Voices from the Archives

[Willets Point]

Since we save every damn thing ever written on this forum, let's take a look back at some great threads from the archives.

First, a classic IGT from 2005 which Swan Swan H tries to carry all by himself (I miss that guy). Then Holy Chicken tells a story about an evil squirrel.

A thread about fighting ham and fondling cheerleaders.

On EZBoard, a thread about what number Matsui will wear devolves into freestyle rap on page 2.

Something that happens quite often actually.

Sadly, some of our threads lose a whole lot when links to photos go dead. We should find somewhere trustworthy to host our favorite photos.

Crazy, man.

I just voted for 77 and it told me only registered members could vote. It seems I no longer have an ezboard account.

Anyway, nice finds

You can put photos where the archives are. If that's not trustworthy, we're
back at square one anyways.

Which reminds me, I need to take a backup of the archives.

Cooby: Were you logged in?

KC: What I was getting at is that most people link photos from other sites so if we want to make sure we can see them in the future we'd have to load them on one's own server. I don't think anyone other than you has the ability right now to load images on to your server for the archives. Maybe we could do something like a joint Flickr account because otherwise we'd have to pester you every time we want to save a photo.

No, not when I tried to vote, but then when I tried it said cooby does not exist. Kinda freaky feeling.

Of course you don't exist. You're my imaginary friend.

Things that are making me laugh so hard I'm crying:

* "Filthy little beast." -Elster
* Basically the entire George Foster thread, especially with Val trying to talk about his picture while we're all rapping
* "And here it is Silly Puttied." -Yancy
* John Rocker and the kitten making another appearance

Great finds.

Gotcha, WP ... I quickly read "we" different than what you meant.

your pictures would be safe on imageshack

This week's flashbacks:

Edgy and others display a whole lot of lovin' for Jorge Julio.

A Pirate KTE devolves into pirate speak.

The fascination with Kevin Elster, discussed.

And from the Non Baseball Forum, the strangest poll in Crane Pool history. Well, at least at that time.

Digging up old threads for shits and giggles:

• Valadius wins an opening pitch
  
• Frayed Knot channels Ms. Met


• Old people reminisce about a notorious trade


• The things we do to bust a slump


• Games so memorable they have a name


• A tribute to Vin Scully, who talks a lot


• Soupcan is a Communist

I remember that thread about the apple , hard to believe it's nearly a year ago already.
