Missing threads and blogposts

It seems that some threads and articles have disappeared from handmade.network. I already signaled this in the comments of a blog post but wanted to put it here so it's not forgotten.

Some blog posts
A thread.

Eventually all threads will disappear and forum will be completely empty... :)

Jeroen said yesterday on IRC that he'll restore Resilio Sync thread.
I've known about this for awhile and will ensure that it is looked into by the team, after which I'll get back to you. Thank you for the post!
Any news on this subject ?

This thread as a link to another missing thread. If the thread was deleted by it's author it would be nice to have a message specifying it. Otherwise it would be nice to get the thread back.

Is there any chance to see those missing threads again ? It's OK if there isn't, just would like to know.

All the links that you mentioned seem to be working.


Replying to mrmixer (#25121)

It wasn't clear but the links in this thread are links to other threads with missing links.

I'll copy them here, but I'm assuming those are just the things we know are missing, there is probably more.

None of the linked posts are present in our earliest database backup, which is mere months after Asaf, Ryan, and I were brought on as the new admin team and given control of the website. I am not aware of any backups made by the previous admin team. I think it is safe to conclude that these posts were outright deleted before we had any access to them, and therefore we have no clear way to restore them.

If you can find an archived copy of their contents, send us an email at [email protected] and we'll discuss restoring them.
