Alright so I'm trying to find a copy of the forums circa late 2002 before we switched over to these shiny boards. So far I've been able to find bits and pieces but I'm wondering if someone has an old mothballed machine that might have this on it in its temp internet files (we were all pretty young then maybe we didn't know how to clean our stuff...maybe)

Anyhow, if you might have something like this let me know, IT'S LIKE AN EXCITING TIME CAPSULE TO WHEN RWL WAS BORN.

...Good god my life must be boring.

Also just for those who weren't around then, all you new guys, check out version 1.0 RWL, it was a pretty different game, heh

Oh man, xepher.net...that is a blast from the past. My laptop's pretty aged but it's not quite that old (well it is from 2002 but I wasn't using it back then for RWL.)

The old old forums. They don't show up quite right though.

Yeah, I can't find anything (no one was caching then like Google does now that I can find, but I'm still on the lookout) so I was hoping to glean something out of someone's temporary internet files because it's possible that there's a goldmine in someone's old PC that probably doesn't even turn on anymore, haha.

But I must find it, it will be like finding treasure

Would be rather nice eh?
I lost my old P1 IBM Thinkpad that I used to access RWL via dialup back in the day in a house fire, otherwise I'd poke around.

If you're feeling nostalgic I did post this prior to losing it - http://www.redwallwarlords.com/forums/index.php?topic=8795.0
Edit:  Holbs posted his too, and you posted in the topic back in 2008, lol

I'm going to go check at my parents' house, I'm pretty sure I actually have three or four really old hard drives, don't know why I saved them, but hey.

Also, I still can't believe I spelled my own horde name wrong when I had to remake it. That's sort of embarrassing.

Thanks for posting that though, haha

Trust me...it's not just you that's interested in that old stuff. It brings back the best kind of childhood memories for me.
