There's nothing going back earlier than february 2009 any more. All my old stories are gone! :(

This is a real shame. Might have to look for another site to post on.

The old posts are still there, but the forum has a default setting to not show threads older than a certain age.

To change this setting go to your User Control Panel (http://femaledom.com/forum/usercp.php) in the top left corner then go to Edit Options (http://femaledom.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions) and change the setting called "Default Thread Age Cut Off" to "Show All Posts"

Should still back them up by putting them on blogger or something.


Of course, what you really want to hear is "no skweezme! don't go! we love you and your stories are genius!" But that's just not happening from me.

Not really. Just want this forum to work like it used to. Changed my settings as suggested, but no luck so far :(

From the main ballbusting forum page, go to the bottom. There is a box marked display options, it will probably be set for 30 days. You can change the box to display all threads from the beginning.

Hi skweezme,

You could try lots of search engines, to see if they have cached any of your posts.

Maybe http://www.archive.org/ can help.

I do not know if you typed directly into the forum, or composed your work offline and then pasted it into the message, as I do. If you work offline, did you not take any backups?

Forums such as this are transient; they value last month’s postings no more than old newspapers.
And why should they? Do you ever look further than the first page of threads?

I have made it crystal clear that I think your work has merit.
If you will not value it, polish it and publish, why should others treat it with any respect?

Good luck with your recovery process,
Regards,
Alec Anaconda

PS, we will all cry if you abandon us.
