[quote="Vitiman"]If I recall, [url]http://archive.forums.mfgg.net[/url] or something [i]was[/i] the link to the phpBB archives, but unfortunately it no longer works, and so now the 3.0 boards are [b]LOST FOREEVEEEEEEEERRR-[/b] except oh wait [url]http://web.archive.org[/url][/quote] No it's this link: [url]http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?s=0318f1e3cc0faaa72fc377ce3a1b50a7&act=idx[/url] Though, this might be MFGG V2.0

Yeah, that's still 2.0. Vitiman, that link takes me to the wayback machine, but I still can't find it there.

I don't know why it didn't allow the other guys.

I've checked with R II, Techokami, and Kyori - the only people who were likely to have a backup of the first phpBB boards - and apparently it was deleted during the server change in November 2011 (about a year after The Split). As far as we know, it's gone for good. The Wayback Machine has a few snapshots of the forum from summer 2010, but I can only view the lists of topics; if I click on an actual topic, I get an error informing me that the topic doesn't exist. I've tried hunting for old topics in the Google cache, with limited results. Our best bet for backing up the parts of the first phpBB boards (at least, the parts worth preserving) would be individual topics saved to members' hard drives. Unfortunately, the only really notable topic I preserved was MFGG Wrestling and a few less-than-notable things like the MFGG Football topic.

Now that we've revived the GC, and we've seen a small but noticeable uptick in forum activity, I'd like to remind the good folks at MFGG that we do indeed have a wiki! I check in almost every day to approve new accounts and to make sure there hasn't been any spambots or vandalism, but I haven't had a chance to make much progress on adding pages for recent notable games and updating member pages. If there are any helpful souls around here who'd like to help with the existing pages or add new material, you're more than welcome to! Bonus points for those who are willing to write quality tutorials for GM, Clickteam, or other platforms.

could i get an IP ban check? I havent been able to access the wiki in months.

I've sent in an account request.

[quote="Mason"] I think Vinny would have to fix it since he's the only person who is both a sysop there and an admin here. Otherwise, is there a way you could PM me your IP or whatever? I'd unblock you but yeah... I don't know your IP.[/quote] 2 PMs sent, One by miles, Another by me, just in case something went screwy,

Nite, just to make sure, are you using the [url=http://wiki.mfgg.net/index.php?title=Main_Page]current URL[/url]? Old bookmarks won't work, as the Wiki changed URLs last year.

Weird. I don't see any banned IPs in your range. Can you access other sites on the server, like the IPB forums, MW, or good ol' 20th Century Fish? Either way, it might be necessary to bug R II about this problem.

I can view MW just fine, Ill need the URL to IPB and 20th century fish.

Alright folks, for your laughing pleasure, tech support has just called tech support. Well, by calling tech support, I mean the webmaster, (RII)

Well, RII seems to be far too busy to help with this. the proxy site http://proxy1.mermanspeed.info/ allows me access in. seems i have no choice but to use one.
