I'll assume this has already been offered as an idea. . .

Ryan has already confirmed that the forums have been limited as a way of decreasing server load. My take is that the full forums will return when and if he's happy that it will not affect game play. Since the thing's been much more stable lately (if perhaps still slow on occasion), maybe the full forums will return within a fairly short time.

If you know the "scheme" for the 2nd and subsequent page URL's, you can access them today. They're still there. Apparently, some folks do know how to do that, because they go and resurrect old threads....

If hosting the forum is an issue, perhaps the forums can be hosted on another server. I will be happy to donate some server space to the cause.

gohstlee, what is the sceme for retrieving old threads?

I don't know it. ;-(

And, if I did, I would not post it here. Ryan has turned that off for a reason. It's his call when it gets turned on again.
