I have backups of Fogbow Pages

#1

Post by jadedmonk »

For 4 decades I've been building my own huge private internet archive. (Started back in the BBS days). I save every or nearly every webpage I visit, the videos are only saved if I like them though. This means every or nearly every Fogbow page I visited is backed up. Let me know. (They're almost entirely the "Gavin Seim" sub thread though).

If you can snip my avatar I'd appreciate it if you could send it to me in a pvt message.

Me, too, but I think this probably isn't a priority right now. I've tried bringing back mine, but what I used to use is now deemed too large.

Foggy may need to change a setting to allow larger avatars. I'm responsible for breaking the board. I was cleaning out old junk files and decided that I didn't need a copy of that avatar anymore. Into the trash it creeped ~~~~

Yes, my old avatar no longer works tho' it's teeny tiny, as avatars go.....This is a minor issue but I'm obsessing about it.

My old one didn’t work either. I used this app on my phone called “Image Size.” I have an iphone - no idea whether this app works for other phones, but if not, there’s probably one like it.

It lets you set the size of the image - I set mine to 85x85 pixels, it took it to under 5kb.

That would be awesome Jadedmonk. There's been so much amazing research and so many great posts. Hope some will be able to come back. Thank you for saving them! Are they somewhere that can be accessed?

I don't know how that would work. The forum must be created post-by-post, and I don't think I can just insert pages full of posts.

Too bad, too, the most popular topic on Fogbow really ought to be "Call Me Gav". :lol: :oops: :roll: :mrgreen: Umm ... no. :?

Terrabytes Shmerrabytes. We're talking Petabytes. =) And in the early days things didn't take up much space. My videos don't even take up the most space, they're roughly around 8 Terrabytes.

Yeah, you'd have to do an unwieldy "cut and paste" for hundreds of pages. I don't touch Windows or Mac OS's with a 10' pole (nor do any of those close to me), but Linux has all sorts of programs to automate such tasks. I used them all the time on my forums, websites, and game servers before I gave it [the servers websites and such] all up to return to Mexico.

It's a darn shame we lost all them semi-pr0n photos of his wife's butt. :P

No, wait ... that's a feature, not a glitch. I never did find her very attractive.
