So - I noticed that houston's forum thread address is unchanged from before ECCIE went down, but the sub forum link addresses have changed
For example I changed the current forum link for massage places
https://eccie.net/forumdisplay.php?f=1820
to the original address of
https://eccie.net/forumdisplay.php?f=44
and it says I do not have access - were the prior forums completely deleted or are they just hidden?
