A GREAT SADNESS the Classical Allusions thread has been deleted from IMDB Board

(1/6) > >>

Casey Cornelius:
It is no more.

Since most everyone here had something to contribute to the fantastic, exhillarating, intellect-expanding time we
shared with the Classical Allusions thread on IMDB, I thank you for all of your input as all of us helped each other to a greater understanding, appreciation and awe for the miracle that is the film of Brokeback Mountain.

BUT, it was deleted today.
It was devastating to open an e-mail notice of a recent reply to the thread and see all 560+ entries now reduced to a list of 'post deleted' indications.
  stichbuffymoulin fan was the last contributor, apparently, but I have no idea what they said.
If you're 'listening' would you be able to share with all of us, what the last official post to the Classical Allusions thread might have been?
 


I am in mourning for all of our work and for what this says about the present state of the IMDB Brokeback Board.
I am of the mind, if I become more spiteful, to delete my account and all trace of my posts from there.

I know that many of you have saved the Classical Allusions thread in various caches.  I saved it to CD myself as well, but it would be helpful if anyone who's saved some of the best threads from IMDB to let us know where they might be found to guide future acolytes who might want to enjoy that wonder of a thread which we all created.

I feel a great sadness.

That is very tragic news, Casey...a great loss...I have some of that thread saved (initial posting thru maybe two weeks ago?) in a text file.  You or other, more active posters probably have more recent versions.  By the way, I shared the posts about the Chinese symbolism with someone at work today who expressed an interest.

My condolences to the IMDB regulars...

I am sad that it will not be there for new comers once the DVD hit the market. but if it's any consolation, I archived the thread as of March 21st.

I am really saddened by this.  Many of you know that "Classical Allusions" was a thread that I championed on IMDB.  I am glad that Starboardlight archived it.

And Casey, if you have a more current version, please give us a link to it here.
