Forum Archives: Forums 1 - 4


These are the Archives from Forums 1 - 4.
Forum 5 archives are located
here.
Forums 6 & 7 (until February 2002) archives are located
here.
Archives for Forum 7 (from March 2002 to July 2002) are located
here.

From August 2002, Forum 7 moved to Anyboards, which has it's own internal archive system, so site policy is that forum archives, from that date, will no loger be stored on this site. The best threads from Forum 7 and any future forums will continue to be saved in the Best of Forum section on this site.

Please be aware that the topic of these discussions is one that the participants often feel strongly about, and they sometimes express those feelings strongly. Also, disagreements frequently occur. As both sides in these disagreements cannot be right, the views of the contributors to these forums do not necessarily reflect the views of the owner of this website. Therefore, the owner of this website cannot accept responsibility for the content of these archives.

Each of the Forum Archives consists of 5 HTML files (A-E) that you can read now by clicking on the letter. These 5 files are also compressed together into .ZIP files that can be downloaded to your computer and read offline.

Part A of any archive contains what was the top of the original index, along with its corresponding posts. These threads were started at later dates.

Part E of any archive contains what was the bottom of the original index, along with its corresponding posts. These threads were started at earlier dates.

The .ZIP files contain compressed versions of all of the HTML files for a particular archive. To read a zipped archive offline, click on its Download link. After uncompressing (un-zipping) the HTM files, you can then view them offline in your browser by following these instructions:

  • Download the zipped archives by clicking on its "Download" link.
  • Save the file on your hard drive.
  • We recommend that Windows users use WINZIP to unzip (uncompress) the files into a directory or folder. (Mac users don't need a separate program to unzip the archives.)
  • From your browser's menu bar, select the Open or Open File option located under File to select the archive that you want to read.

The Forum II archives contain posts that are grouped by thread, but are not sub-threaded - as the forum server that we were using at the time did not include the sub-thread information along with the archive.

The Forum I archives contain posts that are grouped by thread, but are not sub-threaded - as the forum server that we were using at the time did not include the sub-thread information along with the archive.

Originally consisting of 14 files, they have since been re-bundled into 8 larger archives.
