Author Topic:   CPUB and a new page

Rigil_Kentaurus posted 05-11-99 03:37 PM ET
Is there any archive of the CPUB-threads like there is with the AFC and the CoFH?
And one more thing (I wrote something similar before, but it has dropped below the 5-day-line):
I'm making a page collecting SMAC fiction and "scientific reports" (fictional of course) on different SMACian topics like mindworms, monoliths or things taken from any of the chronicles. If you have any, please go to:
surf.to/smac
Oh, and there's just one more thing; would any of you people be interested in giving me suggestions/comments on my page? I've put it up at:
http://home.sol.no/~habari/smac/test.htm (copy and paste the address please) for testing, so if any of you are interested please drop by and fill out the form after surveying the page.

I'm currently working on an archive of all the fiction threads, including the CPUB, AFC, and CoFH (see the thread: "fiction home page"?). It will be HTML-based with a great format and great graphics, indexed by chronological orded and by author. Unfortunately, I have no clue how long it will take to do this, as just grabbing the CPUB off the bulletin board took me weeks. I'm currently in the process of converting the text file for the CPUB into HTML files, so I have no guarantees about when it will be up. Again, see the thread.
Nice site, by the way! Great layout.

ec: it's a lot easier than that. I simply did a view source on the pages a long time ago and saved the resulting text file; switch a few things around (like changing the background and killing the post reply buttons on top), and you're good to go.

As I reported in some threads in the non-SMAC forum, the Old Test Forums are still mostly accessible, so you can probably get the original HTML versions of some of the older CPUB stuff, instead of the plain-text reproductions.
A partially "recovered" version of part 1 (Chronicles of Pre-Unity FIXED) can be found at:
http://alpha.owo.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/000410.html
Part 2 can be found at:
http://alpha.owo.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/000603.html
Was this before or after the thread duplication crisis? If it was during, there may be posts in the thread which are not in chronological order (you may need to watch the time stamps).
