Nice to know it's well appreciated! Let's get this back live

I have the information I initially collected in a spreadsheet (April 08 - Sept 10) in preparation for the site, so in terms of simply having a list of the history, it is not too difficult to add what has happened since and what bonuses have been posted here. There might be the odd one or two missing from what was on the site, but essentially it could be reformed.

But there is absolutely no way it could be re-added into a database in order to create a new site. There is simply too much data entry and especially at this stage of the game's life, it is not worth it. Unfortunately, that means all the rankings will be lost.

If someone is keen, however, I can send over the spreadsheet and they can add all new and missing data and post it here. Then at least the history will be retained.

You can private message me the sheet if you want. I can work on it as a side project. It's not like it would be starting from 2008. Granted, there is still a good ~16-18 months to put in but I think I could do it (and of course I think others would most likely help too to retrieve the missing information). Eventually down the line when we have all the information back and saved the website can be remade (I'd be up to doing it if no one else wanted to).

I recovered the WR history from Google Cache and organized it a bit:
http://www.mediafire.com/?s2lddo9guw446j8

all_WRs.txt -> every WR in a text file with information seperated by commas
all_WRs.csv -> same thing as above, openable in Excel
course_html/ -> simple html table of the WR history for every course
course_txt/ -> comma serperated text file for every course

(This does not include any 2012 WRs)

This is extremely helpful, thank you Cole. I'm going to work on getting the 2012 world records there too, then I'll post a download link to the file for anyone who wants it.

When I'm done completing it, I'm going to need some help retrieving all of the videos back of the records that had them. I'll probably make a column in the Excel sheet for links to videos of each world record, so it'll be easy to document and save. When that time comes though, any help is greatly appreciated. It may take a while, but we can get all the information back.

Pierrepont: do you have any of the code/things pertaining to how you had the website backlogged anywhere? Or at the very least the beginnings of how you designed the website? If you aren't interested in rebuilding it again or paying for the site, I may invest a little myself into a site to replicate the one you previously had.
