When i saw the post about it being taken down i immediatly downloaded the entire forum archive. After a few hours of writing a conversion script i rebuilt a forum with the archive i took. There was alot of good info on that forum and it can now be searched again. The one thing that sucks is that any pictures that were hosted or attached by them are gone. If you are like me and always link to your external picture source they should all be there. I didnt really know what to call the forum so i just registered the name RiverRacer.net. If you guys have any better ideas let me know. I will be maintaining and keeping the forum online so that all that good info is availible to everybody here and anywhere else.
I plan on adding a few other things to the site, including a live chat room for guys to come talk in. It will be web based but you will also be able to access it using a normal IRC client (for those who know what that is...). I recommend registering on the forum, that way you can search quickly, guests searches have limits bound to them.
Hope i'm not stepping on any toes over at PB, just trying to let everybody know that the old archive is online and public.
Thanks, let me know if you guys find/see any problems. It's a different forum than what was being run, it just has the VB skin on it. I may switch it over the VB down the road, right now vb wants $100/year for there software.
That is flippin amazing Shaun. Like the others, I don't know you did that but a big thank you for pulling it off. There was some great stuff there and I feared it was gone for good.
Nice work.....john
awesome job.....just hope no legal issues come out of that. If I was hotboat, I wouldnt be happy about that....but i say screw them and I'm happy someone did it.
If you havent heard... hotboat is in some legal shit slinging...hope none gets on you.
Thanks Shaun...I was just saying to myself, "self I wish I could find that info that was posted on hotboat a couple years ago." I found it thanks again.
Just wish i would have gotten time to archive the pictures too from the gallery. When i saw the post about the forums disappearing i though only the forums were going, not the whole damn site... I would have grabbed that stuff too.
.... i immediatly downloaded the entire forum archive. After a few hours of writing a conversion script i rebuilt a forum with the archive i took. There
The info is located at http://www.RiverRacer.Net/forums/
Nice job Shaun. The only thread there worth a damn was the moneysucker petrofied quack attack thread anyways. all the rest can go in cyber trash. lol. I had to be really bored to go on those forums and see if there was anything going on and after quite a few times of nothing , I stopped going. Again thank you Shaun. The HB forums did help to promote this sport and you have helped to keep those records. like the bible.
haha, one day maybe i'll have to read through that thread... i saw it all the time, never really read it bewcause it was huge! There is some good info barried into those forums. Maybe i'll start/sticky a thread about good threads and as we find the good ones we can post the link to them in that thread.
Either way all that info is searchable not only in the threads but as soon as google gets there paws into it, from there too!
If you have never met Shaun, let me tell you, hell of nice guy and stuff like this seems to fly out of his finger tips. Nice job shaun!
