(10:34:38 PM) Sosie: I get way more concerned about schmucks hosting forums. Those have always gone down for me. granted, they generally aren't Rich-skilled
(10:34:39 PM) Sosie: but
(10:34:46 PM) HanJi: Well, we could always just divide up the task into sections, and between us, copy down the entire forum over a few hours. make a party of it
(10:34:59 PM) Sosie: post by post?
(10:35:09 PM) HanJi: more like page by page
(10:35:13 PM) Carcer: Sosie I have hosted a single contiguous mediawiki installation for eight years
(10:35:15 PM) Renovate: page by page?
(10:35:19 PM) Renovate: oh dear god
(10:35:36 PM) Positron: I know
(10:35:36 PM) Fenris_: might take more than a few hours
(10:35:43 PM) Enrique_: uqick! start making paper records of it all!
(10:35:46 PM) Positron: I can print the whole thing out hard copy
(10:35:51 PM) Carcer: involving more than a couple of moving hosts
(10:36:06 PM) Sosie: Okay
(10:36:07 PM) Renovate: And make your house sink into the ground? probably not a great idea, ed!
(10:36:08 PM) Sosie: but actually
(10:36:12 PM) Sosie: I would love a hard copy
(10:36:27 PM) Carcer: hm
(10:36:29 PM) Coraline: that
(10:36:35 PM) Sosie: But also, rich, you make a good point
(10:36:36 PM) Coraline: would require an impressive index system
(10:36:40 PM) Sosie: and not a small wiki
(10:36:46 PM) HanJi: Look, if theres 10 of us, copying down 10 posts a minute, thats a hundred posts a posts a minute copied, 6000 posts an hour
(10:36:49 PM) Coraline: Maybe a page reference added onto the thread summaries
(10:36:56 PM) Sosie: 10 post a minute...
(10:37:06 PM) HanJi: That gives us a rough time of 4 hours give or take to copy down the forum
(10:37:25 PM) Coraline: theres not 10 of us
(10:37:27 PM) Coraline: I don't think
(10:37:29 PM) Coraline: currently
(10:37:32 PM) Fenris_: more like 1 post a minute
(10:37:33 PM) HanJi: And thats at a slow rate of 10 posts per munute
(10:37:37 PM) Renovate: Hmm, and if we used a 'print to PDF' function, then it could go even faster.
(10:37:39 PM) Fenris_: at least for me
(10:37:48 PM) Coraline: oh there is
(10:37:56 PM) Renovate: rather than using copy & paste
(10:38:02 PM) HanJi: ...How can it possibly take a minute to copy and paste 1 post?
(10:38:03 PM) Fenris_: add to that all the time spent not actively copying
(10:38:31 PM) Enrique_: you forget the reading and reminiscing bit HanJi
(10:38:34 PM) HanJi: just open up the page, hit control a, change to word, hit control p
(10:38:37 PM) Sosie: Yeah, and reading posts, and making sure it's formatted right..
(10:38:55 PM) Fenris_: sorry, i momentarily forgot about copying and pasting
(10:39:04 PM) Renovate: print to PDF would copy an entire page at once, but you would end up with an absolute shit tonne of individual PDF documents, which would then need to be edited together somehow...
(10:39:06 PM) Fenris_: I was thinking of typing
(10:39:07 PM) HanJi: We want a back up, not a fully readable at any given moment copy
(10:39:45 PM) Carcer: no guys
(10:39:52 PM) Carcer: don't try to do this manually
(10:39:55 PM) Carcer: there are always ways to automate
(10:40:16 PM) Renovate: Alright, times up, lets do this. LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRROOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYY......
(10:40:21 PM) HanJi: But copy/paste party....
(10:40:29 PM) Sosie: Yeah
(10:40:32 PM) Sosie: Automate all the way
(10:41:29 PM) Renovate: Could always go through and write it all out by hand?
(10:41:34 PM) Darya: Ok. It took about 4 minutes for me to do a page of posts
(10:41:45 PM) Carcer: atm I am testing a HTTP crawler
(10:41:51 PM) Darya: So about...3.75 posts per minutes.
(10:42:35 PM) Fenris_: we could have some of us dictating it to those who are writing it out
(10:42:52 PM) HanJi: I did it in 2 and thats only cause i had to open word
(10:43:29 PM) Darya: I was copy pasting each post individually?
(10:43:45 PM) HanJi: Oh, i just hit control a
(10:44:27 PM) Darya: It would take about 90 man hours at my rate of copy pasting.
