wtf just happened?
I literally have no idea what the forum did. I know the only thing I tried to do was merge all those posts but I got an error saying lower the post to 10000 characters. After that I left it alone.
Anywho, good thing I'm able to restore posts. Your posts are back.

Ok thanks. That's why they are in so many different posts. When i tried to copy it all into one it gave me the 10,000 character limit message.
Sorry if it's too much, but a lot of cool stuff in my posts.
