Why the **** is nobody working on the VN backup!?!
« on: September 07, 2009, 06:42:59 am »

See title. Seriously, when is someone going to do this? There was a thread were lots of people said they would, but everyone seems to have forgotten about it, and the clock is ticking! >:(

(The reason I don't do it myself is I have no idea how to write the necessary scripts)

Because seriously, Armok, we don't care. VN was a one-time thing, it won't be resurrected in the New VN or whatever. What is the use of backing it up, especially ALL of it, sure there a few gold threads here and there, but we all have better things to do than go over the threads in VN and reminisce about old times.

Indeed. Nobody cares about VN anymore. I'm slightly ashamed it happened in the first place, though it did make me noticeable. Quite frankly, you left it a bit to late to try and save the place and the place is one that nobody cares about anymore. Let it die, Armok.

I just keep being too lazy...

I have the javascript script that mostly worked, but just never got around to learnin enough PHP for file saving and rewriting some/all of the javascript to pass along the page.

I like to think of it as the place where the rest of the internet would leak in. I browsed through the threads a while back.

It was apocalyptic.

Various Nonsense, it used to be the entire finally section then the rest of the finally section was created and it became a softcore /b/ since it had no purpose any more.

Looking back through, it would seem that many of the posts have had to be retrospectively edited to remove the weird stuff that was being posted there.  Also, after having looked through the Yuri thread and a few other threads, I decided to write off anyone with an anime avatar as a pervert.  Sorry, I know it's unfair, but it did seem to work quite well as a general rule, looking back through the various weirdness.  Baughn and a few other people are exempt from this rule, however.

 That... is a pretty accurate rule there. Even nowadays.

 I just thought we didn't work on it because we are just too lazy to trawl through our old nonsense to look for slightly more entertaining nonsense. The stuff I really remember is safely in other forums already. Like everything about Tibbles.

Buck up friendo, we're all on the level here.
I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Hey, Baughn is also a pervert, if we are going with that logic.

:D

Sorry, I have another test for weirdness.  Search for a variety of terms under their username (you can probably guess what words).  And you, IWM, fail that test pretty badly, I'm afraid.

I'm fine with perversion.

Back on the topic: srsly I have what I wanted. Just the amazing great charter. Nothing else is THAT worth saving
