Sadly, it'll only work if you have a saved URL of the thread that was deleted.

However, we would need to somehow extract the URL of the original threads to find their contents.

This would probably be done by checking the history of the Board page

Example: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.bungie.net/Forums/top ics.aspx?forumID=1

Then selecting one of the more recent History Saves, and then right-clicking on the stickies to possibly find out their original address?

Then it's just a simple case of copying that address into the Archive once more, and then copying the information that was (possibly..depends on how long the thread was there for) stored there.

I managed to do it with my old thread, sadly last save was in April at some point.

My TUE Thread...still kinda all there.

Let me know fi this helps anyone at all.

Yeah, don't worry about him. He's just being a big fat meanie. >_>

As for reviving them, there isn't a huge need. I think we have most of it covered already. If any stickies come to mind that might be saved, sure.

Yeh, Pretty much what SS_Zag1 said.
If theres anything important then bring them back, if not them let them rot in the pit of the forums :P

Hmm...true, however, if there is ever a need - of course - this method could easily be used...could come in very handy in the future.

I'll save this thread in case it's required ;)

Thanks Stumps, I'll have a look into those later.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the exact title of the thread that was deleted? Was it the original TUE theory topic? I found another thread on the same subject, although, it was started more recently; not that long ago. It's probably no use or not what you're looking for.

Note: Why not restart the discussion?

That's what I would suggest. "Reviving them" to their original and full extent is truly impossible.

We already revived it in the Halo 2 Forum...but they were overrun with people who were totally against the idea...and posted thousands of quote pyramids...not a pretty sight...so we just retreated to a Group instead. And I reuqested the thread to be fully locked.

I'm actually really disapointed in the Bnet community ('cept those mature enough to podt in the Bungie Community and Underground Boards...I wish all the idiots would just leave.

Amen. If our sigs were still under our posts (not that I want them to be), your quote would be sigged.

That was a wise idea.

Are you allowing new members to join the group?

Browsing and taking part in the Halo 2 section, is sometimes like hacking your way through tall reeds with a large knife; you're constantly fighting off abuse to get a point or message through. Well, maybe it's not that bad, on the contrary.

We're allowing new members...but they can only be accepted if they suceed in answering, completing and passing a Test.
Makes it much easier to make sure we only have the right people in our midst. And it's not just TUE we're working on. We have organised plans for future projects, searches and possibly (the idea only just popped into my head) some videos also.

Well, as for the H2 and H3 Forums, I think it's plainly the people who want to put almost everyone down who get to me most...why bother joining if you hate Bungie or Halo?

-Wow-

Sorry, was about to go on a rant...*stops*
