The old Gonegold forum data
Well, I thought we were going to get a copy of this. Originally from the summer (which got wiped when the plug was pulled, I understand it), then from March. Unfortunatley, it turns out I was mistaken.
We've tried very hard to track down the March data, but it doesn't look like we will be able to.
The situation with the data works like this:
1) We were concerned about the legalties of using it. Ken seemed to think we were in the clear, but this was something we hadn't finished investigating.
2) Our initial plans were to do a full import into a phpBB install, and then lock it down . This would have been an archive forum in essence.
3) We would then consider importing just user data to this, and go from there.
Maybe it's best to start fresh for the operations forum, I don't know. I would have liked to have gotten the old stuff archived, though. I know there are alot of threads there people poured their hearts & minds into. For the loss of those, I am sorry.

Well, why don't you make a thread about it and try? We'd definately try to accomodate in this effort.Bummer.
One thing we could do is appeal to everyone to share all their saved threads and we could stash those somewhere.
I have the 9/11 thread for starters. Don't know if we'd gather enough to make it worth bothering though.

I have a number of my Quinn threads archived - but I'm sure that has limited appeal, and it's all been converted to PDF files. But if someone is interested, and wants to host them - I could email them over, and create a post with links.
I can think of a couple people who would appreciate that, but I don't have any net storage places to put them.

And in banks across the world
Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Jews
And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray
The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range
