Brilliant work CB, Deano, Jarusa, Cazs and whoever else was responsible for this masterpiece in such quick time. I was online on Friday and saw TBV disappear before my eyes, in fact I may have been one of the final posters. Very sad, I feel bitter about it but I guess we all should look to the future and maybe learn a few lessons from the past. This is amazing to get this thing up so quick. It reminds me of a Get Smart episode where KAOS were destroying city buildings but the public never knew because an army of workers would rebuild them overnight. Anyway perhaps Synbad can log in and give us dictionary definitions of arrogant, overbearing, self important, intolerant, petty and spiteful, then we'll have very clear guidelines as to how to behave (mods can delete this bit if it's provocative).

Re TBV, seems a shame that such a successful site, such a time capsule of views on a great Australian cultural pursuit should just disappear into the ether. If Go Baggers is reading this or if camelboy could pass on a suggestion, the National Library and State Libraries archive various websites as they go out of existence to maintain a record of the range of online publication that have existed. Otherwise these ephemeral reflections of what we are circa 2005 are lost forever. I reckon TBV would be an excellent example of a footy forum, and I doubt they have archived any others. If interested GB could email info@slv.vic.gov.au or check http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/about/partner ... b/pandora/ . be a real shame if it just disappeared. Imagine if we could access footy discussion from 1905, I reckon TBV would fascinate people in 2105.

thanks gerry,

That is a good suggestion, I think I remember that bomberblitz was approached by the national library to have its content archived. This may be a path the TBV content could take.

Congrats to everybody involved with getting this site up so fast.

Let's all move on and focus on what makes this community great and worth visiting so often.

I feel loved again...

Yeah, Gerry I was thinking the same thing too. TBV is too good to waste.
For example:

A Collingwood and Carlton 2004 prediction thread that was close to being true (no one else commented on it at the time tho)
http://theblueview.org/phpboard/viewtopic.php?t=9002

Tommi buys a suit but only to wear once to a Carlton function. He wants to get his money back the next day for it
http://theblueview.org/phpboard/viewtopic.php?t=8997

Carlton's first win in 2004, some people are really happy
http://theblueview.org/phpboard/viewtopic.php?t=9210

Post LA drug taking, a new Carlton song
http://theblueview.org/phpboard/viewtopic.php?t=9360

There's heaps of other good stuff here. It should be kept.
