Maybe One Way To Retrieve Lost Posts

[SonjaMarie]

If you do this in the Google Search Box site:www.historicalfiction.org "Historical Fiction" (or whatever you were looking for) you might be able to find lost posts if you use cache.

That's a good idea. It'd be a shame to lose all that great info from the other site. Does anyone know what really happened or was it just that the other owner couldn't be found?

That didn't work for me. It showed me the link to the review I did, but when I clicked on the link, it got me nowhere. This is so wrong. All this hardwork everyone did and the idiots who own the site don't give a fig.

You have to wonder what they have planned for it all -- did they just want the web address?

No, worse! All of our thoughts and opinions are going to be compiled in a book the owners will have published entitled Dummies' Guide to Historical Fiction! We'll all be considered experts in the field and won't even get a penny in return. All that wonderful wealth of knowledge - paperbound in that hideous yellow color. :eek:

Hmph :p They can't do that.

What was it you were looking for, maybe I can help.

Occasionally websites are archived on the internet - which means even if deleted they may sstill be saved in "cyberspace" - worth a shot.

Mostly my review of Isolde: Queen of the Western Isles. It's the only one I don't have.

Got it, I've PM'd it to you! Anyone else I can help with retrieving posts? I'll do my best!

I dunno how you are able to find stuff. I've been trying all night and can't come up with anything. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

[SonjaMarie]

I just Google "Historical Fiction" then the word or words I'm looking for and if it shows up in the results I click on "Cache" and that's it.

Rockin! Got it :D

I found the posts for India in the country thread, but I can't seem to get any other information.. :(

I am so upset that that wealth of info is lost =( Still hopeful that somehow it can be retrieved but grateful that this site is up and running again!

[Divia]

I was able to find some of my old reviews and I was able to find books on Russia and India (but not on the other countries :confused: ) I'm still looking though.

I found some research questions we asked before, but I was unsure if we should post those again. Its coming together bit by bit. But I do agree its sad that we lost all that information from headless bookcovers to Tudor overkill.

[SonjaMarie]

I went to see if I could retrieve something like the Overkill thread, but it seems only a few of the pages of the thread were cached. Sigh, sorry!
