A while back when I was getting the "server too busy" messages, I was able to access some of the old totse threads. It appears that there is a big hulking backup of many of the threads kicking around here unused. I was wondering if it would be possible to merge the databases together so we can post in them or if that would be such a huge task it would border on the impossible. The only other issue I was would see would be that if you tried to reregister your old name it wouldn't let you as the name already "exists" in some sense, but I'm sure there could be a workaround similar to the Notse verification system to prove ownership of an account.

Haven't realised there's a shitload of old posts kicking around. Yeah, fuck, that'd have to be the next obvious step in getting this shit going.
I guess it'd be shit difficult to make the same accounts usable again. Probably would be better to assume them some kind of ghost identity, where the threads still exist and can be replied to, but their user accounts don't.
Besides, it's more interesting when people roll up with different names and identities. Keeps everybody on their toes and rids the place of that clingy vibe.
What would the job entail? I have a shitload of time on my hands at the moment.
This can be automated. See my PM.
