Any old-timers still on the board? I might need to borrow a nuke. ---

Look for anyone with the [Old Time CoGer](http://cog.discourse.group/badges/102/og-cog) badge. 🙂 There are a few of us around. Welcome back! ---

Are the old forums archived anywhere? I realize that '04 was a long time ago, but was hoping to hit up some of my old favorite threads for a re-read. ---

> [@Spidey](#): > > Are the old forums archived anywhere? I realize that '04 was a long time ago, '04 would be two platforms ago, IIRC. We had the [nanc.com](http://nanc.com) phpBB board hosted by Bob back then, then @Lee_Ars started hosting it on something else, then he moved us over here to Discourse. He may have backups somewhere but they’re probably not usable without redeploying everything else. ---

We went through two reboots and had to start over both times. A couple of people like myself saved a few specific messages they were interested in, but it wasn’t the whole database. ---

RRabbit42 and dak are correct. Although the printerer thread is still kicking around somewhere. 🙂 ---

I just found where I saved those files, way back at the end of March 2012. Some really good stuff in there, including the infamous “thong in the power supply” thread. ---

Printerer thread needs a seri-ass update! 😛 ---

Okay, you have GOT to share the “thong in the power supply” thread! ---

I haven’t seen Sev around for ages, and nobody else can really tell that story, so @RRabbit42 doing a copy/paste is probably the only way that will get shared. ---

I posted the thong story here, but decided it fit better over in “The Bitching Hour Strikes Again”, so head there for the tale.
