Want to see what the board looked like in times past? Or to have a look at a site which you bookmarked but has disappeared forever?

Try this site: http://www.archive.org/. All you have to do is type the url of the site you want in the box marked WayBackMachine and hit the button marked Take Me Back.

Dunno. They didn't have THAT many AWAD pages. I tried to work out what was going on, but there's not enough info to see if one exists. Some guy, that Capital Kiwi, eh? Wonder what he's up to now!

Well, Hogmaster Tsuwm, it seems that Hogwash® has now been preserved for posterity!

And I still like the old logo better...good to see it again...much more lively and uplifting!

Some of the links take forever to download, or even error out, but on the whole, because of the way AWADtalk is programmed, it seems you have access to the entire board in retro from the latest date by clicking through the page numbers at the bottom (and I clicked on my handle to see if the profile would come up, it only opened halfway, but I'm guessin' it will).

And it's good to see Max join us again!

We all seemed so young and innocent back then. What went wrong?

That guy was a total waste of space from what I can see - good riddance to bad rubbish, we don't need his sort around here, I say. The only post he made that I really like is still here anyway - just do a search for planck.

Yeah, he was a right pillock. Give him GBH of the 'ear'ole from me if you happen to come across him, sjm. BTW, what is an sjm, and is it curable?

Actually, kinda miss the guy meownsel'!

>right pillock

This doesn't really belong in I&A, but the above phrase got me thinking again about the wonderful richness of Blighty's version of our tongue when it comes to insults and invective. Words like pillock seem so much more colourful and meaningful than the USn equivalents, if they exist.

And, in answer to your question, pfranz, regrettably the state of being a sjm is terminal.
