JDFF

Just gonna assume this is Kot.

Screencapped this for some reason:

all we have to show for a decades boarding is a few vamos-related screencaps

the internet archaeologists of the future will conclude that the JDFF was some sort of refuge for sufferers of early-onset dementia

Surely somebody at least saved the polls and the blurbs for the last few years?

Who are you?

I think it's rob

and I'm sure Mitch and Udon both have all the lists safely secreted in their respective stat dungeons

thought for one glorious moment that the Happy Monday's drug monkey had hijacked the JDFF:



spent a slightly less glorious but highly educational 5 minutes on wikipedia reading about the history of public radio broadcasting in Chicago

jesus

my whole life

gone in an instant

a decade of writing

Is there no way any of it can be retrieved? Was still hoping in the back of my mind it was just down for maintenance.

No-one has said to me it's gone. Just it wouldn't be back for a couple of weeks.

Honestly would be a bit of a relief to learn that time swallowed some of the idiotic things I posted in 2006. Or 2013.

Yeah. Near the end of my JDFF tenure, I euthanized a whole bunch of my old posts. Not particular ones, just all of them starting from the oldest going forward. They took away deletion rights at some point before I finished.

was gay guy who camps and now its a big deal still posting at the end or is the vanity-published eco-horror fiction writing game monopolising his time these days?

Let's be honest here...it needs to die and not come back.

Yeah, seriously. Aside from Blaze's EOY lists, I can't think of anything of value that'd be lost if it were deleted.

The last of the great Hickman, Damo and William Tell boarding probably disappeared in the previous board reset.

i guess

you guys are so fucking bitter

At least I know that Mitch has saved my Indie/Alternative Thread. I would hate to ever see that get lost in cyberspace abyss.

As hard as it is to believe now, there was some gold on that board at one time.

I missed it all. That's not a sarcastic slight either. I just came in at the tail end of it and undoubtedly contributed to its eventual demise.

So much crazy shit happened on that board and eventually off it when people started hanging out. I was never involved in those hang outs but somehow got roped into those happenings.

That one chick - YellowGirl - her husband used to send me PMs how she was cheating on him with other boarders. All that is gone now and the board is reduced to really boring internet commentary,

If everything is gone it'll be a shame, I have the lists but I don't have all the old blurbs, though many of those are on RYM, the threads themselves have plenty of gold in.

If everything in the archives and a few other threads could be saved and downloaded that would be great; The Operator Please one, In Rainbows, Laura Marling, some Sickpupian debates.
