Keen forum archives from 2001
Keen forum archives from 2001
Just before InsideTheWeb went down in March 2001, I made some archives of the various existing ITW Keen forums at that time. Here's a zip file containing them:
http://speedy.sh/w57Ef/keenboards-snortimer.zip
You can see some old members there like Thea, CrazyKeen, RoboBlue, Xky Rauh, and myself as well. Also Peter Heardgahna/Neil McRae.
It's not really organized very well, but basically:
each .htm file in the main folder was a separate forum (there were a whole bunch, because people were creating "secret" ones to hide from Peter/Neil).
Each subfolder contains some pages from within some threads of the forum with the same number.
Some images are also saved.
I had been planning to put it up on a site somewhere and make it browsable, but I never did figure out how to do that...

Member since at least 1998 with... ah... some long absences. I was even a moderator at one point. I'll probably keep coming back here and there as long as this place still exists.

Neat, and good thinking archiving. I can't say I recall these forums, but I do specifically remember being a member of a Yahoo Club (they're called groups now I believe) sometime between '99 and '02.
I wasn't very active, but I also lurked around some fan sites and a few message boards as well back in the day. I was more in a Wolf3D craze back then. (ie. Announcing over 100+ mods a month and never finishing them...)

Really? I rescanned with Avira just to make sure, and it didn't find anything.DHeadshot wrote:Can't download - contains a Trojan...
Can you be a bit more specific?

Legacyware generally trips modern anti-viruses, mostly with false positives. I remember getting a perfectly empty floppy disk from our batch of floppies that have never been outside our house except at purchase, popping it into our Win98 machine, and learning that they somehow had Empire.MonkeyB on them despite only ever being formatted on our old Packard Bell.

If it is a legacy thing, I can give you a copy the simple encryption thingy I wrote so the Antivirus doesn't work out what it is until it's downloaded...

Whaaat? Where did you get this idea from? Mediafire is leaps and bounds better than Rapidshare and similar sites. It has at least the decency to not make you wait a minute (or an hour) and they don't touch your files whatsoever (except to remove them on inactivity). As far as large scale free temporary file hosting sites go, I haven't seen any do it better yet.Gridlock wrote:Are you sure the virus (if there really is one) isn't somehow coming from Mediafire itself? Mediafire is a truly horrible site and I don't trust downloading anything from it.
What made you think they'd put viruses in any uploaded content, anyway? That would both be illegal and majorly hurt their entire business.
Most definitely a false alarm. Avira has done it a few times for me too (not on Mediafire hosted files, mind you).
Wow look at me I'm lurking
