View Full Version : Rebuild the Thread Index?



Lord Maul
02-22-2008, 03:14 PM
Our beloved Index didn't survive the forum transfer as most have seen :sad:

Should we rebuild it? I'd be willing to find the threads and rewrite all the linking. Anyone else up for it?

i'd love to see it rebuilt. I'll even help find old links.

The existing one I think should still work if you rework the links... Last time the topic numbers were the same. Don't know now. Not really a priority for me.

you wanna start at the top, and I'll start at the bottom and we'll meet in the middle.

Lets wait and see if anyone else wants to help. There are A TON of threads indexed.
