Mistakes happen, and I apologize for the irritated undertones of my messages. In the end it was the right thing to do anyways. Any help anybody could provide on tracking down and linking bugs is much appreciated. I'll try and do what I can as time permits. Thanks again for the explanation and the help. :)

This is incorrect, as the sequel is not a new version of the original game, it is a new game. Can someone help me fix it? I'd delete the version but there's quite a bit of test data there. I've CC'd the version maintainers. I understand why this was fixed, but the method and timing were bad. When EverQuest II was removed as a version of EverQuest and moved to it's own appdb entry in response to this message the only thing preserved was the test data. The votes for the application, the comments (with much needed info), maintainer notes (including howtos), and even the maintainers were removed. None of the bugs reported for Everquest 2 that were linked to the app are linked anymore and do not appear on the new appdb page. After being forced to re-apply to be a maintainer once again and doing a lot of searching through cached google pages I was able to restore some of the lost info. Is there a way to link the bugs to the appdb entry or not? Can the votes for the application be restored? Why wasnt this left to a super maintainer to correct instead? Why wasnt enough time allowed for input before an arbitrary change was made?

This is really nitpicking isn't it?
