As the Tapatalk archive has been imported, this thread will now serve a new purpose. There are two things you can use this thread for:
- Requesting that your all your old posts be reassigned to your account. To do this, please post your old username. Further details in Xerxos' original post below.
- Requesting that your old thread be moved out of the archive, and posts reassigned. To do this, please visit the Fan Challenge Runs Archive and locate your thread(s), then make a post here with the relevant link(s). If you'd like us to merge your old thread into a new one you've made, post a link to both threads and let us know, we can sort that for you!

The old forum's threads won't be imported for at least a few more days, but I'd like to get a head start on this. When we import posts, they won't be automatically linked with your forum account here; the post author will be a guest with your Tapatalk forum username as its name. We're able to change post authors, but doing that manually for every single post in FCR would be a time-consuming nightmare. I'm planning on writing a script that will automatically convert post authors so that thread and post OPs will be able to edit their own threads and posts, but I'll need your help for that! I'll need to compile a database of old and new usernames, so post your old username here alongside a link to the Tapatalk thread you want imported. Please do this even if your old and new usernames are identical. Keep in mind that all data was acquired prior to May 9th, 2019, so if you changed your Tapatalk username since then, make sure to post your old username. You will also be required to port any posts from after May 9th manually, since we don't have them in our database.
TL;DR: If you want your old Fan Challenge Run threads to be imported, please post your old username (as it was on May 9th) as well as Tapatalk links to the threads.
