Do you still have any files left from the original system? Do you still have the backup?

There's still some posts I really want to get back, and with each passing day the chances of someone finding them through E-mouse's method become grimmer. I know someone on another board who seems to know about phpbb and might be able to reconstruct them if they're still on your hard disk in any shape or form. (Actually, I already asked him to email you as soon as I saw your announcement when the forums where down. Did you conciously decide that there's nothing he can do to help, or did it get mistaken for spam?)


(And no, I'm not going to stop whining until someone recovers these threads in some way or another.)
