Help Archived "Introductory Threads" from Old HPs?

[Quincunx]

Hi all,

I'm searching the Archives for something HP-related, and I can't find it. Am I searching for the wrong thing, or is this type of thing lost forever?

For further context:

The thing I'm looking for is the "introduction" to an old HP from October 2016, titled RWBY: Live Long In Color (I think that was the title? It was a really long time ago). I can find the OOC, and a few other threads. I don't remember the text within the "introduction". I know that old HPs today have an "introductory thread" topic created for them, but I don't know if that happened for this older HP (archived before the return to XF), or what it might be called if it did.

Can someone tell me whether what I'm looking for exists in the archives, and if so, how I would search for it?

Hey there Quincunx

All HP information that was posted in the HPs (not the threads, but the HP itself) on IPS were converted into a thread via the RpNation staff account to preserve it. However, such a search only resulted really in one thread which I am not sire is the one you are looking for: https://www.rpnation.com/threads/in...-move-please-dont-delete.297350/#post-7486582

So if this was an introduction thread (as in an actual thread within the HP forums), we'd need the name of the original poster.

This was not an actual thread; this was like... I don't know what you call it? The "landing" page that had the description of the HP in it, and was above the container for the main forums. Does that help? The HP was made by me.

(So that is not the one I was looking for thank you though)

Anything from Staff-chan that says "Don't Delete" like that (a couple are from me instead) are the summary/intro from the main page of the IPS-style HPs (IPS being the forum software we were using at the time). We put them into threads because when we switched back to the xF software, we knew all those main pages would be lost and turned into an ordinary forum container (hence the "Don't Delete"). Have you clicked on that thread to see if it has what you're looking for in it?

I've found three other introductory things with 'RWBY' in them:

But I'm not perticularly hopeful that any are yours. Got made into threads during the transit from IPS to XF. I'm not sure what happened to the introduction piece of already-archived HPs.
