OMG MY POSTS ARE GONE

[dakdak99]

I'll just post this now for all those who will be doing this in the coming days. "Oh no! All my posts are gone! What happened?!?!" OMFG IH8UALL WTF GEEZ

Answer: new forum software, and yes, you were in fact all warned that this would happen with big red letters and several warning posts.

TL;DR: you should really take more time to read warning posts. You're welcome.

While I agree with your sentiment, a lot of great discussions happened over the week it took Paradox to transfer these forums.

I wonder if it is possible for them to migrate those posts as well?

Oh no! All my posts are gone!

Wait... didn't have any posts to begin with.

I might have lost a few that they told me I would lose. What is the big deal?

 

[dakdak99]

Ingtar - I was being facetious, trying to head off the inevitable few who didn't pay attention and would post something like this. I'm hoping that they won't post after seeing this discussion.

Hah, seems very unlikely.

This place is a minefield for grave diggers.

How dare they inform us of this pending disaster!

I don't know if they're going to try and migrate posts made during the dark ages (transfer process). Originally they said they wouldn't, but bearing in mind the huge interest and activity around Skylines they might take another look (the forum transfer was already delayed a week due to Skylines unanticipated success).

In the meantime, the old forums are still accessible for browsing here: http://oldforum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forum.php

I actually have like 400 more than I did before! It was because the forums could not locate my account. Instead it found my older, original account, which I had used more (they are both linked to the exact same email). I have no idea how this all happened but its kinda funny.

Don't worry, I doubt they can even find the place now! Ha ha! My bookmarked links no longer work, nor does Google bring up the new forums yet. So you just get a "unable to load page" error when trying to open up any of the old ones.

 

[Shiggs]

google will find it if you clear your cache.

they said they weren't migrating the last week's or so worth of forum activity.

Not really, I read somewhere that Johan migrated one of the DDs that was published last week.

Translation: "neener neener haha." I think this *could* have been a meaningful, helpful post, but instead you spent more time insulting people then being informative. You're also preemptively assuming people need you to point out the obvious.

I will say, I like the new *dislike* button for posts like these.
