So right now, because you seem to be unable to let me get the forums into a good state, the community has 2 options.
1) Wait for me to get it done properly, which will involve begging Proboards support to fix shit and trying to fix permissions
2) Delete all non-forum admin accounts, and having everyone re-register / not allowed to register at all, which will lose the detail of the posting history and any PM's / similar.
The permissions as I said on the original thread, are fucked. and I've been trying to fix them in slow time, and when I've got 10 mins between the other 200 fucking tasks I've got to do to keep TF running, but the bottom line is when Seth deleted everything, it has made so much of the forums a total mess, which is near impossible to get working how it should be, much less in a state to be properly archived for future access like we all want.
So that's the options, I'm sick of you all thinking this is some super simple job, because if it was I'd have done it six months ago. Get your heads out of your arses and either let me do what needs to be done, or accept the loss of all account data. Your choice.
