Sorry everyone but all the gaming posts got deleted as a result of an automated vulnerability attack which fubared the forum and wiped all the gaming threads.

Thanks to the help of Chris and Mixin the forum has been restored but the job of resurrecting the gaming posts from the old database backup is too much so we will just have to start again.

Thanks,

Guru

By you saying you won, I assume you mean that xboxes are the best? Yes? OK, end of argument!

*finger hovers over the 'lock thread button :p*

Mixin: Oh how dreadful! Ed will be very upset when he reads this! But thanks for the compliment tho!

I just had a thought, google sometimes caches webpages, if you know what the address was for the topic maybe see if it's been cached? or if anyone knows what the topic was called? Not sure if that would work or not.

A bit like this: http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:Rz ... o.uk&hl=en

Also got any db backups which may hold the url for the pic in the post? or was it hosted on guru and has been deleted?

nope google doesn't have it :(, well i couldn't find it, any other search engines which have that type of thing? I'm sure there was another site that did that as well, humm.

How about this site: http://www.archive.org/
