I was certainly more active then.  And I liked the Post History better, and there were timestamps, and there was a Photo Album (I can still access my photos so I know they aren't deleted, why was the feature hidden from us ) 

Probably in an attempt to speed up the site. ioi has been obsessed with speeding up the site in the past few years. I remember talking to a few mods when vgchartz 2.0 was in beta. ioi was really pushing for wall posts to delete themselves after 30 days. Luckily there was enough resistance against it to keep them. 

Do you have a link to your photoalbum? I have a couple of pictures in my old photoalbum that I want, but I don't know the url =( 

No, I don't have access to my photo album, but the pictures are still there, because they are still in the threads!  So if you posted them anywhere, you can try to hunt them down and get the link or just copy the photo back onto your computer.

Well he hasn't done a great job of that, since VGChartz is almost definitely the slowest site that I regularly visit- it's incredibly slow at times

I was thinking of asking a mod for permission to make this an "Official" thread, but now that all the unrest has come about (including that "Official" threads should be heavily limited), I don't feel that this is the right time to ask :P Maybe another time

Back on the matter of Ponies, i've finally seen all the episodes, with Ponyville Confidential and MMMystery on the Friendship Express being the last two i needed.

Rainbow's objection to having her hooves touched seemed... peculiar...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Awesome :D  Ponyville Confidential and MMMystery on the Friendship Express are actually two of my favourite episodes (not including the usual suspects)

Bah, I guess I'll start looking through old threads. I actually found a link to Words of Wisdom's album but it led back to the front page

Yeah, the thought crossed my mind while I was watching the episode, but they never mentioned it again, so I didn't think about it. What did you think of MMMystery?

You should just go ahead and throw official in the title. THe mods really don't care about it. And I doubt that any members are even going to think twice about it 



radishhead on 28 May 2012

Have I said how awesome your new avatar is, TJ? I love it xD

I'm going to add "Official" to it right now - I doubt anyone will notice, but I'll get cakes and we'll have a party to celebrate!

Oh no!  I might have misinformed you!  I went back to find an example, to make sure the old pictures weren't from tinypic or something dumb like that, and found at least one example of the picture not being there anymore, when it definitely used to be in my photo album, and I don't think I deleted it. 
EVIDENCE evidence
So even if not all of them got disappeared, I think some of them did.  So you might be hunting ghosts.  Sorry man. 

Viewing the HTML gives me the URL of the disappeared picture, http://www.vgchartz.com/photos/pics/2724654aaa.jpg and it redirects to the front page.  I could have sworn the pictures used to work, so either (1) I misremembered; (2) some of them work and some don't; (3) they worked for a while after the photo albums were disabled but got purged much more recently.

It was a really funny picture, too.

Ah man. =/ 

I don't think you are misremembering. I remember they were up well after the photoalbums were removed. They probably all got deleted once we moved from vgchartz to gamrconnect. There were a few pics in those albums that I made too, vgchartz history and all that, that I didn't bother uploading to photobucket. At least you saved me some time scouring old threads looking for them 

@Radish 

Thanks!
