Before "Doomsday" there was "Empire"

I noticed under characters that I recently renamed the cleric that I played in Ernie's game by the same name "Gede" that I used in the online game here:

Is that Scott’s old board?

If so, there were some threads there that I remember wishing hadn’t been lost when it was closed down.

I was looking at an email in my [e-mail] at Yahoo account. It was where Gary in 2003 was pressuring me to be moderator at Dragonsfoot and I said what about Scott? I said he is more reasonable than I am and I gave Gary the link to that site.

What are you guys looking at? I don't see anything with those links. On the second link I get this response:

Not Found
The requested URL /index.cgi was not found on this server.

That is weird its working for me:

Wow, good find.

[grodog]

Hmmm.

I wonder if we could recover some of the old PPP boards this way, before the crashes in 2002-4 or so?

I’m not able to get any of the content to come up, just the navigation pages.

I can't find anything that works from my old emails with Rob about Pied Piper except the website:

We have to salvage all the Rob projects we were attached to for a therapy group... We can call it "the Pun Demon House" for our absentee comrade...

[GRWelsh]

Okay, I can see it now using my personal desktop. Perhaps my work computer was blocking me. I can see what the web page looks like and the forums and subject listings, but I am unable to read any of the posts. I vaguely remember this website but I don't remember why Scott switched to Doomsday... They seem very much alike, operationally.

I was able to read some of the posts by pulling ‘last 10 posts’ and clicking specific members and looking at their most recent posts. Cant see them all, but I was able to read a few.

When you Gary Gygaxatize your own name you lose track.

The Ernie character sheet that I lost resurfaced and I was incorrect.

I did not use the name "Gede" as I just mentioned above. I named the cleric "Neeg". Oops!
