Is it possible to archive all the old posts from a long time back? There was some valuable information there, and it would be great to the Mac community to have back.
I'll continue hacking away at this and see what I get. In the meantime, if anyone wants to see old threads, and happen to have a bookmark to it, post the address here. I'll see what I can do.
Believe me, we have tried numerous times to get in touch with the people that were running the server (Cube), but they are.... ummm... "different". If you get ahold of them, it's something like
"Can you restart the Cube?" - us
"What's a Cube?" - them
You get the idea...
But whatever you're doing KCH, keep doing it. If we can find enough of them, we may be able to have a nice "Archive" or past posts or something like that.
I've dug up a sparse smattering of pages. Stick around for another 20 minutes or so, and I should start uploading them to my server.
I'll be recreating the raw directory structure of the old AppleInsider pages at <a href="http://commons.ucalgary.ca/king/appleinsider" target="_blank">commons.ucalgary.ca/king/appleinsider</a>. I don't know how much I'll be able to get, but everything I get will be there.
One question for everyone:
Would you like me to batch modify the links inside the posts so that links to other pages (eg: page 2 of a 3 page post) work, or would you like me to leave them "as is", frozen in time?
OK. I've just uploaded some pages from "Forum1". Forum1 appears to be Future Hardware. Again, visit <a href="http://commons.ucalgary.ca/king/appleinsider" target="_blank">commons.ucalgary.ca/king/appleinsider</a> to browse the stuff.
When in doubt give it to Chung, he can find anything, even the people who own the cube and are silly enough to have it hosted with the people they did so that all this crap happened in the first place and now our history is lost can't find it ...
<strong>Can you find my keys, King Chung? </strong><hr></blockquote>
Keys? I'm definetely not the right person to ask. In fact, I carry two sets of car keys around with me because I'm bound to either lock one in the car, or leave it behind at my office (really irritating when you've walked five minutes to the parking lot).
King: Are you using the <a href="http://www.archive.org/index.html" target="_blank">Internet Wayback Machine</a>? You need to tell us how you work your magic.

sorry.

Many of the links to the threads work, and the icons, logos, smilies, etc. have been restored.
Look for a big update across all the forums this evening.
