That would be amazing - and if they have moved here I will switch the authorship of the post to reflect them
@idmonfish I didnāt see these few, they might be considered helpful?
Canon summary by TheGreatClockwyrm
List of characterās lines here and here by Spicyfries and Jiinko
Compilation of all patch notes by zeogau
All of those would be excellent - Iāll give you the curator role.
The heroes lines I proposed we make a wiki and stick it in the Heroes section - that way multiple people can keep it updated. Proposed community project - voice lines
Iāll go create a wiki post for this there and link the threads you link (actually just Jinkoās would do) and then people can go through them and copy out the content. Here you go: Vainglory Heroes Voice Lines - Wiki
One of the highest value posts is the patch history which shows the entire changelog of the game.
If I could safe one thing itād be that however it is a hyperlinked post and I have no clue how to safe that particular piece of info.
@Xaldarian Iām working on it today, unless someone already started. Thereās apparently a character limit, so itāll probably take multiple posts on a thread, and therefore a lot of time to write up.
Do you need more help? I can hunt for some exellent posts from the archive
The more the merrier We only have a week left after all.
Would you consider the āforums closing downā thread a keeper? It contains interesting conversations and lead us to this
I was kinda letting that one go in the interests of a fresh start.
@CuratorsOfTheVain and any others interested.
Thank you all so much for your help - we didnāt grab all of the forums, but we did grab some of the more timeless gems.
Iāve gone through all the posts in the OG archive forum and edited them to acknowledge the person who copied them across and to change their ownership to either the original author where they have joined here, or to system if they have not.
For those of you who have copied across at least one thread that you didnāt author yourself in the OG forums I added you to a Raiders of the Lost Forums group and awarded that group a special badge by way of thanks. If I managed to miss you let me know and link me to the content you added.
At this point you have a choice about whether you want to continue as a curator or not. If you continue Iād like you to do (at least) one of three things:
- Continue to trawl the old forums for quality content that we missed for however long it stays up.
- Start building up the text resources category here: https://vgforums.net/c/useful-resources/text-resources
Threads in this category default to wiki so anyone can edit them and help keep them up to date - the aim is to create a fairly comprehensive and organised list of up to date resources. At the moment I am organising them by author - but making categorised lists by topic would be very helpful as well once we have more content here. I created this as a template to follow and an example: Guides from Physix - Start building up the video resources category here: https://vgforums.net/c/useful-resources/video-resources

If you arenāt keen to contribute by doing those then let me know via pm, otherwise in about a week if you havenāt posted something new or edited something in those sections I will start removing people.
Likewise if you are keen to join this group and to help out then send me a pm, we will set up badges for frequent contributors to these categories of the forums.
Go for it - I was tempted by it.
I just found this. When I heard the forums were closing I copied a page that had a bunch of hero trivia. Would anyone be interested in that?
Edit: Nevermind, nice to see someone copied it already
This is me. Iām desperately hunting here and what little I can still access of the OG Forums to find every last scrap of my work. What steps should I take? I could only find a few of mine here, whereas ParagonPrimeās storage thread seems to have escaped wholesale.
Additionally, where would be best to get in contact with some old forum members? Life has taken me on a wild ride over the past couple of years and Iām eager not only to preserve all of my relevant work off of the forums but also to get back in touch with several people.
Your best bet is using the mirror of the old forums (although I highly wouldnāt recommend logging in considering the site itself isnāt secure) to find your old threads.
As for finding everyone again, searching here or the forummer contact thread on the old forums are probably how you would go about it.
