I think I still have my old email somewhere from when I joined PWO's very first Forum as well. My god, was that so long ago now...

O.O Woah, that's nifty. I can't say I even remember what mine looked like.

Naero found an archive of the PWO forums from around the start of 2009, that I was looking through last night. So many memories from then, it was very nostalgic and funny to see our younger selves posting lol.
(Hence I dragged up my old forum avatar)

Hey if my not wrong then pwo forums errors are coming because forums are exceeding the given space limits of web host right?Arenya said:
And this is the reason i think by which pwo staff has to clear most of the old topics and posts.

The current PWO forums/server have no connections to the archived pages she is referring to. The library of the old archived pages are not stored in the current database; all of that material is handled by a 3rd-party storage, in a website named web.archive.org.
To explore the old forums archives she mentioned, here are various domain pages that have been archived:
http://wayback.archive.org/web/20091015 ... et/forums/
http://wayback.archive.org/web/20100601 ... yerdex.com
From the archived calender, you can click on various date versions of archived pages that the wayback's machine bot has been to crawl/recover. When clicking on the version, you can click on different forum sections/threads, but the content will only be viewable if the bot managed to recover/archive it - so unfortunately, not all content has been recovered. Also, content that required a login to access (such as profiles per se) has not been archived. From the header of these captured pages, you can also click on the previous/next dates to view older/more recent versions archived of it.
For players like me that lurked the forums in 2009/2010, I find many of this content nostalgic/memorable (albeit, I was mainly a lurker back then, so it's a rare sight to find any archived posts of my own. D
; and even content I can not recall first-hand is still interesting to delve in to and discover.EDIT: I'd also like to share ancient archives of the website and playerdex as well.
