Ooh, beautiful badges, Leatho.

@James Gryphon: Who are the blue paw print and abbey artist ones for?

[James Gryphon]

We haven't awarded those to anybody new (yet), but will probably get some more of those, and perhaps another behavior award, out no later than within the next few weeks.

@Leatho Shellhound: These badges are, as you would call 'em , swell! Brilliant work, and thank you!

[Leatho Shellhound]

Thank you truely!!

.....as you would call 'em , swell! .....

Haha yes! It makes me happy that you noticed my common word usage.

[Skyblade]

I'm glad


I just want to reiterate how much my award means to me. Thank you very much, truly

[Lord Daskar]

Congratulations new winners.

[Jukka the Sling]

I didn't expect to get an award!   Thanks so much!

[The Skarzs]

Neither did I.

In the meantime, I'd like to encourage our writers and artists who still have copies of work they published on the old forum to post it up here. Our memories aren't so good as they could be, and it's probable that those who invested a lot of work into the old forum haven't been acknowledged as much as they should have been because of the Crash.

Dang, that's really the worst part about all this. Anything on the old forum is practically gone forever (or at least, a really long time). Especially if you have no backups. (*cough*Deathspear*cough*)

Anyway, suppose I should put a positive spin on this. Congrats, everyone. You deserved it.

Have you tried using the wayback machine? If the page is saved, it might be possible to access some of your old works.

[Skyblade]

That wayback machine is bittersweet. I found one in which I was Season Namer and another when I posted in 2012.

Congrats to the new winners! Keep doing what you do.

[Groddil]

Welp, thanks for the help, Izeroth, but it doesn't work for me. The two most recent snapshots are:

1. A week or so before I joined.
2. In december, when the forum was down.

Nothing in january, where I'd finished my stuff, or even anything where I had parts of it posted.

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Congratulations to you all! I know that each and everyone one of you deserve it. Now I have something in common with you all  .

[Jukka the Sling]

@Groddil:  Just saying, the way the Wayback categorizes snapshots is kinda weird.  "redwallabbey.com/forum" and "redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php" count as two completely different urls, for example, unless you choose to crawl all urls under that domain.  Try this list.  I don't know if it's possible to search for keywords or not, but you might be able to find it.

EDIT:  If you type in "topic=" without quotes in the search box right by the list, it should bring up only saved topics, not avatars or anything else, so that's handy.

[Jetthebinturong]

The stuff I want most was in Secret Hideouts but you can't log in.

Congratulations to all the people with awards.
