Subject: Finding old Zanzibar Threads?

Le Mediocrity. It's fun when we win, and funny when we lose!

Is there a way to do it, or are they gone? My b.net group got started through some old Zanzibar threads, and it's a bit of our history that we liked to look back on now and then. But now a piece of our history is inaccessible?

So is that that? I just read that they were all moved into New Mombasa, but does that mean that they have new url's?

Zanzibar was getting old, anyway. It was the same threads, the same flames, every week.

wow dude, you can't come up with anything good to say so you fabricate something someone else said? That's weak. I'd say like your mom, but damn, that is something i'd not discuss with your dad so near...in the other room, in fact. For obvious reasons.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

Zanzibar had 3 million posts in it. By itself. It was by far the largest forum of the thousands of forums on bungie.net as a whole.

Technically it is just disabled, and not deleted. Yet. Deletion will happen the next time we do a site update, when traffic isn't so high. On our test server, it took 40 minutes to delete that forum, so, as you might imagine, we didn't want to do that during E3.

That being said, there are currently no plans to make any of that content accessible. 99% of it is old cruft, and the 1% that is interesting is not worth the immense time and effort it would take to extract all that data.
