We're sorry folks, but in the process of cleaning up the cover page in our board, we transferred Drama City here and every single post just evaporated. We don't know why. We beg forgiveness of all who had posted.

Sit tight, folks--I've volunteered to try to do something about this and have recovered about seven-eighths of what was lost through cached Web page snapshots on Google. One way or another I'll figure out how to get that content back on the board. Won't be a perfect solution, but much better than nothing.

Okay, I'm going to be restoring everything I could recover, very gradually. As in, one or two threads a day, starting with the oldest and working forward.
Of the 57 threads that were in the DC board, I've recovered all of 49 threads and little bits of the other eight. As I restore them I'm going to lock them temporarily, just to make it easier for me to keep track of where I am. When everything is back I'll unlock it all.
The only catch is that the only practical way to do this is to post text only. So it won't look like it used to. Instead, all of the text from all of the original posts will now be in a single post. That's not ideal, but the good news is that it will still allow for text-based searching. So if someone comes along looking for information on a particular episode of the series, they'll still be able to find it.
P.S. And some good news: Just tried another search technique and managed to recover the majority of what eluded me the first time. So we'll have at least 98% of the original content back.

Everything recoverable has now been restored to the DC board, and the threads have been unlocked. The Google caches saved more than 98% of what was deleted.
The board had 57 threads; all of the content in 54 of the 57 threads has been restored. Three threads were not cached for whatever reason and are incomplete. Seven posts were lost, along with part of an eighth. Which is a shame, but out of more than 400 it's not a major loss.
As everyone can see, none of it is in the original posting format; restoring it perfectly like that was impossible. The only other option would have been to post the cached pages as attachments, but the size of the attachments probably would have been a big problem. Plus, restoring the content in text form allows for text searches. So if anyone is looking for info on a particular episode, they'll be able to find it.

No problem--happy to do it. I sure didn't like the idea of losing the content for a well-known series like that.
Reading through all of the posts, I'm sorry I never paid more attention to the series when it was on. Sounds like it was fun to watch, never knowing what kind of story would turn up from one week to the next.
