Goodbye old ILx

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

It seems that the original ILx boards have vanished from LUSENET. Phil G has deleted a great deal of old boards, including Ask A Drunk and the 10 most influential people board.

Rest in cyber peace.

That's right Curtis. We can all go to them. In our hearts and minds.

That single actio has probably reduced are googlability by several orders of magnitude.

I asked him to (several other people seconded it), and Phil did it personally. He's v.impressed with our new site (or what I told him about it. I'm not sure he's visited).

I'm not sure whether the Google thing is good or bad.

(and I guess this is a good time to remind people that you can change a Greenspun URL to an ilXor one simply by changing the host name to www.ilxor.com and leaving the /bboard... bit the same)

Having seen this thread earlier, I misread a NYT headline today -- "Greenspan is Grumpy" as 'Greenspun is Grumpy," thought that explained the ILX deletion.

darn1elle met greenspun in person!!

I've just typed "Hundred Reasons" and then "Hundred Reasons shite" into google and the defunct Greenspun link still shows up. Ilxor is nowhere to be seen.

It won't reduce our googlability until the bots get around to cleaning up their previous territory-marking wee.

I mean, you'll still see it on google (but the link won't work).

Cool! I'm not opening any of those threads though, as there is always weird HTML stuff on them.
