The pictures never worked on ours. We manually created the database from scratch, I'm not sure if I could "trick xenforo" into taking old backups.

Issue is the old servers gone, I'm not staying here more so with the freak show that caused me to leave still firing without care.Yeah, it's great to see it back up, just wish any page would load. haha
The issue with the .org clone is the guy didn't keep the ID's from AG.com, The one he has post 1 could be post 55 where's post 1 on the one we had is still post 1.I'll try to look into my own backup. Remind me via PM in a few days if I haven't updated you.
How legal or not would hosting the backup on GitHub be? So that we can collaborate on fixing stuff?
Turns out that I'm not sure if I backed up all of AG or only my PMs.The pictures never worked on ours. We manually created the database from scratch, I'm not sure if I could "trick xenforo" into taking old backups. I think I have 8GB of attachements still.

We made sure every id matched unless the script we had coded messed any up. this means if you wanted

If there's enough demand I'll sort another VPS but the main concern is if the new owner once found will be able to afford. So I stuck it on the CDN which isn't designed for loads like this. The VPS we had before had 8GB ram where's this only has 4GB and it also lacks an SSD.
I'm unsure if they would let us host the MySQL database, on top it's under a paid XenForo license which means I can't legally post files from XenForo, at best I could convert it to PHPBB or something from this. Database itself is easy, I just remove the login info/ip logs. But it'd mean converting it back to HTML would be a real pain.Turns out that I'm not sure if I backed up all of AG or only my PMs.
In any case, hosting the backup on a github repo should be feasible no?
I'm thinking this: https://pages.github.com/
Microsoft owns github now, so their servers should handle that just fine. Plus, if people want to take a look at the pages and fix stuff, they could do that and submit pull request.
IMO just a static HTML website would be fine. Just like a WGET dump.I'm unsure if they would let us host the MySQL database, on top it's under a paid XenForo license which means I can't legally post files from XenForo, at best I could convert it to PHPBB or something from this.

I'm not sure how feasable it would be to convert to simply HTML when we have wgets etc. The idea of this was always to keep info readable in as basic means as possible. phpBB whild I dislike it could work maybe. I think it may even allow HTML so posts would show better. I guess I'll order another VPS tonight and look better.
We did that the first time, then users moaned it wasn't searchable. Which lead to a fully custom system that overloaded so we just moved it to xenforo.IMO just a static HTML website would be fine. Just like a WGET dump.
GitHub host projects with no limitation to size as long as they are public and legal.
Searchable? Goodness, they can't just let google search it? "Atari Jaguar 123456 site:assembler-backup.com"We did that the first time, then users moaned it wasn't searchable. Which lead to a fully custom system that overloaded so we just moved it to xenforo.
Seem's the server we used to have for this is no longer sold and the next one near to it's specs is double the price. I'll look into maybe trying MyBB it seems that works, phpBB doesn't have a means to convert from what we use. Other worry about releasing an almost intact clone is people making AG fakes. We've already got people trying to steal OG and it's users over stuff they're to thick to read about.
I’m unsure whats going on currently on a bus to get a tooth repaired. From what i can access on phone no staff have. It appears there maybe a bug in the warnings system the user will be removed until I am homeI think I've just experienced some of this drama in this thread.
If this is some admin or mod abusing his powers I'm gone.
Thanks for clearing that up Damien. Top job.I’m unsure whats going on currently on a bus to get a tooth repaired. From what i can access on phone no staff have. It appears there maybe a bug in the warnings system the user will be removed until I am home
Yeah it never had any it's too complex to manaully add them, we have 8GB of attachments with correct id's and it's in the wget releases too but if something is important I'll try manually finding.Doesn't want to load for me at all. I'm trying to find one darn thread too, because the archive I found has no pictures.
The bummer to this is XenForo only allows one prefix. I've often suggested making a proper marketplace/classifieds for OG but nobody's really bothered.This may seem really obvious but if people are interested in buying and/or selling stuff it might be helpful if they actually displayed (or included in relevant thread/post) their country or at least region (eg North America, Europe). Why you would want to omit that information with the world the way it is at the moment is beyond my understanding.
Sorry this happened, it seems I made a mistake (or one of the older staff) and left warning perms on retail. I disabled that, banned the user for a week for impersonating staff. RacingFreak revoked the warnings given as I couldn't do due to poor signal.Thanks for clearing that up Damien. Top job.
This was requested on the Discord, just nobody ever added prefixes to their threads. If you click the prefix at the top of the forum it wouuld display just those threads. I'm manually editing each page of threads to correct this.Why were all the development sections merged? Now it is a huge clusterfuck checking for old threads for system specific stuff.
The Programming And Development section was very under used even after merging all the different systems it only has 404 threads in it
We have streamlined the forum experience by either merging or completely removing some sections
