I want my messages back. =( HELP.

[ChloChloAriadne]

I know a while ago, any messages over two years old were disappeareded.

I REALLY need one of them back, now.

I'm not sure of the subject, but it was from the user Prodigal Madness.

Could somebody please retrieve it? Somewhat urgent. =(

EDIT - Also, the ones in my outbox/'sent' folder.

When something's pruned from the server, it's gone forever. The only way to bring it back would be to restore the forums to an older version backed up on one of our harddrives, so everyone would lose a month's worth of posts just to retrieve one message for you.

Sorry, but it isn't really a viable option.

If I'm not mistaken, Fuzz or Merlin mentioned something about moving any important messages out of the Inbox/Sent folders and into the Saved Folder (you can also create other folders if you don't care for the name) before the pruning occurred. Only messages in the Inbox and Sent folders were affected by the message prune. I know that doesn't help you retrieve any old messages, but it is something you should consider for the future.

When it was being done, Fuzz said it was only soft-deleted and that anything missed could be refound...

Here -

"Yeah, as I said, if you do lose some PMs that you need, please just PM me and I can pull your pms from an old backup. So no worries if you don't see what you need."

It IS somewhat important, that's all.

At the time it happened I didn't have a computer available to me and I couldn't do anything. I would have saved the messages if it was possible, but it wasn't. At all.

Fuzz has the most recent backups on one of his drives. Send him a PM letting him know exactly what messages you need and he'll try to dig them up. I can't make any promises though.
