It was a major project when I took over to dig out the trashed posts from the old databases, and had to salvage what we could from master archival site. This went far back. Someone disabled the master archival mode since 2014. Imagine what we've lost between the deletes and hacks. To this day, I'm still putting out fires from all the past craziness. Broken links are merely the tip of the nightmares.
Threak-X and Jurgen are the two guys who did all of that. Threak-X used to be very close to DLD. He went from 4.5 inches in length to 6.5 inches and he started finding it difficult to make more gains. Still feeling very small in size, he unleashed his anger on DLD and the forum.
People are so evil. Both Threak-X and Jurgen were moderators. If I were to be DLD, I will never make anybody a moderator again.
