Thanks for the kind words

I'm *realy* bummed about what I did though. We had a *LOT* of Smurfy info here, a lot of Smurf information was archived in the old posts. Searching the old posts for info on many topics was as good a way as any to obtain good collector info. It was certainly comparable to any print guide in terms of the Smurf information it contained. I feel I did a real disservice to the Smurf collecting community by erasing it like I did. I *think* I maybe have some of our very oldest posts, but I just don't know enough about what I'm looking to know. Med (RareSmurf) imported all the data from my old forum into vBulletin when I switched forums, and I'm pretty sure I still have all those raw files, but I don't know what to do with them.

Even the vB techs aren't able to help - the import program to bring posts into vB don't work for DCForum, which is what my old forum was. And there is not export utility for DCF. I don't know how Med did it

Well thank you Smurfster, and I hope I can count on you and the few who have rerigistered so far to get us back on our feet...
