Had to restore a previous backup of the forum again again.

We lost quite a few posts, and a couple registered members, but well, if you were there, you would know that it was necessary.
Thanks to a webhook, I have archives of all the missing posts, and I will post them below. You can either copy them, or do whatever.
I've removed some insignificant topics and posts from here, so it's not everything, but it's almost everything.

SerjG2005 made a topic titled "Windows 98 on Socket 775 (thanks to P4M900)"
After quite a few freezes and instabilities, I got Windows 98 SE going on an MSI P4M900-M3 socket 775 motherboard, with a core 2 duo E4500 clocked at 2.2GHz, a single stick of 512mb, integrated VIA Chrome9 graphics (ouch that is seriously weak dude) and the most terrifying part of all, a SATA hard drive! As a bonus, I've got a Creative Sound Blaster Live sound card (CT4830).
Even after installation, there were still freezes/hickups when opening "my computer" right after startup or after playing with the sound card's "soundfont" piano program thing.
Gaming wise, don't expect greatness. The Chrome9 got 1370 points in 3DMark 2001 SE with default settings, which is still more than the 700-800 of the RIVA TNT2 M64
. Motocross Madness trial ran fine, but would slow down when particle effects were in, and the buttons in the menu were surrounded with pink/magenta squares. MTM2 trial ran ok, but pausing the game would give you glitched menu. Age of Empires Gold ran like a dream. Marble Blast Gold would only launch in 16 bit color depth. Game ran ok afterwards, but there was no music, probably because windows 98 can't play .ogg files. Dos games were also fine, but with some audio stuff, likely due to the sound blaster 16 emulation. Doom had garbled sound (music was fine it seems), Wolfenstein 3D hard to explain, but hey Duke Nukem 2 had no problems!
Would love to try other DOS games like Duke Nukem 3D, but also some other late 90s 3D games like POD, Midtown Madness and an NFS game. Would also try some 2000s, but only when I'll get hold of a PCIe gpu with 98 compatibility. I have a Radeon 7000, but it's AGP.
Kouto made a topic titled "in regards to that bullshit earlier"
-it seems like Aero found and archived a thread i wrote containing some info about my past, unsurprising as at least two people from there are on eclipse.cx
-and then spread it as FUD against the board and me behind my back to make the regulars withdraw from posting, which led win32 (the co-owner of eclipse) to make a thread in the staff forum about the number of complaints, and alter the forum advisor perms to block PMs on the basis I am apparently sending stuff to underage users using the PM function (lol wtf is that logic)
-R3n realises something doesnt add up, especially given some info was shared behind his back to win32 from one of the other mods about the VPS idea and win32 initially denies doing anything regardless of the log info stating he had fucked with the perms
-drama occurs

Nope, not from the south actually, North East USA here:)
I've been reading over here the last few days (I'm also a member of MSFN which is down atm) so I thought it was about time to join your forum rather than just lurk in obscurity.
What to say about myself ... I am a loyal user roytam1's browser builds since he started them and I (exclusively) use XP as my main daily driver (bare metal that is)!
Glad to be a part of your community !
Cheers..

Apparently they're claiming win32 as the true owner purely based on monetary funding. Maybe they should go look at who has user ID #2, alongside who set up the majority of the board's initial structuring and general goals (me).
The R3n-win32 partnership was a setup intended to split two different sets of skills between two different people. R3n is better at communicating things as a whole and encouraging activity, win32 was essentially intended as the co-owner doing more of the 'management' duties but less of the actual 'community' aspect of this place.
mjdxp made a few posts, the most important is from Whats the best Email provider?
There's a reason Google, Microsoft, etc. are all free. It's because you're the product. They're harvesting your information. If you want an email provider who doesn't, either set up a mail server yourself (probably the best idea) or find a privacy oriented provider that'll probably charge you.
