I found an archive of the totse forums, but it's missing a lot of stuff. It's the most complete set of community forum posts I can find, however. I've compressed it and made it available here: http://darknedgy.net/files/TotseArchive.tar.xz
Just for distributions sake, someone else should probably download that from here just in case. But alas, it does not have thread VIII, as far as I can tell. Feel free to dig through and see if you can find it in there. I then came across this thread:
http://nightops.net/forum/viewtopic.php ... hilit=VIII
In this thread, according to Ghost, VIII was *never created.* I wasn't around then, or wasn't active anyway, so I have no idea if this is true or not. But I was grepping around in my archives, and I found these links:
Which did not work, and the files appear to be missing afaik. I think we have those on the history page, anyway, though. But no VIII :\http://www.totse.com/community/archive/ ... -p-67.html: <li> <a href="t-1724805.html">Night Ops VII</a> <i>(2 replies)</i></li>

So I don't think there's even any record of them existing.
But I also asked for help from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/totse/comments ... um_thread/
And now we'll see if anyone there has any luck. It seems like VIII never existed, though.
