Disabled's backup has served us long and hard, but thanks to some organization between Listo, Proboards Support, and Frogmaster, it's back up! danballforums.proboards.com/index.cgi?A few changes have been made. Firstly, posting is disabled across the board, as is account making. The title has been changed to "Dan-Ball Forum Backup". Also, all boards (except the Internals boards, which have the same password as the modern special board, and the passworded member boards) are now open to the public.

What's the difference between that and the old backup?

What's the difference between that and the old backup? You can view threads in a nicer way in this new backup. You can also read staff threads.

Also, this one is complete. The old backup excluded a few parts of the forum. Also, the post counts are more accurate, people's old sigs and avvys and personal text and titles are backed up, same with their DBs and posts, etc, etc. Whereas Disabled's backup was a barebones thing (really just the posts and topics in most boards), this is the original, and as such contains everything.
Not to mention, there was some stuff of value in the member boards.

Some things of interest would be the Staff Lounge, the High Staff Lounge, and the Warning Archives. You can see how different staff thought about different issues at different times. I hope that we did well in determining what and what not to do while under TheListo, and that we are doing well now.
As a matter of fact, the contrast between the Staff Lounge of then and now is quite amusing...

Ah, I can see all of the old posts I made back then! This is very nice...

It's also interesting to note how each person changed between his/her first post and now...

Alas, my favorite thread is still the one when I was a young member, discussing Irritation Stickman and its difficulty, and several people recommended that I be staffed.

And look at you now. Oh, the things I could've been a part of if I could have just gone through with that one, little lie. I don't like lying.

Man, I was so different back then.

Indeed you were. You name was still Nmagain.
I should go looking through my old PMs sometimes. The ones from the pre-Greenpotato incident are missing, including the then-infamous conversation with Listo that gave rise to "I make my omelets with eight eggs", but at least I can look at conversation during and after the other incidents.

Should I ask what the pre-Greenpotato incident is?

Greenpotato is who really did what we previously blamed Molopoy for. Staff accounts were all deleted but Listo's, including mine, which was the one he was working on, which was rather stupid of him.

Isn't it pretty obvious? I made this thread Feb. 22, explicitly stated the old forums are a backup, and we're using this one right now.

Post by Rock on Mar 15, 2011 0:48:01 GMT
Molopoy has been a member here on the forums for quite some time now, RM, under the name Barek. I'm still a little fuzzy on the details, but i think he was innocent of something...

[bump] I can't see my first post because it takes like 2,000 years for the search page to load when I try.

What first post? And what was the point of that one?

Awesome.

Wait-there was an old forum?

You really must touch up on forum history. Ask Rock about it.

Okay, I'll send him a PM.

I figured he was your brother, but a PM works too.

Post by Rock on Apr 22, 2011 3:52:57 GMT
Huh, I guess he is my brother. (jk) I didn't see it was him, tiny iPod screen n'all.

Back in those forums, I registered... In January, I learned... I didn't post that much and I left in February. I came back and here we are. If my history is ever made public, I will be known for nothing. Joining, forgetting, coming back, leaving, coming back, being bored, coming back, etc... I need to use the Long Term Absence Thread more... By the way, I should have 32 Dan Balls from the old forums, not that it matters.
