In search of Ancient artifacts
Is there a convenient way that an internet commoner may peruse through the Basil archives? I am in search of a thread that was published in 2009-10. For those curious, I am looking for a thread in which the poster expresses an emotional and sympathetic story of her misadventures in maplestory, and how she wasted thousands of hours of time on this loved/hated game.
Further details:
As I can vaguely recall, she was a merchanter and made tens billions of mesos. When she first started the game another kind male merchanter took her as an apprentice and gifted her cash to begin her merchanting career. The story ends with her being disillusioned by the game, the free market, and her friend, and her subsequent thoughts of suicide. Apparently she was betrayed by her friend, or she may have been hacked and lost all her fortunes.
This post was quite long (300+ words) and had at least 20 pages of responses.

@dualpirate There is no easily searchable database like that here on Basilmarket beyond the basic Search function which may or may not turn up what you're looking for if you happen to hit on a relevant search term.
You can use Google to search back as far as Google maintains their search database by using the "site" modifier to specify Basilmarket, then using a Google search phrase to match anything Google remembers about Basilmarket. The general form of such a search would be:
[b]site:www.basilmarket.com Search term(s) [/b]
By using Google you can experiment with different words and names to try to bring up what you're looking for. You can also narrow the search down by using the - (minus) operator to remove irrelevant words that show up in the search results. The search may turn up a lot of results, but at least it should give you a place to start looking.
Same.
