I need to copy and paste something from a really old thread and I can't find it. It was called the New Robot Ideas thread. Does it still exist?

Are u sure that was the exact title? Do you know who the author of the thread was? I dont see it via multiple search angles. And yes, it is possible threads get deleted for various reasons. It is very uncommon for the admin team to delete threads. Even if the content warranted deletion we usually just move it to our admin section.

Wasn't there a minor crisis with the board getting nuked a while back? Maybe that was a casualty.

I did a bit of research and I don't think this was the thread name.
If you do remember, it was the first thread I started talking in.
There was one called new robot ideas but it wasn't it. It was about 3 pages long I think, and I don't remember when it was from but I know it was from around 2017 - 2020.
When did the servers get nuked? If it was since 2022, then it might be gone.
It was called something along the lines of new robot ideas; besides that I don't know. I do remember when I left for personal reasons it was there (about 2022 November) and when I returned (I don't remember, around January - February) it was gone.

I appreciate you looking, but that's not it. That's the one I made because I couldn't find the old one, hence the name.

Oh well, then. Thanks for the help!
Guess I'll just have to rewrite all the 2.0 ideas I had (basically what Ultimate editions are now but the robots were much more different)

In future, another option for searching is to go into your account and examine the ‘activity’ tab if it is a thread you commented in or created.

There have been a bunch of robot idea threads over the years, so you do have to be a bit specific with what you are exactly looking for. What do you remember the thread containing? Any specific posts or responses you have in mind? I think the search function also looks in replies, so if you know a reply has a rare word, you look for the thread with that.

I don't remember too much of what the thread contained.
