Any way to find old threads from before the shutdown, and bring them back?

Or even access a cached copy of the old site?

Try using google's cache. If you're in Chrome, and you have a direct link to the page you want, type "cache:" and then paste the link and it'll take you to a cached page, if it exists. If you're not using chrome, or if that doesn't work right, you'll have to look up how to do it.

The suggestions/bugs place is probably the better place to put this kind of thing. Fyi.

O.o
You've always been able to post in the news... Still doesn't make it the place to put things that don't belong there.

Have all of the old threads been lost permanently? I don't know anything about the cached thing, and will that even allow you to go through all of the pages of your old threads?

The best way to find stuff if you're not using chrome (see burntbacon8r's post above for that) is by googling: "site:roleplayerguild.com" followed by whatever key words you need to find the stuff you wanted (i.e. Thread title) or putting a direct link into google. What you then need to do is find the result you want and press the little green down arrow next to it and then choose "cached". This will open the cached version of this page and allow you to copy stuff off there.

Unfortunately you cannot navigate between pages using this method, you have to go back to google and do the same thing on every page you want to open.

Hope this helps.

Give the way back machine a try, it helped me recover most of my lost CS's and Interest Checks

Edit--
For ease of reference, remember to save the pages you found as htm webpage complete files. Which can be done using the CTRL+S combo on Windows machines.

If it helps, here is a tutorial I did a while ago for using Google Cache.

There is also this https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://roleplayerguild.com
This is a foundation which makes imprints of pages which might allow you to restore some of the old threads, for example TJA's first page OOC is there. Also there is a possibility that they safe whole sites but for that Mahz the creator of RPG would need to contact the ones behind the previosly linked project.

On Firefox, the local cache can be accessed with typing about:cache in the address bar.

You appear to be operating under the assumption that the old threads will be restored to RPG somehow. They won't. All the data was lost due to the previous server host deleting it after a single missed payment (which is a major dick move, but no use crying over spilled milk), so it's gone forever unless you can find it through archive.org or search engine cached pages. It sucks, but that's life for you.

I've successful found the majority of my old threads via google cache, but all are missing the first page which is the most important page.....
