Yes. - PPC Posting Board

Hi, folks. I'm back, but our main page seems to be MIA. by Neshomeh on 2009-05-25 03:47:00 UTC Reply

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. ^_^

If the main page went down... by thejadefalcon on 2009-05-26 11:11:00 UTC Reply

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

Nope. by Huinesoron on 2009-05-26 18:38:00 UTC Reply

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.

That's good... by thejadefalcon on 2009-05-27 10:44:00 UTC Reply

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 Buta no Kaabii on 2009-05-25 11:37:00 UTC Reply

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 Huinesoron on 2009-05-25 11:33:00 UTC Reply

As to the report, I'm working on it, I'm working on it...

hS, off to archive-trawl
Oh dear. by JulyFlame on 2009-05-25 08:00:00 UTC Reply

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

Yes. by Araeph on 2009-05-25 11:50:00 UTC Reply

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!

I've just done the same. by Huinesoron on 2009-05-25 11:56:00 UTC Reply

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 JulyFlame on 2009-05-26 04:58:00 UTC Reply
Agreed. And neither are very good for chatting anyway. (nm) by Sedri on 2009-05-25 23:21:00 UTC Reply

I just meant as a gateway page. by Huinesoron on 2009-05-25 23:26:00 UTC Reply

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.

Ooh, if we're moving... by Heliomance on 2009-05-26 12:26:00 UTC Reply

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

We're not moving. by JulyFlame on 2009-05-26 17:06:00 UTC Reply

We're just trying to figure out what to do for a replacement main page.

I should take more care with my wording. (nm) by Huinesoron on 2009-05-26 22:19:00 UTC Reply

Ah. My mistake. (nm) by Sedri on 2009-05-26 06:59:00 UTC Reply

Well, we have the Constitution and Original Series... by Sedri on 2009-05-25 11:39:00 UTC Reply

What else of importance was on there? I can't recall.

Archive.org still has the constitution... by Techno-Dann on 2009-05-25 06:35:00 UTC Reply

I've also saved a copy. It's not in its original spot any more, but it hasn't been lost to history.

^^ Go there.

The Original Series is still at Miss Cam's page... by Sedri on 2009-05-25 05:05:00 UTC Reply

The Constitution, however, I can't reach. :( This is Not Good.

Gathering photos would be lovely, though. :)
