Where do I view old lavausergroup.org threads?

[Sparkette]

From old URL's like this one for instance: http://forums.lavausergroup.org/index.php?showtopic=1524

It's not on archive.org. I figure it's safe to assume the staff wouldn't have deleted all the old stuff, so where is it?

I have no idea. That seems to be a URL in the old format which died a log time ago. The post probably still exists but was converted to a new URL format and there is no redirect.

Seeing as you're the admin, is there any way you can set up a redirect? Maybe something on the site where you can paste a URL and have it find the current link?

No.

Have the topics been converted to the lava forum with the same topic id? If so, you can just enter the topic-id in the url and add a - with anything behind it

https://lavag.org/topic/1524-anything-you-want

works just fine

I don't have the time or desire to figure out how to automate this. But it's cool that trick works.
