A date that will live… in infamy. Or at least in our minds for a few days, maybe a week or two. Wow, that’s an ouchie - lost everything from December 7 to February, what, 11th was the day it went out? Still, a minor price to pay. What did we lose? Anything entirely memorable? It’s been so long since I’ve been here, I’ve forgotten. (I do notice ATGG V is gone, so I’ll have to re-start that.) Esprix ---

Yeah, I know ☹ Now I’ll never find out why Manhattan was so pissed of at Percy Bysshe Shelley. OTOH, doesn’t that mean that most of the Australian Business is gone? ---

So, all we lost was a couple of months worth of stuff? Thank goodness, it could have been much worse. Hey, now I get to use my 500th post for something worthwhile this time. 🙂 ---

I know ONE thing that was lost was Scylla’s Ewes Sluts II thread. I know it’s missing 'cause I had bookmarked it to read later, just tried it, and it can’t be found! ☹ :mad: ---

> [@](#): > > …What did we lose? Anything entirely memorable?.. Oh, let’s see… JUST ALL EVIDENCE OF MY EXISTENCE ON THIS BOARD! I created an account sometime after December 7. I had a few very memorable exchanges that are now lost to the ages. :mad: What a loss to mankind! :eek: ---

One post that is gone, gone, gone is the superlong (like maybe 9 feet if it was on paper) post done by **Osiris** in “Yet another Doper name game” over in MPSIMS. It was a beautiful post, categorizing hundreds of Dopernames into nice little categories. The coding! It was inspiring… ☹
