After we got the site suspension thing resolved, we were forced to implement an auto-delete feature that automatically deletes threads that have not been replied to in 45 days. Sounds like a good idea to keep the size of the database down... but this "feature" is the devil, and it's been deleting a lot of important stuff.
As a result, the Game Cube Winners thread was deleted, because the original post was over 2 years old.
I searched on Google for a cached version of the page, but the most recent posts I can find in that thread are from March 4, 2005. So that's a major problem.
What do we do about all of the lost Game Cube Winners? Should we have people re-post their winners since March from memory, or forget about keeping track of winners at all?
