Internet WAYBACK Machine
Unbeknown'st to many, there's a site that swipes then archives other sites,
saves them for posterity. Here's the SPOOF the way it looked in the good old days.
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://thespoof.com
You'll see some of the Lowtons stories there. Be sure and check out Mark Lowton's profile.
Seems like a really nice guy.
Mark's profile
Kind of a fun site. Go there, type in a URL,
you might find one of your old sites there, archived for all the world to see.

That's pretty cool, Manny.

I dunno about Mark, but Paul's stories are still live on the site.

Re: Internet WAYBACK Machine
Thanks much, PM
Talk about memory lane! The first link
I clicked on had a story of mine on the front page. It had one of the most brilliantly funny "polls" that I ever wrote  ..And some of the old forum is there, too.
What a treat. You've been doing your homework!

Re: Internet WAYBACK Machine
unfortunately the
WAYBACK
machine doesn't record everything.
so, I'm out of luck. Unless the inert gas's
that be take pity on me and give me back my
stories.

Re: Internet WAYBACK Machine
thx JJ. But Helium him/her self DID warn me about typing stories into the spoof textbox without having backups. I didn't heed the warning because I thought I'd never do anything that would get me banned.

Re: Internet WAYBACK Machine
Well,
Of course... it is your call. But here's what I had in mind. Nothing spectacular - just a group effort.
and Produce, feel free to say "Nope JJ, don't bother..." I know I can be pushy, outspoken, out of line, and a general a$$ at times, but I do have heart! (even if it is small and pumps a lime green colored blood!)
=== JJ's pushy idea ===
(actually two or three choices)
1. Copy and paste email text below - send individual emails to helium.
or
2. Send one copy from everyone: Have anyone who wants to sign... put their name and email address either here or in an email to me.
or
3. [Put Suggestion here.]
Can we get a concensus here? (Depending upon Produce's wishes)
=========== email text begin ===================Dear Helium,
It has come the attention of several previous Spoof writers that you have banned Produce. We are here to ask simply that you allow Produce access to save his stories.
He will be saving all of his work from now on but he did not have back-ups of the stories that you had live on your server.
Helium, please have a heart, respond to Produce and give him his stories back. Produce has been a positive aspect to the Spoof of late. So, one last time - "Please have a real human heart get Produce's stories back to him."
============= email text end =================

No .. actually .. anything anybody can do to get my stories back is most appreciated. Sounds like a good idea. I don't harbor any ill-will .. let the Spoof go forth and prosper but, I'd like my work back. I'm forgetting even what Flash wrote. Fortunately PM has 400 stories safe but Flash's are lost.
The Lowtons would not have done this. Or Doctor Jones. Helium hasn't replied so I assume he did it but then again .. there's Jack. Either way, the SPOOF is not a user friendly site regardless of who's ultimately in charge of day to day operations.

Okay then - I will also solicit Paul Lowton's signature... perhaps a kind word from the site's creator could add a little weight to the request.
So, sign up here to get Produce's (Flash Nitrate) stories back to him.
Exspoofers - include your spoof name - if you don't want to provide your email... that is okay but it would be much more convincing with email addresses.
