    I assume that's what Luds was referring to on the last post on the Update thread (before the old forum got shut down).

    Sorry brohim, I can't ;)
    I think we may have a Read Only archive but I'm not certain.

    Are they? I have a whole movie list of what I watched this year that I intend to update. But it's only on MI6.

    So. MI6 has been facebookized.

    I hope it's archived! Too many threads/posts to list that shouldn't be lost!

    EDIT: Also, how do you deleted posts? XD

    I need that damn list! I thought they meant save Private Messages. I was told to save messages. I didn't read it as posts. I always thought they've just lift the thing over to a new place. We have long-running discussions and so forth.

    It's the opportunity to rebuild a new community though, that's pretty cool.

    Another thing. We can only edit a post for 24 hours?

    @Luds But are we gonna get those old posts?

    Still, so much left behind. A huge part of the past 9 years is now lost. What a shame.

    Yeah it's too bad, the DB was massive, couldn't be converted

    Oh God. I don't want to start bitching right off the bat, but I have an awful feeling about this development.

    Well, how can I get that list? Is there a way? I need that damn list!

    I'm waiting for Lazenby to post a theory about how this new facebook-esque format is designed to appeal to the so called "LOLZORZ generation". ;)

    Well, I don't know. Got to get used to it I suppose.

    Luds, please tell me I can get that list. Nobody told me the DB would be nuked! That was totally unclear!!!

    GFD it!

    Well. Wish we had been told about this. This is Moore. For some reason I can't access my old username. That leaves me slightly annoyed. Anything the mod's can do about that for me?


    If I had known this was being deleted I would have access and saved all the old MI6 Fan Fiction Interviews which are now lost.

    Shame we were not informed. At least I did not see anything about it. Lot of hard work into that. I appreciate the move and the change, but a heads up would have been a general courtesy.

    Indeed Sir Hilary. Also is the forum format not able to have space in usernames? My own, Tux and Sir Hilary's no longer have spaces between.

    I agree. I'm heartbroken if I lost that list. If I don't get it back I may quit the site. I don't like this.

    Correct

    Could it be that you've used a different email on MI6forums?

    The name I can live with. I just want that list of films I've seen this year. That was a project that I had worked on.

    Okay, this is bs. Looks like Twitter or some giant Facebook set-up. Or the imdb boards. Character limit on posts? Lol. See ya round.

    Well, this is... different.

    Guess I'd qualify as new then? ;)

    I'm with Tux on this. I don't mind the change. That's cool, whatever. But I wish we could have been told what to expect and recover what we needed.
