I have trouble reading the threads here because my "jump to first unread post" button won't work.  I can't surf from work so my surfing time is very limited.  I just don't have time to come around so much without the site not working right for me.  Anyone else have this problem?  Maybe I should try changing the board style to see if that helps.

My jump to first unread post hasn't worked in a while.  But with how they have my laptop clamped down at work, I just assumed it had something to do with that.  I.E. java and activex don't work so I can't use the formatting buttons and just have to memorize the coding for them.

Speaking of HN.  Using google's cache, much of the site can be found.  Now that would make an interesting geek project, rebuilding HN from google cache and putting it in a new DB.

Anyway, here are some nuggets that I found

Quote
..."And lo... it was written in the book of Hackernetworkius how it was that SpurtReynolds did live in exile from that which the wandering ones call JEFF.COM, and that he had received the wrath of Mike, and yea, verily even the wrath of those who 'swang from his nuts', and Spurt did come to the Land of Pepe (may all his dopjeo
    null), as well as to teh Geekery (OMFGLOL!!11). And with much ferocity Spurt didst wield his NOTEPAD.EXE as a flaming sword of righteousness for the faithful and true among HN's chosen..."--

Quote
From the book of Pbsaurus:

"And the ignorant were smitten by a torrent of frogs that were impervious to fire but had no other apparent use but for tissue harvestation in order to reattach a mandible to the rest of a skull from a decapitated person that was dredged from the bottom of a lake in order to start up a ventrilloquism act. And the Pbsaurus, then out of breath, fired up the trusty 5241G to dismember those that survived the torrent of frogs that were impervious to fire but had no other apparent use but for tissue harvestation in order to reattach a mandible to the rest of a skull from a decapitated person that was dredged from the bottom of a lake in order to start up a ventrilloquism act. After the carnage had subsided, Pbsaurus jumped over the bar and quickly poured ErgosumDominati a cold one. ErgosumDominati proposed a toast and there was much merriment. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Demosthenes was checking IPs from the Libris Mortuus, when the Evil Pepe alarm went off. Demosthenes slid down the ModPole to the ModCave and started surveilance. Demosthenes's trusty sidekick Lady Marmalade was already down in the ModCave trying to pinpoint the location of said sighting. Sure enough, there was an Evil Pepe sighting in the Newbie Board....."--Pbsaurus 10-16-2002 11:12 PM

We must not forget archive.org.

The problem with archive.org (aka Wayback Machine) is that it mostly archives static HTML pages. Forum threads are generated on the fly using (in HN's case) PHP. You will find old versions of HN's front page, as well as the forum main menu, which were static pages. Anything beyond that was not archived with any regularity.

Googlebots are a different matter. They cause forum pages to be generated. I found almost all of the Poetry Corner (aka Armando) thread by searching for hackernetwork.com Poetry Corner and displaying cached versions of all the hits. It's a time-consuming process to dig these out, and is still hit-or-miss. For example, I was able to recover all 14 pages of the Poetry Corner thread, except for page 6. Somehow, no Googlebot ever went there.

I'll give the Haiku threads a try when I have the time.

I got in contact with CG, and he said that not only was HN hacked that night, but also a bunch of other domains that he had on that server were also hacked. I made him an offer of several hunder dollars, however he informed me that someone had offered him $5,000 for it, and told me that if I could match that, then I could have it.

Yea, I don't have $5,000. It was worth a shot, though.

Hey guys, new to the board and just wondering if any of you know of a good way to string a series of callbacks to an earlier joke without seeming too heavy-handed about it. A friend of mine is good at this and he said he read this site???

I was digging through some old text files I have in my Dropbox account, and I came across one entitled "The Book of Hackernetworkius.txt".  I figured this was an appropriate thread in which to post it.

And as a good lead in, here's a Pepe angel tossing.

(http://www.guildhaven.org/images/angeltossing.gif)

Quote
In the beginning, there was the Internet.  It had form, and it had chaos, and it had many islands in that chaos where many netizens dwelled for a long age.

There was Crazy Greek, and he saw some of this chaos and made it his own.

