We really need these back FD.

I just got some bad news. Hostingdepartment.net's sister company (ukeasily.co.uk) has also gone offline.

I'm not sure why they don't just sell it all to some other company. There's no reason why they shouldn't be able to get it all back online. Simply going offline is a bit drastic.

Anyway, I'll keep trying, but don't hold your breath. Again, I apologise for the loss of people's posts and other information.

It's alright. You do your best. Not much more can be asked.

I'll see if I can remember what got lost and replace it, but the individual posts within I don't think I'll be able to get back. There's a few of those missing in the threads that remained.

I can give you a list of the titels of the threads in each board just prior to the crash if you want.

Sorry this took so long, it was a bit more complicated than I first expected:

Google has cached most of the forum. I'll try to get a copy of the missing threads that way. If you want to find a particular thread yourself, search for site:ozpolitic.com/forum plus any other terms and click on the cached results.

eg, and easy way to find the thread Insurer offers policy for unborn babies is to google:

site:ozpolitic.com/forum 1209269728

(get the number from the thread list I linked above)

It looks like most, but not all of the missing threads are cached.

I think I have recovered all of the missing threads from the general board that are available on google.

Threads that were deleted in their entirety:

Threads with some missing posts:

I have uploaded all of the missing threads I could find on google:

Threads that disappeared completely:

Threads with missing posts:

If anyone wants to help out, you could copy and paste the missing posts into the existing threads, and copy and paste the missing threads into new threads.
