Title: WTF?!
Post by: Alex Libman on September 03, 2010, 09:29:16 PM
I came across an article about Duke Nukem Forever (http://www.osnews.com/story/23763/Duke_Nukem_Forever_Returns_Will_Really_Be_Released_in_2011), and I remembered that there was at least one thread about it on this forum for me to necro.  So I searched for it through Google (http://www.google.com/search?q=duke+nukem+site:bbs.freetalklive.com), found one matching thread (http://bbs.freetalklive.com/index.php?topic=18701), and...

Quote
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

WTF?!?!

How could it be indexed by Googlebot but be "off limits" now?!  Is shit being deleted as we speak?!!?!

I'm too pissed off to think straight!  I'm going to start working on a plan to have Barack Obama put all libertarians and their families in death camps.  I just hope I won't have to use it, but if you hurt this forum I definitely will!

You do understand that the database of this forum is worth at least a couple million dollars, right?  And that's just a free market price, in reality it's priceless.  It contains thousands of hours of blood, sweat, and tears from myself and hundreds of other people!  It is a piece of history!  I would burn every baby photo and every other kind of photo of me ever taken, I would wipe my ass on the Mona Lisa, but this forum is fucking priceless, every bit of it!!!  The closest thing you can compare it to is the Federalist Papers, and all other correspondence of all other American Founding Fathers, all rolled into one!!!

He better have backup, and he better put up static HTML pages of it somewhere, or at least give it to me so I could do it...  I can also provide a PHP tweak to have links to deleted threads (to which I've been linking from dozens of other forums pretty much every day for years!) automatically redirect to static archives...

Ian is talking about selling the back up to you for $1 million, which would be an insanely excellent half-price discount.  You could then remount it for just $10 a month or something.  Maybe you can raise the money for it when you convince someone to pay you that much for your balls or a limb or something like that.  You seem to have an inflated notion of the market value of those things as well.

This is what you get for investing too much time and resources in one spot. All your eggs in one basket. I've gotten too involved in a forum before, and it stings when something happens to the place. You just have to keep going, man.

Keep going?!  Did you ever spend a whole evening writing something and then have a computer glitch and lose it?  What just happened to me is that times 1000!  Some of the most valuable thoughts ever achieved by the human race were documented on this forum!  Some of my best arguments on other forums were hyper-linked to this one for examples and clarifications...  It was a living thing, and one of the greatest living things in the known universe, and they just fucking killed it for no reason!  How can you have anything but murderous rage for such people ever again?!

We feel your pain, but there's nothing to be done about it. You should try to detach yourself a little from the site. Is this worth the stress its giving you?

To quote some zen/type source: Can you do something to change the problem? If yes, do it. If not, then there you are.

Can anyone find, for example, that DNF thread I've mentioned (http://bbs.freetalklive.com/index.php?topic=18701) through Archive.org?  Google and other search engines seem to have only a fraction of the site, and their cache will eventually get purged.  If no one has backup, then we're fucked.

I refuse to live in a universe where such stupidity is possible, in the #1 forum of the one movement that was supposed to be rational and good, which I've sacrificed everything for.  Death is the only thing left.

Uh oh.  Now you can undercut Ian.  Maybe sell it to Libman for just $800k or so.  There might even be a crash in the FTL BBS market just like the housing market.

I'll go ahead and bid $1 for Libman's other testicle.  I don't actually want it, but I figure I'll be nice and try to stimulate the bidding.  Don't send it to me.  Just dispose of it properly so it's not re-attachable.

Zhe was here a few weeks ago and gone as soon as it was pointed out that zhe deleted one of my posts because it showed how inconsistent with liberty zhe was, rather than what zhe claimed--that I was trolling hir (zhe chose exactly one post to delete, out of the several in the thread--the one where I spent about 45 minutes telling hir exactly what was nutty about her philosophy and inconsistent about hir position--after zhe'd originally blown off my response and then challenged me to explain in detail.)

I do that too, sometimes.  Its a respect thing. 

I'm not entirely sure how to take brede.  But I don't disrespect "him", because I have no reason to.

Lately, I've been trying to avoid all things gender and respond with first person.  You.

I don't waste an inordinate amount of time on it, and Brede hasn't been here much anyway.  So its a non-issue.

They're not in the English language. Partly because of a Three Stooges Syndrome (http://www.tv.com/the-simpsons/the-mansion-family/episode/1523/summary.html) between gender-neutral pronouns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_neutral_pronoun#Invented_pronouns) ('e; zhe; ey; hu; ne; hy; ot; thon; ve; xe; ze; en; co; phe; ad infinitum).

It's the way zhe would typically want to be addressed, and if I'm going to disrespect hir position, as I do, I'm going to compensate by asserting with certainty that it's not personal--it's objective.



For what it's worth, when not addressing so-called intersex people, I revert back to the default, correct english standard of defaulting to the male gender pronouns.

I just call Brede/Attis...

Brede/Attis/Whatever username they are using. We talk regularly on Steam chat and in one on one it's just "You", "Hey sup" or whatever.

I try to avoid saying things like "Dude" or "Listen man" etc.

But I refuse to make up genderless people things or use them.

OK, I'm no longer suicidal.  (See my brutally honest hissy fit thread at FK.) (http://forum.freekeene.com/index.php?topic=3921)  Turns out Ian is not a book-burning idiot, he's just greedy and wants to extort money from me.  I can respect that, and I do admit that it was fucking stupid of me not to have made an external backup (though I had my excuses at the time).  Yaay FTL!

Oops, sorry, I forgot not everyone feels as positively about words like "greed" and "extortion" as I do.  That was some Ferengi humor right there.  What I said was that I'm very glad that Ian had made a backup, and if he wants to charge money for it then he's totally entitled to do so.
Title: Re: WTF?!
Post by: Harry Tuttle on September 06, 2010, 01:37:03 AM
Now we can debate the following hypothetical scenario:

If someone who is friendly and polite (and maybe an amplifier) were to ask Ian kindly if he could get a copy of the backup, would Ian do it willingly? Maybe if such a person were planning to launch and host a freetalklivearchive.com site at his own expense Ian would think it was a cool idea.

In the alternate reality which I spend a part of my time, folks sometimes politely communicate and ask for things from others. This may sound odd in this world, but you have to believe me on this. I have experienced situations in which I, myself, have asked what we call a "favor" and have had it performed for me. I'll illustrate in the dramatization that follows.

     Jim: I just finished this great article in Sane Person Monthly about manners.
     Sue: I just love good manners. Do you mind if I borrow that magazine so that I might read it.
     Jim: Why certainly, Sue. Perhaps afterwards we can discuss it over tea.

I know that you all think I am mad for suggesting such a bizarre reality. In truth, sometimes I think I am just dreaming it all up. But admit it, there could possibly be a version of the universe in which people are civil and do not burst into narcissistic emotional tirades at every sign of misfortune.

Do you see the difference between replying to a response and not replying to a comment someone made in the open?  Perhaps if I had focused more narrowly on it as I've focused on a reply to what I wrote, I may have.
