Anything in particular, or did Craig's answer bring you joy? Those were the really old passion; the first version. Then there was the second version, and this is the third version.
If you have links from the second version that no longer work, I can convert them so that they do, or show you how.
That's good stuff. I'm looking for stuff from version 2 though. Specifically, some of the good old fashioned troll lynchings we used to have. I wish I'd thought to bookmark those threads. We have a troll who pops up occasionally on the local boards and I remember the hilarious ways they were dealt with on here. Just looking for some ideas. Thanks.
The real problem is that when they transitioned the database, they lost the links to the images that were linked via the image submit box. Inline <img src=...> images survived.
If you look at the link you posted, and my response, the original link contains a hexidecimal number towards the end. Convert it to all upper case, and add a zero to the front so it's eight digits:
See the "efbc75b"? Make it 0EFBC75B and put it into this format:
http://archive.mtbr.com/##/0EFBC75B.php
The ## is what forum it was. 00 for passion, 17 for SS, 09 for general, etc. You can get the values from http://archive.mtbr.com/index.php.
I haven't figured out how the original forum is encoded into the other part of the original URL. My program goes through all the forums looking for a valid page, and stops when it finds it. All the links I had were either passion or the SS board, so it was easy. Your link to general took me 10 tries to figure out.
If you have your links in a file, email it to me, and I'll convert it and send it back.
Has anyone found the first Passion board posts on the net?
That would be pre Aug. 28 2001.
