It's not really a joke as such, though people did play with the word effervesce. The word I should have chosen is evanesce - I hated to see the good writing vanish into thin air. I chose the word "effervesce", which to me means for bubbles to move from liquid to the air above - a more poetic idea.
Ve vas just trying to cheer you up a bit, osso!
You did, bunny, you did.
I think amongst us all we've saved a a nice variety of threads.
Mebbe folk might like to say which ones they have saved their very own selves???? We might be able to do a sort of share and swap????
Well, I think I saved pretty much all of the tavern threads, at least all I could find... plus the Abuzzers do Vogue ones, as well as my own personal Rank-A-Butt thread :-)
Altough not a very good picture, I would save an image of old Abuzz.
I saved all the weekly world news threads.
The limericks of protest threads. (I imagine SealPoet might like copies of these since they were his.)
My "Take my husband.... please" (Pantry building) thread.
The baby boomer rewrite threads.
And the "Ask Hugh" threads.
I will do a list in this one post in a bit - and keep updating it....
MASTER ABUZZ ARK LIST:
The weekly world news threads.
The limericks of protest threads.
The "Take my husband.... please" (Pantry building) thread.
The baby boomer rewrite threads.
And the "Ask Hugh" threads
Those damned Digressions
Pretty much all of the Tavern Threads, (at least all Neo could find)
Abuzzers do Vogue ones
Rank-A-Butt thread
Blatham: "I saved about ten threads, and a friend save quite a few more."
(Could you give us details, blatham, if you and your friends might be willing to share??? Remember, the very lovely Craven offered to store some.)
Osso: "Well, I nabbed a few. Gives me a sense of feet."
(Ditto, Osso????)

That gives the word "screenshot" a whole new meaning :-)
Okay, uhm... this will be a long post, if that is too long, please complain and I will try to put the list somewhere else and replace this post with a link there...
This is a list of the filenames of the files I saved - they basically represent the titles of the interactions, but certain characters (such as | . , / \ ? ) got filtered out ( . are replaced by _ ), so they don't always match exactly.

I just realize the majority of y'all may not be aware of the "Wayback" machine (it's one of the sites the A2K toolbar links to).
Here's an archive of Abuzz pages over the years.
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.abuzz.com
Oh, and this is funny... the NYTimes only took the dynamic part of Abuzz offline... the static part is still there :-)
So you can read the FAQ:
http://info.abuzz.com/static/html/faq/index.html
or take the tour:

Well, Craven, looks like they didn't crawl too deep for links - I can't get interactions to load...
I might go to hell for saying this but...
They didn't take down the whole dynamic part either.
There is still a way in (kinda, you can get glimpses of your profiles etc before it throws back errors).
hihp wrote:Well, Craven, looks like they didn't crawl too deep for links - I can't get interactions to load...
Abuzz used a metatag and robots.txt spider exclusion, preventing the Archive spider from crawling the threads.
Craven--
In other words, the patient is dead, but we still have the diaries.
Not with a bang....or a whimper....but available with the proper invocations. How fitting.
Sure! I first saw the Wayback Machine on alexa.com.
It's like watching a film of a deceased relative. Eerie.
