1.Go to archive.org

2.In the Wayback Machine type www.roleplayerguild.com

3.You will see a calendar, choose a date before december

4.You can see the oldguild now but some pages cannot work

Gave it a shot, a bit limited but better than nothing.

I for one don't have anything on the old site really to bother retrieving or re-looking at but others might so thanks for this. A lot of people will get use from this.

The trouble with this is that you really can't get to old threads unless you still have links to them bookmarked or something. Sure the calendar looks complete when you're on the site index, but it becomes a lot spottier once you try looking through one of the forums. You'd never be able to find one of your threads in there, and, since you can't log in to get to your subscriptions, you'll need a link from somewhere.

And even then, you probably won't be able to read past the 1st page. :/

But yeah, if you just wanna reminisce by looking at the site index or you do happen to have the link to something important saved, it's a good way to salvage at least some of the oldGuild. I've used it.

I think the people who will have those links, Kaga, are also the ones who saved templates and portions of their IC/OOC. We have access to a majority of Apoca thru that and personal saves, but it totally defeats the purpose. You're right.

Great for reminiscing and to check first if you need something important. Definitely don't rely to in it.

Back when we recovered most of our RP from pre-guildfall, we only used wayback a little. Most of it we got out of browser cache.

Though,Wayback does serve as a good manual online backup, since you can give it links to pages that you want saved there. Ever since Guildfall, I've been going there every so often to save all the pages of my roleplays. That'll keep Wayback from being too spotty if I'm ever in this situation again. ^^

Yeah, it's always a problem. Certain captures of RPG allow you to go into the Free/Casual/Advanced boards' pages (and their OOC subboards), and if you're lucky the RP you want was in the capture on Page 1, 2, etc. when it happened. Otherwise the best bet is to google titles and "roleplayer guild" to find the URL. Google caches of old Guild are all probably deleted, but the URL should still be right.

My RP was actually surprisingly lucky, we lost a lot of material, but we had almost all the pages of the IC and the majority of a side thread. The first page and all or near all the bio pages still existed. Some images and YouTube videos were lost, but that's not essential.

And Wayback is an awesome way of backing up pages. One can update the same one frequently, and it's easy to find again.

I managed to save most of my characters and one setting (important to me) trough Google's Cache by browsing for those specific characters/RPs. Google is nice to do save cache of most pages!
