As far as I know they went to the full member listing in the control panel, ticked all the delete boxes and then 'update member information'.

I checked the path to the members folder and it's still the same (ie. /cgi-bin/members). That's where all the old member cgi files are. I've looked through them and I can't work out how they are deleted .. why they aren't listed any more. But it makes sense to me that they're still there, because old posts on the board refer to these members, even if they have been removed. I take it I'm right in thinking this?

Just need to know how to restore them all..
