[QUOTE="Num7, post: 231947, member: 1"] Hey everyone! I'm happy to announce I'm going to collaborate with our good friend [USER=2]@Cosmo[/USER], at [URL='https://timetravelinstitute.com/']Time Travel Institute[/URL], on a new exciting project. Using Cosmo's clever mix of web scraping, bbcodes, embeds, and a lot of patience, we're going to be able to resuscitate the [URL='https://paranormalis.com/pages/lost-threads-of-paranormalis/']Lost Threads of Paranormalis[/URL] that were lost in 2006. [URL='https://timetravelinstitute.com/projects/categories/chronovisor-threads.11/']That's the Chronovisor Project (TTI)[/URL]. Back in 2006, our database was stolen following a fraudulent transaction with an individual who couldn't be trusted. From then, Paranormalis restarted from scratch... In 2009, by some miracle, we got our hands back on an old backup from the 2005-2006 era, but half of it wasn't readable anymore. Therefore, about 1 500 threads were lost forever. About 30 000 posts. Now, thanks to Cosmo's method of scraping the Wayback Machine's archives, we're going to be able to restore hundreds of those lost threads and bring them back to life. We call this technique the Chronovisor. Here are 2 examples of threads resurrected with the Chronovisor. A simple thread dating back to TPN: [URL='https://paranormalis.com/threads/predictions.19080/']Chronovisor - Predictions[/URL] An old Paranormalis thread, with a couple of posts from [USER=443]@Harte[/USER]. [URL='https://paranormalis.com/threads/a-ac-pseudoscience-harte-not-quite.19076/']Chronovisor - A&AC - Pseudoscience Harte? ...Not Quite[/URL] As you can see, the old site snapshot is embedded inside a forum thread, that belongs to the original poster and has the correct date. It also has a Chronovisor thread prefix to identify it properly, as such. For those who visited the forum back then, that hits right in the feelings. First, there was Time Travel Forum (TTF) in 2004, then The Paranormal Network (TPN) in 2005, then finally Paranormalis in 2006. We often refer to that period as the [I]Old Days[/I]. It was the Golden Age of Paranormalis. [B][SIZE=5]Click here to enter the Chronovisor: [/SIZE][/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://paranormalis.com/search-forums/Chronovisor/[/URL] There's also a link in the site's header, for easy access. There, you'll find old, previously lost threads from each iteration of Paranormalis, grouped together. Old content that mostly dates from 2003 to 2007. Chronovisor threads are located all across the forum, just like other regular threads. But they're grouped together in the Chronovisor section, so that you can browse them easily, all in one spot. Also, here's a sticky thread in which you'll find a list of old threads that are freshly restored: [URL='https://paranormalis.com/threads/list-of-chronovisor-restored-threads.19079/']Chronovisor - List of Chronovisor Restored Threads[/URL] On a lot of Internet forums, replying to an old thread is prohibited, or seen as a bad thing. Here's it's encouraged. If you ever find an old thread fascinating and want to discuss it, feel free to reply and resurrect it. Even if it's 20 years old! Again, many thanks to Cosmo, over at TTI, for sharing his Chronovisor recipe. That would not have been possible without you! :) To be continued! --Num7 [/QUOTE]
