Hi, folks. I'm back, but our main page seems to be MIA. by

I'm back from England, returned to the place where I have unlimited internet access! Yay!
Unfortunately, I'm trying to show a friend of mine around the PPC, but the Odd Lots pages seem to be missing. Does anyone know why that might be? Have we just lost the Constitution and the Original Series? O.o
Man, I leave for one month, and things fall apart... sheesh... I tell ya... meh.
In other news, I have Gathering photos, which I'll have in sharable form eventually. Hopefully hS will have a synopsis to go with them, too. *g*
But, yeah. Getting the main page back would be nice. In the meantime, I have a crate of tea and some warm scones with clotted cream and jam to unload. Feel free to partake. ^_^

(not that I ever went there), does that mean the forum might not be far behind?

The main page was hosted by P@L; the Board was merely (formerly) modded by her. They're not anything to do with each other, fortunately.

does this mean, however, that we may be able to... you know... get a new main page? One that's up to date?

Well, that isn't good. by

The main site just dying all of a sudden is a Very Bad Thing. Although there isn't much that can be done at the moment as far as I know, so...
*noms some scones, drinks some tea, and abruptly vanishes* -
It's finally gone down, then? by

Does anyone have the rest of the stuff that was on the oddlots site saved?

I saved the links to all the stuff that was only archived on oddlots, and I just went back through the Internet archive and copied it onto my computer. I'll post it to the PPC livejournal comm. as soon as I can. It might take a while, though; it's 208 pages of text.
This includes:
LotR Litmus Test
Buffyverse Basic Charge List
PPC Substance Menu
PPC missions of...
Agent Nath
Agents Kazra and Rich
Agents Kwennyfer and Jane
Agents Rhydux, Honorificus, and Ginmar
Hope that helps!

But I grabbed the source codes for everything instead.
Here it all is.
Now, the question is, are we going to have a new homepage for the Board? And if so, where? And will it be an updating one?
I vote for not putting it on the wiki or the LJ community unless we run out of other ideas; it's far too eggs-in-one-basket for my liking.

Agreed on the not putting it on the wiki bit. (nm) by

The Board itself is independent of the Oddlots site; we just need a page that leads into it, so people can link to that instead of the Board, which occasionally changes its address for no reason. Also, it could give a quick rundown of who the PPC are, for the inquisitive.

Can we PLEASE put the board somewhere that doesn't have tose sarden annoying beeping ads?

I've also saved a copy. It's not in its original spot any more, but it hasn't been lost to history. - Blah, HTML fails... by on 2009-05-25 06:36:00 UTC Reply

The Constitution, however, I can't reach. :( This is Not Good.
Gathering photos would be lovely, though. :)
