--->>Link: Archived Save threads from IMDB<<---
« on: May 29, 2006, 12:30:25 am »
An archive of the threads saved from imbd was built up. I had quite a time looking for the link, so I just thought I'd post here for easy access.

http://www.geocities.com/bbmarchive/

*mods, if there is already a thread of this, feel free to delete this one.

Edited to include 'IMDB' in the topic title for easier searching.--Lynne

*edit to add: Please keep this link confidential within the BetterMost forums and do not mention it on IMDb. We think IMDb would not be too happy if they found out that we took their pages and wholly copied them, ads and all, to our own private archive for safe keeping. It was, of course, our only option, but we don't want to attract attention to ourselves from the wrong people--admins, trolls, or whomever might be against what we did.

This is a fine place for the link to those saved threads for now; I am making it sticky for easier access.  I truly appreciate all the hard work of so many in salvaging them.  Thanks to all who were involved in this labour of love.

How long are the archives going to be under construction?  Just curious.  Will it continuously be under construction as new threads over on Imdb are deemed interesting enough to save?

It's such a cool idea.  It makes me all warm and happy to see that good old "bookends" thread saved... under my old alias... but still it makes me proud.

Amanda,
I don't know the answer about any new archiving...maybe Andrew or Jenny know of a plan?  I really haven't been to IMDB since CT came here.  Not enough time & I kinda lost interest with so much happening in the comfy campfire of BetterMost.

Thanks Lynne,

Well, I'm curious because whenever I go to the Archive website it says "under construction".

I love the notice about trespassers when you first enter the site.  Very excellent.

I understand the mods have been discussing it amongst themselves.
