Wow... if you poke around in there, you can get back to an old version of the Handy Links thread... and most of the links in it actually still work!

Some really old stuff actually still works.

We should add this to the current handy links on the char op board.

Heck, I'm tempted to just wipe out my current handy links on 339 and replace it with a link to that archive page.

I'd personally suggest retrieving and backing up anything you love.
Reposting is the only way to be sure what happens to the archives.

Very true.  Wasn't there a thread early after the conversion that was gathering various old threads and also noting which ones were lost?

Reposting or backing up many of them in some form is probably the best idea.

Anyone have a link to the "Breaking the Core" thread?

Luckily that one has been bumped enough times ...

mmm Kay ... I found that psly4mne's Monty is still White Screen of Death. That sucks.

But this does give a time reference for this ~snapshot, of shortly before the gleemax changeover to the new edition.
Of course there are some individual dates buried in there, which would truly date this.
Old CO had taken a dive at that point, and Meg had this board up and running.

So ... this just leaves some limited WSoD threads. (still happy)

Nitecyper - on rare occasions, I find that google gets into the webarchive.org. Rare. That's all I got.

trappedslider do you have more info ??

Dang - the link isn't working anymore.

Boo - bad wotc.

Guess I was right. Safest place is to completely repost the things.

Knock yourself out, buddy. (http://web.archive.org/web/20071015193017/http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=221737)

If necessary, you can use the upper bar that wayback adds to navigate to newer ones, but the most recent, at least, is a redirect to the page not found thing that WotC set up.
