    Hi folks,

    I had an earlier account on Boards dating back to about 2007 or 08 that I lost access to after a major hack of the site in 2010. When I search the username now the account still appears but all the posts etc are hidden (archived?)

    I don't need to be able to use the account anymore but I'd like to be able to have a look at the old posts, as much for nostalgia / cringe factor as anything!

    Any help?

    This soundslike an odd one unless all of the posts were in privater forums. Can you email hello@boards.ie with the username? I presume you couldn't be reunited with the account because you didn't have the password or know the email address associated with it - of that has changed we could reunite you with the account but if not, I'm not sure there is much we can do. I'll take a look for you anyway :)

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
