Hi Bloggers - Let's Do the Time Warp, Again...

Dawno · Jul 2, 2006

OK, if you read the announcement at the top of the forum you know that all posts since May 23rd are gone. For now. We may have a more recent back-up and that would bring us closer to the present (back to the future?) when it's installed.

Since it's the 4th of July weekend for us 'mericans, it's likely our tech guru is on holiday and blissfully unaware of the situation.

Here's what I would like to suggest - don't try to re-create threads or posts - yet. If you want to save stuff on your hard-drive, no harm done. Let's wait it out a while, though, before we go to a lot of work to reclaim lost stuff (I particularly bewail the loss of the AW Chain posts) and see what happens.

Save anything important to your hard drive. Keep the faith, we'll be over this bump in the road quicker than you can "...jump to the left, And then a step to the right, With your hands on your hips, You bring your knees in tight, But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane, Let's do the Time Warp again!"

I've found the AW chain posts, page 1-8, but am missing page 5, I don't know where it is, but I keep on searching.

In Google Caché.

KellyC · Jul 2, 2006

Well done, Forbidden!

I was just thinking, "Darn it - my wittiest comments happened in the past month!"

And from the looks of my "posts" counter, there were about 100 of them.

I'm sure we'll figure out what's going on soon enough.

I was so darn-tootin' excited about that chain! I'm still for it even if we have to start all over from role call

!

JennaGlatzer · Jul 3, 2006

Time to recreate. I'm sorry, guys! No one has a more recent backup, so let's put back what we can from cache.

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 3, 2006

I uploaded the pages I found, if someone wants to recreate the thread?

http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/Attie/awchain1.htm
http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/Attie/awchain2.htm
http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/Attie/awchain3.htm
http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/Attie/awchain4.htm
http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/Attie/awchain6.htm

If someone manages to find Page 5, or has Page 5?

And it seems that the third chain is lost. Kelly do you have the list? Is someone recreating the list?
We started with me [http://infinitevanity.livejournal.com] and from there on you can follow the chain, as far as it went and maybe recreate the end?

L M Ashton · Jul 3, 2006

I have the order for all three chains. Here's the list for the third chain. Don't know how far it got except that it didn't reach me.

Forbidden Snowflake
Fireflies in the Cloud
Musings of a Writing Wife
Mad Scientist Matt's Lair
Youth - Our Greatest Natural Resource
The Road Less Traveled
Jennifer Sando
Peregrinas
Flying Shoes
Southern Expressions
Organized Chaos

Tiffany's Smorgasbord

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 3, 2006

I think only the two first posts are up, no?

And thx

L M Ashton · Jul 3, 2006

No problem.

I had it on my blog, so it was no biggie transferring it over.

I thought it reached Mad Matt, but I'm not sure. Give me a few minutes and I'll check.

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 3, 2006

On Julia's blog, there's still the post of the first chain up? Or am I wrong?

Do we recreate the thread with the posts we have?

L M Ashton · Jul 3, 2006

I checked 'em out - you're right, only the first two had posted in the third round.

And yeah, I guess we do. recreate the threads as is, I suppose.

Is it complete with html or no? I have the complete list for all three threads - including permalinks to specific posts for the first two threads. I can also post that separately if it'll help people navigate around.

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 3, 2006

How about we repost the thread, with what was in the Caches? [Which is linked above] and then in the last post, you add all three lists? Like, first post of the rest of the thread

L M Ashton · Jul 3, 2006

Sounds fine to me. Do you wanna? Or do you want me to?

L M Ashton · Jul 3, 2006

I found the Googlecache for page 5, but... It only has one entry.

Simran · Jul 3, 2006

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 4, 2006

New thread? This thread? Other chain thread? For reposting I mean. And yes, the one post thing I found too, which is weird.

L M Ashton · Jul 4, 2006

I'm going to vote for a new thread with a descriptive title. This thread has a lot of misc. stuff in it.

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 4, 2006

Ok, so, I start a new thread with the title: AW Chain? Or? Help me with posting? I take first page, you second and so on? It's a lot of work to get that down, with only the names.

Username and then the post inbetween quote tags? Or?

L M Ashton · Jul 4, 2006

Wait, there's a thread here. Post there.

You can see what I've done in another thread to give you an idea. It doesn't have to be like that exactly, but that's the general idea.

And at the end, I think give a summary post with the links to the first two threads (with permalinks) and links to the third thread.

L M Ashton · Jul 4, 2006

I'll take the first page if you like. Well, really, I don't care - you decide.

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 4, 2006

I said me page one, not you

I'm not moving if we do it double again

I just invested 9203482390428 minutes formatting that stuffs

(Ok, I'm exaggerating

)

Tell me which page you take so that we don't double it again?

L M Ashton · Jul 4, 2006

Sorry, I didn't hear from you, and I wanted to get done - I have other things to do as well, and I didn't see your note about you doing page one until... And I didn't know if you got started already or not, and...

I've got page two done. I can delete the first.

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 4, 2006

Ok, I do three now.. so you can do 4 and then i do six, ok?

L M Ashton · Jul 4, 2006

What about five?

I can do that one... Then there's 7 and 8 as well.

Forbidden Snowflake · Jul 4, 2006

Ok, add five to four

Did you find 7 and 8? Because I didn't find them?