Then, from some of that chaos he said "let there be a place where egos grow large and ranting is a skill.  Let it be called 'Hackernetwork', and let it be funny, and entertaining, and sarcastic, and filled with the fire of its members."  And there was Hackernetwork, and it was all that he said it should be.

Then there was tricky, and Cyber_Sniper, and Katt, and thunder3davis, and Kryzec, and Wiley, and Demosthenes.  Soon after there was Nebuchadnezzar (whom the gods name "Chris"), and Jon, and ErgoSumDominati, and LifeFateDeath (whose name was also LFD), and Lacerda, and TheJudge

Later still there was Joe Sixpack, and Jesterpoet, and TeKnowledge, and Jonas, and Nowledge, and Revka, and Leonidas, and Law, and Catwritr, and Detta, and Reimero, and Vespertine, and ydnamtnediserp, and jeee, and Daria, and DogStarMan, and PeyoteCoyote, and Phoenix, and SpurtReynolds, and Fade^C, and biggyfred, and dcrog, and Paco DeGaillo, and DiscipleOfChaos, and bane, and 12AX7, and 7thSON, and Jaepheth, and Phyre, and Malachi, and LuciferSam, and milifist, and Relandr, and Socrates, and gorgeous_si, and Rico, and Pinki, and LadyGendom, and Timberwolf, and Pseudonymph, and 0ren, and BlackWidow, and Inferno, and zao, and many others whose names are lost to us.

There was laughter, and much political discourse, and social discourse, and much flaming of the trolls, and the stupids, and the Age of Hackernetwork had begun.

There was also in the chaos of the Internet FARK.  Fark too had much rejoicing and discourse and flaming of trolls and stupids.  But lo, when the trolls and the stupids became great in number, and they became the favored of the gods there, many of the wise and funny and elite sought refuge from the hurrrrricane that it became.

So there were also BizB, and Pbsaurus, and PsiDefect, and Ivan, and Nexus Reaver, and Tedneedles, and Zorgon, and kgb33ns, and talix18, and Hisey, and Dangermonk, and others.

And Nebuchadnezzar (whom the gods name Chris) had also brought forth The Geekery (OMFGLOL!!1).  And there were still others.  There was Dark Shade, and Banshee, and binoboy, and HeavyJay, and hob goblin, and ho0ber, and blitzkrieg bop, and SoupBandit23 (whom the gods also name scribcake), and Crystalmonkey, and The_FOO, and snyperx, and Terrordronze, and Anyanka_was_framed, and Frozen Shade, and ihatecliches, and Agent_Tachyon, and still many others.

And many dwelled in both Hackernetwork and The Geekery, and much laughter and merriment and discourse was had by all.

There was the casting out of thunder3davis in Hackernetwork.  There were losses of forums, there were mass attacks upon both by trolls who cast their seed of stupid and discord throughout, and were smote in destruction by the mighty moderators of both forums to the delight of the membership.  There were the words of pepe, and there were the searches for ergo, and there were also the Time Wasted From Work, and much was good.

Many of the old regulars have been lost to time, and to the chaos of the Internet, but some appear again in other forms, in other places.

And lo, at last one day Hackernetwork was no more.  And Crazy Greek's eye did wander to other toil, and he became weary of Hackernetwork and its upkeep.  And he turned from it.

And there was also Bizarre Confessions.  And many sought it in the loss of Hackernetwork, and many more sought also The Geekery.

Thus the Age of The Geekery (OMFGLOL) had begun.  The Geekery became home to many that once dwelled in other places as well.  The Internet had changed, and now there were other places still that held the eye of members, but The Geekery held a special place in the hearts of many.

Well hello, Dark Shade.

Yes, forums aren't really much of a thing anymore.  We revived this for a little while, but it seems to have succumbed to entropy again.  Too many competing forms of communication, I suspect.

A few of us still hang around in the IRC channel (http://www.geekforum.org/index.php/topic,2761.msg134844.html#msg134844) though.  You are of course welcome there. 

There isn't usually much activity in there on weekends, but during the week (especially during the day) discussions of some sort are always happening.
