I spent a bunch of my childhood on a public Minecraft server called Thinghunter. It's been dead for a long time now. I would like to have a copy of the world files for nostalgia purposes. This is proving difficult.
Thinghunter had its own forums, and when it went down, the owner posted the world files for download there. Unfortunately the forums themselves are now offline. You can find the posts on the internet archive, but the download links don't work.
The owner's username was RAY0911. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to have much of an online presence, and upon researching him a bit recently, I discovered that most of it seems to be devoted to gay porn. I tried messaging him on Instagram, but it doesn't seem like he uses that account anymore.
There were a number of other mods on the server who might also have access, plus a bunch of users probably downloaded it and have their own copy.
I'll pay M$50,000 to anyone who gets me a full copy of all of the world files. (Including old ones; the server would sometimes do a world reset to let people claim new land, and if one happened after I quit, my buildings would not be in the last world file. So I want the older ones too.)
If you're able to get only some of the files, I'll pay a partial bounty in rough proportion to how much of what I wanted is in there.
Resolves NO if nobody succeeds by the end of January. (If I find them myself, or someone outside of Manifold does it, market still resolves YES, there's just no bounty.)
There will be no AI clarifications added to this market's description.

I predict that you will. Because I uploaded them at this link. :)

This currently includes all the survival worlds and one of the minigame worlds.
You can keep the bounty btw. Though if you have any old screenshots or videos or anything of the server then feel free to share them with me, I'd love to see them! Or if not, maybe share the coordinates to your old builds. :)
@C6RlP You're amazing. Will check these out later. Happy to donate the bounty if you'd prefer that.
Found a couple random screenshots, I don't have much:
I didn't build anything super impressive; My house was a desert pyramid I put a beacon in out as far from civilization as I could get, and I had some shops around popular areas.
I was more focused on the in-game economy than building. I was the richest user by a large margin for most of my time there, at one point I got banned because they thought I had cheated to get that much money. (I had just found an arb.)
Do you think there's any chance the other minigame worlds still exist?
So the title asks if you will manage to find "a" save file, but the bounty is about finding a full copy of all the world files (which seems a lot harder ig?). it also says "Resolves NO if nobody succeeds by the end of January". So.. is the market resolving YES if you find all world files or only at least one?
