Wow, I remember playing that game years ago. Where has the time gone?

The server move had nothing to do with it, the files were lost when the developers allowed them to be lost, as most of these things were being hosted externally by that point.
Also, On-Topic isn't the place for posts like this, as they're not relating to BYOND itself (the show-off topic is the one exception to this rule). I'm moving it to off-topic. | |

Everything was moved over, however a lot of free files were made inaccessible due to the addition of Membership hosting, there were quite a few cases of people retrieving their files after the fact by request.
Not sure if said files are still backed up anywhere though. | |

I pray that they were, although I worry that they may be lost forever at this point. who would be the person to send one of those requests to? | |
I'm not really sure at this point, I'd imagine they're stored somewhere but I'm sure if it would be something Lummox has access to easily or if it would need to be brought up with Tom.
I'm not sure it's something that would be worth either of their time right now, though. | |

make sure when you're recording the history of byond you include me and developous in it
the tale of our efforts to unite all games is one that must be passed down for generations | |
