i still need a little help with this. as you may notice from a brief browse of the archive (you can all see the archive now, can't you?) we still haven't finished mapping usernames back to current users. it's a simple process, i need only the user_number and current user name to merge the two. but it can be time consuming to backtrack through the archive and figure everyone out, particularly people who've only made one or two posts.

so help me out here, people. use google while it's still on hand (updated search table coming soon. ish.) and down your old posts, if we haven't already matched you. thanks to grisha for figuring out a healthy chunk of the list, anything done already is his doing.

and many, many thanks to dolzenko, who basically saved everything.

user_5359 appears to be me. I started that Xenakis thread.

cool, as soon as i'm done rebuilding the search index, i'll do another round of user updates.

if you're an old poster but haven't posted in the username change thread in IHE, please do so. i've got names on grisha's list i haven't been able to use yet.

m

i wasn't a big poster or anything but i'm user_5152

Nice work, Zhenya!

got you two, thanks.

another thing i'm gonna want is a bumping of topics that are alive again, so i can find them and merge them into the new topics. we have a merge tool now, so none of this thread-doubling will end up mattering.

I'm user_1950 and Surfer is user_720

The Xenakis & Feldman threads.

user_4748 is howsthatsound
user_617 is Will (Benton of Formed, I believe he just went by Will)
user_4948 is JF
user_195 is p_ano or whatever mr. kirby's precise name is these days
user_2016 is rainey

oh, and, nice work, gents!

What he said.

I'm impressed!

fixed howsthatsound and kirby. the others don't seem to have registered here in the new forum, so i can't really do much. i might eventually change the user_crap to their old usernames, but i'd much rather wait until they register so i can let them claim authorship back.

so yes, lurkers of the world: register so you can have your old posts back. and so you don't have to see the ugly default board.

one of my old posts is here, but I don't know where to get the user number:
http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:La ... cd=4&gl=be" onclick= "window.open(this.href);return false;

you'd have to find the matching post here in the archives. won't be nearly as difficult if/when the search table finishes rebuilding.

i think you're already accounted for, though.

m

from the MLB thread, pretty sure all these people have reregistered, or almost all of them:

user_1643 is Un Manatee Andalou
user_3511 is Captain Hate
user_5431 is jesus marion joseph
user_5433 is Harold Baines
user_5430 is Borat Pri Hagafen
user_5436 is bostontricky
user_5437 is Enforcer
user_594 is crawjo
user_5439 is Mo Noyz
user_4696 is mitch (Matt Mitchell, maybe mm on the new board?)

and the sports threads can obviously all be easily merged when you get around to it.

got them.

i went ahead and dumped the old sports forum into the new one, you should be able to do the merging if you want, or i'll get to it eventually.

m

nice, thanks!

user_224 is Franz Bieberkopf
user_56 is sevenarts
user_837 is Esquilo
user_968 is Posting from a vagina (new user name would be great)
user_728 is Vincent Kargatis
user_24 is BuddyGlass
user_710 is ghostargot
user_4541 is gargoylepiss (eek)
user_548 is angrymice
user_531 is Bunny Breckinridge

lots of those people don't seem to have registered. they should do.

m

The sole thread I started (Zorn recommendations) calls me User 1445. But my posts are labelled with User 5296.

Weird.
