    Threads that had an incomplete theme or an invalid download link were removed. The Megaupload takedown wiped out a lot of our theme downloads, so this needed to be done.

    The threads are still present in this forum in a soft-deleted state, so if your theme is gone and you wish to update with a working download then post here. The thread can then be restored and updated.

    Thanks to the Theme Recovery Project, we were able to update links for Blood Bounty, Clarity, and Full Moon. Good job.

    Props to Nexus for doing all the work of sifting through threads!

    I saw someone posting in the 2.0.05 news thread asking how to re-download the old version, so I suppose we do.

    They're also useful as reference material if people want to port them to v2. I may be doing DN's G6 myself.

    Could we add a new tag ("Theme missing download") and undelete the topics, setting them to that tag? This would make it much easier for theme authors to update their threads once they've reuploaded, and may encourage more people to come forward with replacement downloads.

    Good idea. I made the prefix and I asked Nexus to help look through the threads.

    Should be done soon.
