Archiving 101

Post by Omphalos »

I was wondering if anyone else wanted to suggest some things from other various boards that should be archived here. I already started moving personal things over here, and Im going to continue doing that. But I was wondering if anyone else thought that there was anything that should come over as well. Suggestions?

I was thinking of SC's conversations about the diameter of Dune, our conversation (started I think by Phaedrus (?)) about AI, and the debate about FTL engines, which I think ran on two threads. Any others you guys who are banned miss, or think would be good to have here away from the stupidity. And please, no conversations where TAZ or arnolod are involved, or at least cannot be easily edited out for good.

Is the diameter stuff still up over there?

Someone...who was it?...came along later and posted some interesting things based on orbital harmonics (or something like that) that I hadn't even considered. That stuff would be worth saving....

I didn't start that debate, but I like to think I finished it. :D

Off-topic, but I saw the thread in the Characters forum over on the DN BBS where you guys just quoted Arny's OP.

I think maybe he's starting to come to his senses... a little.

This from the guy who bought how many new Dune books, hoping they would get better? ;)

I didn't see any evidence of it, but then I was just peeking and you're there more....so I'll defer to your judgement for the moment.

At least I didn't read Snadworms. :lol:

He's odd. I think he's a prime example of what reading the prequels first can do to someone. But he's obviously interested so I keep trying.

arnoldo has been keeping a pretty low profile since I reamed him out on Chig's blog. I'd like to think that I had something to do with stopping the moronery, but its probably something as simple as a new dosage level of lithium. Whatever the reason, its a good thing that he stopped being so disruptive. Id actually be happiest if he just went away, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Freak, you cannot possibly be thinking that you are going to reform that little troll, are you? Good luck! He's as fickle as the fucking wind.

I wouldn't mind seeing a thread dedicated to the last stands people had at DN and Arrakeen. I think I saved The Preacher's a while back. That was good stuff.

Ill put one up. Anyone who was banned at DN who would like for me to get their blazes of glory, send me a PM and Ill do it. If someone would not mind getting mine from Arrkeen, I would appreciate it.

I don't remember the url to her old site. She's got a link to her blog in her profile now. Shoot.. I don't even know if her old site still exists.
