1. Links are back.
The links database from the old site has been resurrected! You can access it by the "Links" link on your menu bar (or column, if you use the Simplicity theme).
In order to avoid spamming, I've set the links policy to be the same as the PM policy - you must have at least one public post in order to add a link to the database. Also, I've set it so that all new links must be approved by a moderator or by myself before they become publicly accessible. To add a link, browse to the category where it belongs and find the "Add Link" link at the bottom of the page.
I will need your help in one respect. The links that were brought over are intact from the state they were in when the old site crashed back in 2005. This means that some of them are probably dead at this point. If you're browsing the links DB and find a dead link, please let me know by PMing me directly.
EDIT - major props to lauria, who went through and found every single broken link and sent me a PM - with many of the new locations included! Lauria's now sporting a new custom title as a thank you.
2. Articles are back too!
Also, there's a new board down in the Archives, which contains all the original stories from the main page of the old site. These are a bit creaky, but provided for your reference.
3. Theme adjustments
The "Terra Incognita" theme has been deleted as nobody was using it anyhow. Simplicity and Babylon themes now have links to the Chat and Links areas.
Other tiny surprises are scattered about as well, but not quite fully implemented yet. More to come as my day job requires less of my time in the fall/winter months.
