The current lapse in new fiction has led me to trawl through the earliest posts in the forum, Sadly most of Steves posts from the Nemesis and Cataclysm Campaigns are incomplete, sometimes consisting of a single line of text which cuts out, Is there any remote chance that there might be backups from 2006 buried somewhere?
Perhaps there's a chance Seve might have notes of those games somewhere but I'm sure it's a longshot.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds the earliest posts in the forum intriguing, seeing how the game has developed and how new features have been dealt with in fiction, for instance I was surprised to see how changes from the expected Newtonian aurora ended up in versions 5 or 6, particularly engine and fuel changes, I read through those posts years before registering to the forum but had forgotten all about it.
I've also noticed a few of the earliest posts show the subforum name but not the actual thread's name, when you go through Steve's post history, but the quote button still displays the actual location of the thread. Not an issue really.

The forum was originally using phpBB. There was some issue with that (I don't recall what) which caused me to move to SMF 1.x. The phpBB truncated posts using the apostrophe. During backup/restores.

Damn those apostrophes!
Well, I'm glad the Rigellian campaign at least is available as a complete document, I'll enjoy reading that when I'm through the Trans-Newtonian one..
