Is that how it happened? I've noticed that many of the photos Coyote posted in Casey James thread are also gone and unfortunately he doesn't post here anymore
'Twas in the Big Board Breakdown of some years ago. I believe that all images were lost. (I can't say for certain, because I haven't checked all images
) If you go back far in enough in any thread started before that time, you hit empty pages.
The thing happened on April 14, 2009. Only images that the admins hadn't backed up were lost, so images posted prior to some point in 2008 are still intact. –gonZo
