You know, I'm not entirely sure how this works, but I've been googling images on the web, and finding things from the old site. Sometimes things that I myself posted on the old site. Not only that, but when I click on these images, the text that accompanies them from the old site is still there... SOMEHOW. So I'm reading snatches of things I posted (or remember others having posted). But if I click the button that says "Go to this page", it takes me NOT to the Wayback Machine or some saved mirror image of the old page, but right back to this site (where of course I can't see the image OR the text the google image search just told me it found). Weird.

Oldiesmann?  Anyone? Any ideas about where these ghosts in the machine are coming from?

Not sure where they're coming from. Probably cached versions of things.

I'm still working on trying to get that data back too. I'm in the process of downloading the disk image from my old host (which, at 100GB in size, is taking a while), and a friend is going to look at it and see if he can fix it so we can get the data.

If by any chance I'm able to get the data back I'll see about merging it in with the new data as well (which is a royal pain but still possible).

Fingers crossed! :)

Yeah, some images still appear on google images.
If you google a certain thread you can see the chached version, but mostly just text because so many of the images are broken :/
Even using web.archieve.org you can read threads but not see images.