(10:44:28 PM) HanJi: and that was 15 posts
(10:44:51 PM) Renovate: print to pdf took less than a minute for a whole page, but the layout went a bit iffy
(10:44:55 PM) Carcer: you can set pages to include more posts in your preferences
(10:44:59 PM) Carcer: okay seriously guys
(10:45:25 PM) ***Sosie is laughing at Rich's pain
(10:45:30 PM) Sosie: Okay wait
(10:45:31 PM) Renovate: (i think we're hurting Rich)
(10:45:34 PM) Sosie: I'm going to get out some clay tablets
(10:45:36 PM) Coraline: wait
(10:45:48 PM) Coraline: wait
(10:45:49 PM) Coraline: wait
(10:45:56 PM) Coraline: you don't want some papyrus
(10:46:06 PM) Fenris_: ok
(10:46:15 PM) Renovate: I'm sure I can find some charcoal somewhere...
(10:46:21 PM) Positron: carven stone
(10:46:21 PM) Coraline: burn trees
(10:46:23 PM) Coraline: easy
(10:46:30 PM) HanJi: also, if you whack it into notepad, you don't have to worry about formatting
(10:46:30 PM) HanJi: you can do it in about 30 man hours, i'd say
(10:46:30 PM) HanJi: See, it's funny cause I've literally spent 5 times that, probably, manually opening database records individually to manually prove that a system wasn't recieving specific messages
(10:46:31 PM) Positron: less chance of long term data loss
(10:46:36 PM) Fenris_: surely cave paintings are the way to go
(10:46:48 PM) HanJi: not cause we couldn't search, but because the client didn't trust the search
(10:46:49 PM) Darya: Cave paintings keep getting vandalised.
(10:47:15 PM) Fenris_: well we'd have to construct secret caves first
(10:47:21 PM) Coraline: your clients sound like nightmares
(10:47:25 PM) Renovate: and they wear away over time, fade, that sort of thing
(10:47:36 PM) Coraline: All things
(10:47:41 PM) Coraline: Beautiful decline
(10:48:04 PM) Fenris_: cave paintings can last for ages
(10:48:16 PM) HanJi: parcelforce can suck the fattest of dicks
(10:48:23 PM) Renovate: i notice rich has gone strangely silent for a while... mwa ha ha
(10:48:34 PM) Renovate: aaaaaand random han is random, once again
(10:48:42 PM) HanJi: They were the clients
(10:49:10 PM) HanJi: Has anyone considered the potential benefits of memorising the entire forum and passing it down as oral tradition?
(10:49:57 PM) Coraline: ahhahah
(10:49:58 PM) Coraline: hhahahah
(10:49:59 PM) Renovate: Aha! Ich verstehe!
(10:49:59 PM) Coraline: HAHAHHAHAH
(10:50:01 PM) Coraline: hahahaha
(10:50:01 PM) HanJi: Aw man, if we did this copy/paste party we could ensure no thread gets duplicated
(10:50:06 PM) ***Coraline croaks laughter
(10:50:08 PM) Silvia_: I think Trina's already made a start on the memorising
(10:50:09 PM) ***Coraline expires

(9:39:58 PM) Subira: It's sorta weird to realise that other people are reading the thread I'm writing in
(9:39:59 PM) Subira: like
(9:40:13 PM) Subira: I'm communicating with one other person
(9:40:21 PM) Subira: so I forget there is an audience...
(9:40:28 PM) Coraline: The cult news has been edited with a new update once again
(9:40:43 PM) Silvia_: I know the feeling
(9:40:56 PM) Silvia_: I kept forgetting people were reading the Hugo/Silvia threads
(9:40:57 PM) Coraline: Thats what private subforums are for!
(9:41:05 PM) Silvia_: And fandoming at them
(9:41:19 PM) Coraline: You can get them by request with another character, sometimes several!
(9:41:21 PM) Glowbug: That's just because hugo/Silvia was at one very intimate and too stupid too fully comprehend
(9:41:31 PM) Midboss: most of the fandoming was coming from someone writing them though
(9:41:35 PM) Glowbug: LOOK
(9:41:38 PM) Glowbug: SHUT UP
(9:41:43 PM) Midboss: none of us can reach trina's level
(9:41:46 PM) Midboss: she's too powerful
(9:41:49 PM) Glowbug: I can't even get on my level
(9:41:49 PM) Silvia_: This is true

(10:23:23 PM) Darya: Is this why houses around yours burn down every bonfire night?
(10:23:36 PM) Midboss: look
