Most important threads from the old conan.com site

[jbruel0]

Hi all,
Could it be possible to copy here the most important threads here (I am thinking for example to the ones on Conan chronology, maps...) which are a reference of knowledge for all Conan fans?

Or make them available somewhere?

Thanks a lot if possible

All of those type of threads will be saved when the Forum is archived on the Foundation site, I assure you. Now, some of the threads nobody commented on for 10yrs on the "General Discussion" boards? They almost certainly will NOT make the cut. Jay Zetterberg warned everyone weeks in advance to copy everything they thought MUST be saved.

The Forum database is gigantic (a 1/4 million posts over a 13yr period). The Foundation cannot handle hosting that. Cuts will be made.

Is it impossible to keep it as it and grant read access?

The board will eventually allow read access to everyone, but only after the cuts are made.  It might take a couple months or so, but we'll eventually be able to see a fair amount of the old stuff.
