Hi there. I would like to recover all the old threads that I made. This is for nostalgia purposes mainly. Thanks in advance.

This is just for moving threads in the archive back into active for posting. You can still view all the threads in the archive, you just can't post in them.

If you can't find them anywhere they're probably gone for good.

What he said ^^

You can see any thread you created here: http://forum.team17.com/search.php?d...&starteronly=1 - you've only posted a few that are locked away in the archive (anything in Games Discussion basically).

There was a database prune a couple of years ago that resulted in the loss of posts from about 2006 and older. This was necessary due to a major fault with the database that was causing it to corrupt every week. These posts are not possible to recover.

Ah that's a shame. It would've been nice to see them again, but hey, we can't have it all! Thank you both for your help.
