As I mentioned in the Level Jam thread, I've been having a LOT of issues with my current web hosts, and as a result, I've been left with no option but to move servers.
This will be happening today, so there will be some downtime during this period, and for some of you, the forum will be inaccessible for 24 hours, or so.
Please bear with us as we make this move - it's very last-minute, and had to be done quickly to minimise disruption.

I'm going to go and re-make my avatar, now, since I notice it's gone, and I foolishly didn't keep a copy of it.
EDIT: Apparently, I can't upload. Got the following message;

Looks like my capybara gentleman took some damage, so I'll have to reupload him again later.

Unfortunately, Clam, some ISPs take a little while to update - I've still not set up my email.. I've been focused on trying to get the site live. However, I shall send one this evening after email's active again!

there doesn't appear to be any attachments on this page (thought it appears like there certainly was as some point). Normally since this is old it wouldn't be a big deal but I was specifically looking through this topic to get replays and info for my community pack.

Maybe this is caused from something else but some attachments still seem to be missing;

I just finally noticed the same thing today (on a different thread) that möbius discovered months ago.
Any chance the missing attachments can be restored? Were there any previous forum upgrades/migrations/whatever that may have caused lost attachments on all forum posts from 2009 or earlier?

I discovered this problem earlier than mobius did, it was in a thread. The downloads must have gone missing since April of this year, when the server was moved. I hope they weren't deleted permanently though.

But AFAIK no one has actually heard back from Adam on this, so did it somehow fix itself, and why only partially? Very strange indeed...
[edit: actually, it looks like there may be no set date that determines whether attachments are gone or not. One thread I was looking at lost attachments earlier than July 2009, yet another one lost more until 2010.
So probably nothing changed with regards to the problem.
But at least no mystery after all.]

We now know that all the downloads in the Challenge category were restored I think.
No they weren't actually. I thought some were, but it just turns out that the cut-off dates between affected and unaffected post are different from thread to thread.

Here's an archive containing all the challenge replays that I have, it seems to be reasonably complete until late 2009: http://geoo.digibase.ca/lemmings/challengereplays.zip
I might or might not have more replays somewhere else, this is from an old backup harddrive which I came to use again when my computer died. In the meantime I restored that computer and its data, and on its harddrive there might be a more up-to-date collection.
