Old comments are mostly backed up but suffer from some encoding issues - that's the first hurdle. There should be a way to merge old and new comments. I'm not exactly sure how easy that would be however. Probably pretty easy for a real sysadmin. That I am not unfortunately. I'm not sure how much value is in the old comments, but it's not worth keeping the AUR locked down while I try to figure it out.
