Dude, do you have ANY idea how many Google accounts I have? They want a phone number to text on creation but otherwise they don't give a damn.

You me to email it to you so you can host a link then?

I sent a copy to everyone who replied to this post with an email address

hey Baffle. Not sure if i'm doing something wrong but won't let me download for some reason. When I click on download it comes up with a page that has a single line of text FNF: then the address for the file. Any chance you could try sending me another link or give some advice. PM if easier

Yeah that's probably a good plan. Executionus@gmail.com

Hi sorry to bother you but the email hasn’t come through in either my main inbox or my junk inbox. Would there be any possibility that you could send it to my gmail account instead please which is kevinwbarnes1@gmail.com Thank you.

I haven't seen anything in my email. Not even in my spam folder.

I will look daily but it might need to be resent. Or you might have gotten a rejection from Yahoo email because of size.

Well fucking poop. Sorry I've never used this mail service before. I sent it to Executionus so hopefully he gets it and hosts a link. I'll check back tomorrow and figure something out

I got them both with no issue. I will say that the "Your Webapps Board" pdf is formatted like absolute ass, but it does seem to contain basically everything from that board. I was able to locate one of my lost stories by using Ctrl-F to search for it. The Dreambook Board pdf is missing everything in-between 2009 and 2012 because of the way Dan was so incredibly slow at updating the old archives. The archives were legitimately over 3 years behind when the site died.

Dreambook Board
Your Webapps Board

I should probably add these to my signature, assuming they work without issue. I would recommend downloading them to view since trying to look at a pdf through a web browser is just pure masochism.

Thanks for those two links. I have the files. I will try tearing them apart with the linux tools I have available and compare components to the database I have.

Thanks again.

Thanks, glad that worked. I wish I was a coder. I found a basic linux tool for converting html to pdf with the caveat that it only works for "basic webpages" but the html was all text anyway. And yet somehow the some of the text still got ate up and replaced with weird characters. The thread index included did have functioning hyperlinks but since not all the stories where linked, it reformatted hundreds of pages of the file to be listed as one story and added it as a header and footer which fucked up ctrl+f so I left it out. I think its still linked in the original archive post? If not i can zip that up and send it to anyone smarter than me knows how to convert 7510 html files into a big pdf without opening them in a browser and exporting to pdf and combining

Fucking pour one out. I never messed with the forums to know but I assumed that was the case. There was a good story on the front page about a girl getting a physical that I never found the part 2 of. Anyway, its a lot of good shit so I hope it gets passed around. Sucks when sites go down. I wish i tried backing up the experience project site cause they had some good shit too. I should probably post what I got here
