Its a shame that watmm didn't have backups when it went down 2 or 3 times early this decade.

 

All that history lost.

 

say what you like about XLT, but their post history is unbroken and goes back to at least 2000. If you have the patience to move back through their history far enough you can go and see what people were writing about on Sep 11th 2001 ... its actually pretty interesting.

 

At the moment watmms post history only goes back to november 2005.

I do have backups, but they were from prior versions of the board, etc. - it would take too much effort to try and merge the old data with the current data.

And the reason XLT's history goes back to 2000 is because they are still using software written in 2000! :laughing:

xlt has the aphextwin.nu history as well.

if we managed to merge the backups with the current board then there would be at least a month of bumping old threads

an archive URL for the olllld iterations of watmm would be pretty sweet. you could go through and browse but it'd be read only so you wouldnt lose any action on this board.

lol @ Keltoi, that video is the best ever created.

Fucking LOL! I remember that!

Seriously, though - while a read-only archive would be *great* to have, shouldn't my rather limited time and energies be focused on getting the site going again?

I've actually been toying with taking WATMM back to orange as one of the colours...

ORANGE

Yup. Although, it wouldn't be the overused orange of designs about 2 years ago or so - it would be a refreshing, unique orange, almost leaning towards a more reddish orange.

it would be interesting to see how much a drastic color change would influence the overall mood around here. i bet it would be significant and fascinating.

Well, considering how crabby people get about a signature separator...

BTW, I'm changing that too today, after lunch - you heard it here first.

Watch the sparks fly!

CONTROVERSIAL JOYREX

I think orange is a good idea.

THAT LINE IS YOUR FOOT IN THE SAND

I say go with a vomit inducing strobe light background.
