Once they close this whatever is here is trapped like an insect in amber.

download your PMs - once it closes you probably won't be able to get into your cp anymore so any mail messages will be lost (that's what happened with xsl).

remove any posts that you know will come back to haunt you.. If this is going to be indexed by google then any references you have made to your rl or foot in mouth comments will be there for posterity (and creepy stalker people).

*hugs* everyone.

My foot-in-mouth posts frozen in amber for all eternity?

:eek:

/me blanches at the thought of manually removing over 4,000 posts . . .

I'd like to see anyone *try* and make me regret a single word I've written.

Apart from one or two tyqos, of course.

But that would mean the undying thread would drop well below 100,000 again!

Nothing has been said here that I need to remove, otherwise I wouldn't have said it.

Oh, I've said lots of stupid things. I won't be removing them. I have very high confidence LL will do that for us, in an unfortunate data mishap. They already told us that this software is unmaintainable, so it will be a short trip from "archive" to "bit bucket."

the advice to back up anything of personal relevance is sound... especially in light of past actions.

Archive to LL is what Retirement was to all those Soviet Army Officers during WWII....2 in the head.

All of the suggestions are sound. Some people here have been more forthcoming with their personal details than they possibly should have and now it's going out onto the web.

I don't personally care about foot in mouth but some of you may.

by the look of it you can't get to more than the last 200 posts anyway so both bits of advice are probably moot.

Actually, I just remembered that I wound up Dana Hickman very badly once. And Brianna Dawson on another occasion.

Oh and Argent once ...

And Jesse ...

And Mari ...

And Chris ...

And ...

Oh Jesus (yes, I'm sure I wound him up too!), I think the list might be long as my arm. I generally got chewed out for my impudence anyway.

So that's all right.

I hope.

Delete anything, like hell, I might add a few questionable post just for grins! :D

I can't remember the name of the song at the moment but there are a couple of lines from a James McMurtry song I always liked.

"Whiskey don't make liars, it just makes fools,
I didn't mean to say it but I meant what I said"

The forum only returns 200 posts. I don't believe there's any way to see all of your posts if you have thousands of them.

It would be possible to write a program to access each post by post number, check to see if it is one of yours and save each one that is yours. It would take a while to run. Might not be enough time left. Then you check your posts for material you don't want visible on the web.

you can only get 200 at a time, but playing with the date functions will return different chunks of them, as will searching specific forums, and specific keywords... creatively someone like me can get about 1-2k of their post back... perhaps more
