By the way, while searching for old stuff, I found a thread where InnocentSam linked a webpage containing a "MediEvil backup repository". Unfortunately, the site requires a username and a password. Could be useful, though, if InnocentSam is still around.

Nice one! I actually remember the log in details. I will share them in the downloads section momentarily.

Small update: Someone suggested a way that some of the content could be saved. Nothing that was members only, but everything that was public at least. Stay tuned.

Thought I'd start an opinion thread. This one's about the prequel/sequel comic of course, MediEvil: Fate's Arrow. Obviously, spoilers ahead!
Personally I didn't like some elements of it at first as I felt that it kind of disregarded MediEvil 2 a bit (no mention of the Super Armour), but I have grown to appreciate the comic more over time, especially after asking Chris Sorrell for some clarification about things! I still think Zarok's backstory was a bit weak and the fairies were pretty much glorified plot devices... But it was okay overall.
What did you think? Did you love it? Hate it? Something in between?

Ten thousand curses, Fortisskay.I think we had a thread like this before. I don't remember what number we were counting up to but I think we reached it. Let's see if we can get up to ten thousand! I'll start.
1. Oh and the rules are: You just need to have a number in your post, feel free to talk about anything else after it.

Just a thread for sharing MediEvil (or MediEvil related) fan art that you like! Don't forget to give proper credit to the authors and link to the original source if possible. I'll start: PlayStation World by Ry-Spirit on DeviantArt

What happened?So, as I'm sure you've noticed, all the old threads are gone. You may be wondering why that is. Well, due to some petty drama between the moderators, specifically myself and Garden Variety Zombie, myself and other mods were banned from the forum by GVZ. The forum was then taken over by someone pretending to be me who proceeded to decimate completely everything. Can we recover what was lost?Unless someone's made local backups of the forum, no. ProBoards cannot or will not help, though they likely do have the forum backed up in some capacity from my understanding, so you decide which it is. We've asked them for help here and here. Feel free to reach out to them too if you like. However, snapshots of the old forum have been captured by the Internet Archive. You can check those out here. Many of us also have things, such as the downloads, backed up locally, and will be reuploading them to the forum in due time. If you have anything like that as well, please feel free to pitch in and help in restoring the lost content. Why not keep the old layout?We (the admin and I) didn't think we could justify keeping the layout as it used to be because we don't think the forum will ever reach the levels of activity it once used to have now that the community has mostly moved on to other platforms (Discord servers, Reddit, etc). And the very sad truth is that the old forum is lost forever, so for me the old layout would just be a painful reminder of what we've lost. What now?I guess we can only try to rebuild. As I've mentioned, if you have anything that's missing you would like to share, please feel free to do so.
I know this is incredibly frustrating and upsetting. Believe me, I've definitely been going through it... So please feel free to use this thread to vent your frustrations as well as to ask further questions if you have any. Thanks for reading. UpdateSome good news: I've been able to recover a decent chunk of our threads by scraping search engine caches. You can download what I've been able to archive here: https://mega.nz/file/rbJEAYAJ#D6vjsC1matxIAbkGUEM80KXuBhOTGWVAhjb3ZT9Y7FA
