Johnny Stew has it right. At one point in the past I had to delete a large number of threads to shrink the database. In doing so, I was trying to decrease the load on the server as The Penguin was getting suspended by my host. The site is now hosted on a dedicated server though and space, memory, and bandwidth are currently not issues. I have those old posts backed up, but getting them back into the live database is not possible-- especially now that the board has been upgraded and the scripts are incompatible.
