I know they're still there.

Hey guys, it's Doq. It feels a little weird to come back to the forums after so long. Nostalgia aside, I'm proposing the suggestion to reopen the old SSF2 boards, but as read-only. It doesn't even need to be on the index. It's very hard to go back and do historical research or just nostalgia tripping when the entire 2014-early 2017 era of SSF2 is "not authorized to be read".

tbh it's just for a couple of Explained videos and Wayback Machine isn't helping because it's stupidly obscure

Thanks for the read.

Side issue: The Forum rules in this section still point to the old section for SSF2 discussion.

Side side: I still have the BR Member tag despite having left the BR a year and a half ago.

I agree with this 100%. I'd love nothing more than to look at allll the cool screenshots we posted before Beta rolled along.

I actually really want to do this though have been hesitant for security reasons. But i was looking into making a static version of the old forums if possible, it still may not be too late for me to make that happen

If so, HOORAY!! I can finally see my thousands of old screenshots again! If not, I perfectly understand. Security's a big thing to consider.

I have a strong feeling that you and I are thinking of the wrong thing. I think you're referring to the super old archive boards on the old backend, whereas I was referring to the subboard on this backend that is now hidden with the old threads from before SSF2 Beta.

not gonna lie, I would love to see both archives accessible, though I'm sure it would be a royal pain to do so

Since the forums are closing, I'm going to bump this and see about a conclusive resolution.

To clarify once more, I am referring to the 9b subboard (viewforum.php?f=4) and not the ancient forums (although that'd be cool too!)
