Arguably anyways.

Earlier Today I received a Facebook message from the current keeper of the Evamade keys. She has not done anything with the site in ages, and frankly I'll probably be lucky if she bothers to hand over control of the Facebook Group, but as of now, I have full authority on all things from Evamade. Which means some deep diving into the WAyback may be on the menu folks.

Frankly I think it's going to be a shit ton of deep diving to try and retrieve a ton of lost stuff cause I'll be lucky if she even bothers to set me as Admin to the group on Facebook.

No, she just isn't what one would consider a rapid responder... if at all.

Nobody previously in charge of the site bothered to archive anything?

I THINK she has a backup sitting somehwere in her data files... but if she'll even bother to hand them over I don't know. Like I said, I'll be happy if she'll at least make me admin over the Facebook group.

Looks like Evamade is going to be hit by the Magma Diver.

I can see apathy/ennui having just this effect.

Great news! Do you plan to try and restore the site to something like a last working version, or put all the fics on fanbards, or something else?

Assuming that I get the old databases from the previous owner I'll probably integrate it into the current Fanbards structure. From a maintenence stand point that is probably my best option, try and keep things simple.

I DEFINATLY want to try and save the old forum discussions if I can get a hold of that database.

But as I said, I'll probably be lucky if I get her to just set me as the admin of the Facebook Group.

I lost track of the other thread about fanbards, so here goes: have you been working on the presentation layer for fics recently? Previously, em-dashes often got mangled and newlines or page breaks seemed to get eaten, but recently I re-read part of Genocide and, lo and behold, the dashes were back (it looked like spaces before and after them got stripped out, but at least they were there) and the paragraphs looked normal in both browsers I checked with.

I've mostly been trying to get the old archive cleaned up. Some tags were added to the allowed list of the filtered html text format, and CKEditor has made some changes in it's settings. Let me know where you see problems though, here or contact on fanbards.
