New Alliances Archives Are Open, ...and under construction!

[golden_trillium]

Hello everyone! I'm pleased to announce that we finally (lol) are getting going on archiving the old New Alliances threads from the old forum. This is a huuuuge project! We really did a lot of writing :sad: ...but anyway, the archive is now open and new stuff is being added daily. The archive can be found here:

http://s6.invisionfree.com/NA_The_Past/

It is a separate forum (though linked to this one through Pinkie's technical wizardry- we share a c-box, for example), so if you wish to log in, you will have to re-register. However, you may read the posts wiithout registering if you like.

And on a related note...we need help! There are quite literally hundreds and hundreds of pages of old NA material that we hope to eventually repost. So if anyone would be interested in helping- give me a shout. No particular technical expertise is needed- if you can post on this forum, you have the skills!

Thanks, all, and please ask if you have any questions!

It is rather fun to read the old stuff, isn't it? *chuckles* It's like seeing the charries as little kids again :love:

Uni, if you'd like to help, that would be awesome!! There are (as I see it now), basically two categories of help we could use:

1. We hope eventually to have the first post in each thread be a brief summary (a few bullet points, probably) of the major happenings in that thread, to make it easier to find particular stuff. So we could use someone(s) to read through the thread when it is all posted and add the summary to the first post. I figure that person(s) could also fix any glaring formatting errors that they see as they go along. I've surely missed something :lol:

2. And, of course, it would be great to have more people actually reposting stuff, too. I could get someone (or several somenes, the more the merrier) going on a thread other than the one I'm working on so we don't "clash" with each other and then each of us who are reposting work at our own pace.

Lemme know if either of those appeal, and thanks so much!!! :blokes:

GT I can do both... :) I love to read through all of those and everything.... in the right thread... :)

So if there is a thread I can start on working on... just send it to me on my e-mail.... I can do it in my free time between classes when I have nothing special to do. hehe... and it would be fun!

Uni, if you want to summarize, the only thread that is currently all done is the July 2006 one under The Way of the World Aftermath. It would be awesome if you could take care of that :dance: I will give you mod access to the Archive forum later today so that you can edit the first post in the thread to put in your summary whenever you have it.

Also, if you want to start reposting stuff, I can get you going on that, too...Ione has already volunteered to work on that as well, which is great! Hopefully with several people doing this we can make it a lot easier.


Thanks sooooo much!!! :hail: :hail: :blokes:
