Questions

[TopChuckie]

What do you want to get out of there? Is there info that you can't find anywhere else? There's also a good chance that any and all posts and threads are property of Fanball, so hijacking/moving them could end up causing problems for the very people who are working so hard to keep the online community that we have going.

Better to move ahead and grow the new place than to look wistfully back at what once was...

rhd's prospect lists?

All your anti-Yankee posts that I'll want to quote and throw in your face when they are proven incorrect.

My long-winded explanation of our Fincher rule that people occasionally want to hear about that I'd rather not try to re-type and that morphed over the course of the thread and only through reading that thread can one fully appreciate how it came to be, what it's purpose was, and why it works.

And there's no way to recreate, retell, or truly capture the classic implosions and do them justice. They are "you had to be there" moments, and by linking to them, someone new can be there, they can relive it pretty much just like it happened.

Etc., etc.

I'm sure we all agreed to something when we registered over there that said anything we contributed belonged to the owners, but I would think they would still have to win the argument that my contributions belong more to them than they do to me, and then they'd have to demonstrate some sort of damages as a result of us using that content.

I'm sure that RHD's prospect lists live on HIS computer, and are HIS property, and as such, he can post them over here whenever he likes.

My Anti Yankee post have always proven to be correct, you certainly don't want those around.

And why do you want to tempt fate by inviting lawyers to get involved...nothing good can come of that. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't have to prove damages, just proving ownership would be plenty for any court.

Honestly, I don't care one way or another if Jason decides to open the old place up for you nostalgia buffs, I'm staying here and trying to grow something new.

I am doing both. I feel it is the best interests of this new site moving forward to have some of the information before it is lost. I also believe it would be best if Fanball allowed us to move over all the information. In the event that it is not possible I agree that we make the best of it and move forward.

My preference would be to open up RJ 1.0 as a read-only forum for now with a big block on the top and/or bottom of every page linking people to RJ 2.0. That way people can grab what they want (I need my avatar!) but still be forced over here to post . . .

[dmahlan]

There is still a way to search content on the old site and retrieve old posts/avatars, etc., just not full threads.

Use Google to search for a couple words you know are in a post, or a user name and key phrase. Assuming the combination of words you search on is fairly rare, Google will pull up the results from RJ. Rather than clicking on the link in the results, though, click the "Cached" link near the bottom of the listing. This will display Google's cached version of the page.

TopChuckie, here's the cache of Pages 1 and 2 of your Finchers thread: Page 1 Page 2

SenorSmoke, is this the avatar you wanted? If not, you can try a search for something you know you recently posted and snag it from there.

I'm not sure how for Google's cache goes back, but you might be able to rescue some recent stuff if you can come up with the correct combination of search words.

Very much appreciated David.

Thank you, sir

[BuckyBuckner]

Thanks David, I didn't realize you could do that with Google. Very cool.

The answer to your question lol

[TopChuckie]

This link might come in handy and is a great example of what I'd hate to lose from the old place.

Yeah, I figured that out once I saw David's post here.
