Original BYWL posts recovered
The boards went down and stayed down. What follows came back off the Wayback Machine and out of old backups, word for word, dead video links and all. Nothing has been cleaned up, corrected or rewritten.
Two boards
They ran weeks apart on different hosts and they are separate places. Pick one.
What else came back
The lists people kept so they could trade with each other.
- Tape library791 events with fed, show, date and generation, exactly the way people listed what they had to trade
- DVD database1,096 events with venue and date, the list as it stood once the scene moved off tape
- Member roster, thebywlink.com141 names with join dates and post counts
- Member roster, Blue Thunder48 names with join dates and post counts
- Lost thread titles150 titles that survived in the board listings while the threads themselves never got captured
Read only, on purpose
None of it is live and none of it ever will be. The pages kept the original board skin because the point is what the place looked like, not what it would look like now. Dead video links are left where they were.
It is not all here
Seven threads stop at the fortieth post because that is where the snapshot stopped, and 150 thread titles came back with nothing attached. If you saved anything off these boards, screenshots and all, it can go back in.
