PSA - what to do when you lose all your progress on a game because you stored in on fol

Ah, damn. Any other ways?

Not that I’m aware, sorry

Will we see Bastard Sword on this website? Or was it lost forever when old FoL crashed?

If you downloaded your GDPR, it has a list of every single post you’ve ever made in existance and on what thread btw.
But it’s annoying to navigate.

Does this include your private pm stuff?

And also how do you download your GDPR

Pretty sure.

You went into settings and pressed ‘Request GDPR Download’ and it’d be sent to your email

This is previously, if you haven’t before you can’t

It doesn’t

I appreciate the tip but I don’t think a single soul here ever knew about this nor used it

The export for this site includes PMs, so I would think the old one did as well. Though yeah, doesn’t matter for old site at this point if you hadn’t already done this. But people may want to consider this going forward as a way to backup PMs occasionally.

BTW it’s this button under Activity.

Does it? When I check it doesn’t include it


(I’ve sent several messages in PMS during this time)

here’s a PM of me asking Arete’s alt (whom was in Informed Spec Chat on their main) to sub in to WoW:BfA :wowee:

There’s an actual field that says “Yes” for PMs and “No” for public

One of the headings of the spreadsheet given by the GDPR is a true/false field of whether or not the message sent was a PM

It might not show the PMs in that listing you are viewing on the site. Just the export includes them.

What happened to FOL?

the clear option is to revive old forums by making tol super popular so that they need to revive old forums

Oh no, all of my secret evil plans to forcibly rand people as Animal Farm characters in games with their own flavour are ruined.
