Archives: Heads Up!

[Willets Point]

The weekly archiving of the forum will commence around 4 pm this afternoon. If there are are threads that have been inactive for 30+ days that you would like to make sure aren't archived be sure to make a post in that thread and/or send me a pm. After the fact complaints such as "I can't find the All-Purpose Navel Gazing thread!!! Why was it archived?!?!" will be laughed at derisively, then ignored.

So we will have a squid sighting today?

[Guest sharpie]

Please keep around all threads that I have participated in or read regularly. The others may go. Thank you.

[Willets Point]

I'll use my psychic abilities to their utmost.

WP: >>>will be laughed at derisively, then ignored<<<

In lieu of the tarring and feathering suggested by KC at the last admin meeting.

(thanks for keeping up with this Willet)

[Willets Point]

Commence archiving!

[Willets Point]

The Squid will be swimming in around 4 this afternoon to do the weekly archive. Threads that haven't been active since March 27th will be archived offsite unless a) the Squid likes them, you bump the thread, or c) you send me a pm telling me you'd like a particular thread saved in Featured Archives or NBF classics.

Thanks!

Why was the film review forum dropped? There seemed to be a justifiable number of postings going on there. Where will the Spiderman 3 polls go?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Yeah, I thought film reviews almost worked.

[Willets Point]

It's still there.

[Guest sharpie]

It's under the archives section, sure to get fewer views. Move it back up!

[Willets Point]

The Squid spaced and forgot to archive yesterday. Will try to archive later today. As usual bump or notify me about threads you want to save on the board. The cut off date is April 3.

[Elster88]

Please don't archive the pretty thread in the BttA forum. I'll find another pretty picture to post there soon.

[Willets Point]

It better be real purty!

[Willets Point]

The Squid swims in this afternoon and any threads that have had no posts since April 10 are in danger of meeting the wrath of his tentacles.

[Willets Point]

Argh! The Squid be here!

[metirish]

Dude,where's my Björk Guðmundsdóttir thread,no one posted in it for weeks then BAM...then you did what to it again?

I found it.

[Willets Point]

The thread is in the NBF for greater visibility. People here have scrolling issues you know.

[Willets Point]

The Squid makes his weekly visit this afternoon. Bump or pm me about any threads that haven't been posted in since April 17 that you want to make sure don't get sent offsite.

[Willets Point]

The Squid returns today around 4 pm.

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

[Guest cooby]

Squiddy, you're scaring me

[Willets Point]

He's gone now you're safe.

I didn't get any of the usual "Where did the _____ thread go?" bitchfests this time, so I suppose the intimidation worked.

[Guest cooby]

Next Wednesday afternoon, I'm hiding!

[metirish]

Just a dumb queation,this site has the potential to go on for many years,is there a squid in training to archive the future...what will this place look like in 40 years,Willets I have my doubts that you'll be up to the task of archiving at that time.

[Guest cooby]

But he's got a bun in the oven

[nymr83]

some Squids are believed to have lifespans of 50-80 years, so GSLC should be with us for awhile.... unless one of us gets really mad at him and goes after him with a harpoon

I'm dying here. I'm seeing the Sunday night movie.

"Son/Daughter, it is your destiny to follow in my foot steps to pretend to be a squid and archive the Crane Pool Forum."

"But Dad, I have ambitions of my own."

"You will archive the Crane Pool and you will like it!"

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Nymr - "...unless one of us gets really mad at him and goes after him with a harpoon."

I was thinking more along the lines of a sushi knife.

[Willets Point]

I'm going to let the Squid loose in the forum later this afternoon. Any thread inactive before May 1 is subject to archiving.

[Guest Giant Squidlike Creature]

Mwahahahaha!
