If you viewed this thread before early last year, you would have been able to download all files that were posted: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/conceptual_...wiki-t9784.html

Did you or someone you know download the files within? One in particular containing a backup of the entirety of the old Sagan 4 forum, including lost threads such as the sapient contest and the tribal game, was posted at some point, and we are trying to locate anyone who has this file since LadyM deleted it.

Even if your computer died between then and now, you should still have the file as long as the death of your computer was unrelated to the hard drive. If you think you might have downloaded the file, please search your hard drive for any traces of it. It might have a weird name, in which case you may need to sort by date to find things you downloaded around that time. It should be either a .rar, a .sql, or a .bz2 file.

I did back up some Specevo-era crucial files, and I might have backed them up via the Internet Archive, too. I probably don't have pre-Specevo forum files, though. I'm not sure whether Internet Archive would have backups of the oldest, since-made-Tapatalk files.

I do have an old computer that would have overlapped with that era, and a backup drive that surely has files from that era. I don't know whether it has those specific forum files, though.

The old sagan 4 forum now has a page on the lost media wiki: https://lostmediawiki.com/Sagan_4_Forum_(pa...dia;_2007-2017)

Hopefully this catches the eye of someone who might be able to help track down someone who has a copy.

I think that I may have downloaded forum backup long time ago in the past, but due to current situation of mine it is unavailable i.e. no idea where the computer is, or how to access hard drive.

According to LadyM, the file may be called "sagancom"
