Btw, you have anything from CWN? He was my favorite artist back in the day. Now almost all of his catalog is gone. May be C.W.N. or something similar. I lost all those files when my first laptop died.

Yeah that's the best way. :) Always much easier to review when you have nothing else to do too, no other dues hanging over that keep distracting; worsening the flow of words... which is pretty much always the case for some reason...

Unfortunately I only have the same eight tracks he has online right now, archived a bit too late. :/ If there's any other artist though...

Oh that's cool, I'm a pretty heavy movie reviewer too... by my own standards, though only post those on my own site. Recently passed the 1,000 milestone. :) Wonder how far you are there?

How are you archiving these things? Can you explain that to me?

Manually. I had a userscript to transform /listen/ to /download/ in URLs, so I could just go via the main audio page for each user and download all tracks on a per user basis, but still spent a looot of time waiting on the downloads to finish, going to the next user, repeating the process, and dragging the files to folders sorted by username. Now that there's a limitation on download requests though it's pretty much impossible to do any real archiving there. :/ Wish I'd done more when it was possible.

That sounds like a lot of work. That was nice of you to archive what ever you could. It really sucks when something is vanished forever. You never know how important it could be to another user.

Yeah it was, but the prospect of a complete collection of the AP seemed rewarding enough to merit the task. :) Never did get that far though, it really is huge... indeed, and you never know when or what'll go next, so much great content on the verge, always...

It is too bad that there is not a warning process. If they announced what they planned on removing or who would be next to drop all posts. It could be a few days at least. I don't really see how that would hurt anybody.

People talking about losing posts and I'm here not sure if I lost any. Last I checked I was around this high so...

Thanks. It felt like it was taking an eternity. Then again I'm closing in on the 50s for level so that makes sense. Not hitting 60 til after 2020 when my account turns 10 though.

If you lost a large enough amount you would notice, unless you asked to have them all gone. If you asked for it, than the only question would be why.

after 12 years 7 months and 17 days it has finally happened. i have reached the final ng level

Yeah, a little time to save all that which would otherwise be lost forever... would be good if it really all has to be removed in the first place.

Maybe you're just posting in all the right threads; none by the users who are getting their posts purged. :) Sometimes feel like I should just stick with the wi/ht and P-Bot posts to avoid them fatal post drops, but oh well, it's in General everything's going on...

It does get slow! XD You can do it! I'm way past my tenth already, still not quite there yet...

The most impressive accomplishment of all! :D Congrats!

Hit level 37. I also passed 9,000 b/p recently, so I'm about 35% of the way toward Supreme Commander rank.

Level 54. The light is near.

I would rank this achievement up there with me getting the gold and deity whistles by the old NG whistle system but Thank you.

Congrats on such a goal its always a nice one.

65,535 B/P

And with that number, I'll retire from B/Ping. If anyone asks, "why at 65,535?" I'll just say FFFF.

That was a very difficult goal to achieve. I was proud when I earned my Deity Whistle.

8,888 Posts!

We'll see how long it lasts. I lost what felt like 2,000 posts this year already.

You are preaching to the choir. Between users purging all their posts, topics being deleted, and posts vanishing for no reason, I have lost at least 2,000 posts this year. Just another reason why 2017 was not do great.

20,000 Blams

Feels like I've been waiting on this one for years now... finally!

Congrats. Are you going to stop blamming now? That is a very nice number.

Thanks. :) Nah, no plans to stop at any particular number, though considering the rarity of blams it seems like I'll be stuck at 20K for quite some time now...
