I'm sure the raw data still exists. After all, some content hasn't been transferred over yet.

I assume the old site has been archived and stored in its original form?

Not sure what you mean by "original form". I'm sure the database and uploaded image resources all still exist. After all, there are no "web pages", per se, just the code that generates and serves them.

Urgh, I need to get used to this.
Call me conservative, but I preferred the old style.
And where are the smileys?

Yeah, i mean the database and the original code... should anyone find an old PHP4 server in a basement, and fire it up... the old one would still run, and be frozen in time... :-)

Personally, I'm more for writing scripts to convert as much of the old content as humanly possible

MySQL6 and PHP6 are in the offing and v5 has been standard now for years. Unless you host it yourself, serving the old content just isn't going to be feasible.

Well you can always go here for your fix:

or even Googles temp cache while it lasts.

Okay?
I guess mainly because of the lengthy travel times?

Partly, but mainly because of the relentless pressure and never-ending workload.

Well travelling times increase that pressure tremendously. People don't take that into consideration. But be glad someone's home for you to help you with the rest. :-)
