I've Been Away for a While and Clearly Missed Something...

Postby Taft » Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:03 am

Hey, guys...it's been a while (alright, a long while) since I've posted here. I came back this evening, and I noticed something: We're short a site. Uh...I hate to ask, but what happened to the website?

Boom!
My exact thought when I read the question.

And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Why do I not like the sound of that?

*sighs*

Alright, for a more specific question...What made it go boom?

We might be able to give a better answer if you say what "a while" is, as the site has been in a few different incarnations over time. I don't remember your name, but if you were last here more than about six or seven years ago, then I wasn't there.

The site went through the big boom, then a small rebirth, a scoot, and now were still getting back on track.

I was last here about two-three years ago; I think I remember having to re-register on the forum here. The last I recall, we had an elaborate main page (with lots of pages attached to it).

Since then, there was http://web.archive.org/web/200610040451 ... icweb.net/ (unless you saw that the last time you were here) on the front page for awhile, but was mostly nonfunctional (archive.org doesn't appear to have the images, though). I think last I heard Amka was working on making parts of the main site user-editable or something? In any case, there's been a few times where we've changed hosts, and a couple of times we lost forum data (from stuff crashing, I think). I don't think main site info was all lost, was it? But it's being rebuilt now, as far as I know.

Oh, and this is the third incarnation of the forum, if my counting is right. You must have been from Pweb II.

If you're looking for stuff that was in e.g. the old encyclopedia, timelines, etc., some information contributed mostly by pwebbers can be found on the wiki Noodle started, at http://ansible.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page . But as I recall, it could still use contributors.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Did you have a different name on the old Pweb? Or were you always Taft? A lot of members have changed names and it's hard to keep everyone straight. Either way, welcome back!
