User based Index for old RDF Forum

[Sityl]

I wasn't around at the time, did they get banned/accounts removed and have all their posts deleted?

They were dark days.

[Onyx8]

Kinda like the Red Wedding.

[Mazille]

Yeah. They stabbed my baby too.

I am glad I was never a member of RDF forums!

It's a good, clean feeling, isn't it?

Funnily enough, your name shows up in NB's index in the OP. Mine doesn't.

This online index was limited to users with more than n posts where n was something like 300 or so. Maybe you had less than n posts. You should be in the full download, though.

I had at least 11,500 posts -all of which were bollcoks of course!

It was worth it bro -sticking it to Josh and Andrew!

The rest of the mod team were not too impressed at my unilateral decision.

What happened to you and Maz was a fucking OUTRAGE!

To Maz yes. I was never really mod material --I was too partizan.

[THWOTH]

They were mods, who on the day of the day of OUTRAGE disagreed with the course being taken and had their accounts, along with all their posts, deleted from the database by an incompetent idiot who didn't have the first clue about what was going on or how to operate the forum software, and who took exception to having that pointed out.

It goes without saying that we weren't all very excited by the proposed changes but, as they say, it's been done to death and much water has been passed since.

Bookmarked.

[hackenslash]

Gone for nearly a year, and all you've got is 'bookmarked'?!!

Hello Kate. You've been missed.

[surreptitious57]

Have you got the glasses that you need yet because
September to January is not nearly a year ha ha ha
Unless you are living on a planet with a faster orbit

[EquivoKate]

I had no idea that Ratskep missed me.#absentfriends a couple of Ratskeppers are following me on twitter I can PM twitter handle to keep private.@hackenslash.xxxx

[EquivoKate]

Bookmarking is not a worthy response for #longlostfriends

[Fallible]

Edited to remove bollocks.

[Alan B]

OUCH!

[hackenslash]

Feck! Not only do I not make bird noises, I recently deleted my FB account.

You want some of that ol' hackenslash goodness, you'll have to stick around.

[EquivoKate]

FB is crap anyway FB tries to intrude on stuff that is none of their business iike who do you know?? what the fuck??

[WayOfTheDodo]

Seems the forum is completely gone now? Still downloading the archive... is it searchable? Or has anyone set up a search engine for it?

[NineBerry]

The archive download has no search functionality. But it is just a collection of html files, so you can use any desktop search engine to index and search it. (For example the default Windows Desktop Search by telling Windows to index the folder)

[WayOfTheDodo]

Thanks. It took me at least 12 hours to unpack the file, and I'm not using FileSeek to sift through the files. I've already found some interesting stuff. Good old days, eh?

[NineBerry]

12 hours? Are you using an Abacus? ^^
