Blags and Randomnets — Where Did Our Content Go?

Submitted by zourtney on Thu, 2009/08/27 - 06:40

Randomland is notorious* for periodically losing all of its prized** content. However, almost all of it is still around, copied across multiple hard drives, hither and thither. I would like to get the majority of the classics (eg Tempo Tale, Francine, How to Rice Your Ride) back up and in a respectable format. What I need from you, oh internets, is what you would like to see brought back.***

 

* inaccurate, as notoriety presupposes one's existence is common knowledge
** prized to the content creator only, likely
*** again, I am pretending someone will actually read this post. This is, at best, wishful thinking

You may notice the tempo tale and francine pages are up, though they are perhaps not as pretty as they could be.

Indeed. Those pages have lost

Indeed. Those pages have lost all of their formatting and the image links are dead because our gallery db is forever lost. I've been wondering if I should store them locally in some static Wysiwig format (Word doc, etc) Then, when this happens again, I can just copy over the contents of that file and format as needed. Unfortunately, I don't actually remember which pictures are supposed to be in those stories...I probably have an old php/HTML copy around, though.
