The thing is, in theory, we did have everything saved.
I'm going to guess that (generally speaking) people are aware of / remember the whole 'website down while we move away from our old server hosts' situation - so for those who may be unaware of this or joined us after that occurred, that's a thing that happened which was oh so very very fun! (Please pardon my sarcasm, it keeps me alive).
So, as I mentioned, in theory, we had everything saved, yea? There should have been backups - for the wiki, too.
There was none. For the 8 years that we were there... 0 backups. not just for the wiki - I'm talking for the entire website -- Anyone who was left wondering why we changed server hosts probably has a pretty good idea why we did it now, lol.
Honestly, we're kinda lucky that we didn't need any backups. At all. Losing sprites from the wiki at that point was the absolute least of our worries. And, ultimately, that's why the wiki is now hosted on the same server as the website now, rather than a separate server.
We did our own database backups (that was what the downtime used to be for) so we told them not to do, specifically, database backups.
... That didn't mean "don't do file backups" but, hey - they didn't do them and that's why everything got lost.
As for files... We don't expect people to keep them. We've recovered what we can and there was an active effort behind it and I'm fairly sure that anyone who had anything has already 'given it'.
So... This is what we have.
It ain't perfect and I personally hate how it turned out but... What can ya do. This is why we moved hosts. /shrug
Well at least we didn't lose anything too important right? It sucks that the sprites are gone but at least the site's data wasn't lost or at least 99% of it wasn't

He's here!! I'm so happy Scaracross is finally in the flesh! I loved this ghostly bug the moment he was shown to me! Massive kudos to the artists and co who made him a reality! Idk why but I'm really digging the way the wings were made on this sprite! Also the shiny look of his body parts is beautiful! <333
