used WW Guile and only used jab, dizzy, jab, redizzyā¦
Whatās the actual old URL for this missing thread?
Thatās a good thing. Take that cosplayer wigger wearers!
But I donāt know if all you newfound Star Wars fans are a good thingā¦
gonna geek this place up with your full body animal hair suits :wasted:

Anyhoo, this definitely brings back memories, and Weeksā 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? Hereās 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.

Iāve 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 Iāve been wanting to get back into playing SF again, and decided to re-register to look for people in Houston to play. Itās good to be back!

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 wonāt 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 theyāre just trying to make it easier for you.

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 āSystemā 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.
