Spore user Michael Brodesky wanted me to pass along the thought that if you lost content during the recent crash, you should check the Internet Archive, in particular the Wayback Machine. I can't really figure out what it chooses to archive and what it chooses to leave behind, but there's a chance it might be able to help some of you out.
While I've got you all here, I'd like to point out that Spore-friend and user Todd Courtois is still looking for folks to help defray the expenses he took on to try to get the drive recovered. His efforts were heroic and unstinting, and it seems unfair that he should have to eat that two hundred bucks when he was trying to do something for all of us. Thanks to the people who've contributed so far!
