Thinking back to totse one thing stands out

    The amount of fucking whining that was done on the board.

    If registrations were open there'd be whining about the noobies. If registrations were closed they'd be whining about the lack of activity. In the summer they'd be whining about tsunoobies. If people were spamming up the threads they'd be whining about that. If the mods banned the people who were spamming - more whining.

    I don't think they ever stopped whinging ever on that forum. Spectral helped make the whole thing worse, but it wasn't even him. Just a bunch of little pansies.

    Oh and mods whinging about having to be mods, and people whining about wanting to be mods, and people whining about mods.

    Totse gave me cancer I swear.

    The ONE thing that sticks out to me is how robot.txt deleted over 10 months worth of content from March 2001 up until shortly after 9/11

    That’s what fucking doesn’t sit right with me

    Source? Seems like it could be in response to the more aggressive laws.

    I think Trump recently got into it with Spez on Reddit for deleting out a AMA post or something on Trumps personal account.

    I believe the defense for Spez was "It was a robot.txt" as if to suggest trump or a staff/employee of his deleted it or Trump himself.

    not sure if I got that story right about Trump but in general that is what robot text is. and when I was booted and IP banned.. the page first said "you're banned".. with a robot.txt on the page. that's the first time I learned about it. forgot about it and came across it years later to find out what again it was.

    And it also is supposed to block crawlers. but archive was different. it didn't prnt copy it made it's own web pages in Im guessing it's own proprietary version of html. so it was able to snapshot and remake the pages. those pages were later removed. perhaps the language didn't matter because either robot.txt took care of it (meaning someone backdoor into it) or someone at archive.org removed them.
