Whether you like it or not, the Boozerama Bar has been an important part of this board's history. There were about seventeen 200-post-long topics in the series before the Boozerama Bar NE came along, which currently has close to 900 posts (the largest topic on this board ever, as far as I can tell). Nearly every EV board regular posted in at least one installment of the bar, and many have been more-or-less active denizens of the bar since it was started. The Boozerama has helped new members get used to the atmosphere of these boards. Not to mention the fact that it's fun as hell.
I believe the Bar has been one of the major factors in keeping this board active in recent times. I think that Boozerama should be considered a piece (perhaps a small piece, but still a piece) of the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=A%3A000001&SUBMIT;=Go")Best of Escape Velocity Posts,(/url) and thus deserves to be recognized in that archive. I don't propose having every single Boozerama Bar archived, especially since one is still quite active. However, I think a good way to have the Bar archived would be to only archive the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/001974.html")Boozerama Bar History(/url) topic, which has a list of links to all of the bars in reverse chronological order.
I know many moderators and "mature" members don't consider bars to be of any importance to this community. The Boozerama certainly isn't the most serious or productive part of this board, but it has been important to its development. I don't think it's asking too much to have just one topic dedicated to the Boozerama in the formal archives. Of course, I have no idea how topics are actually archived or how hard it is to do so. I suppose only admins can move topics to the archives.* Still, I'd like to put forth this request to our local authority figures (read: EVula) to see what they can do about getting (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/001974.html")this topic(/url) in the archives. Thank you for your time.
/me quickly puts on flame-retardant suit and prays that no negative karmasticks are headed my way.
*EDIT: Looking over the archive, it does say at the top that the moderators are the ones who move topics to the archives. Even better!

No! Boozerama sucks! Die, Boozerama! I hate you!
Seriously, um, good idea.

I think that when Andrew (or moderators?) archives a topic, no one can posts again. So, NE would be killed, wich I find sad. As for the orther Boozerama bars, I think that it is a neat idea. Condidering some of the archives and since I have only been partially here for a year and a half, many of the archived stuff only seems to me better then other threads and Boozerama rivals some of these easily.
Send an email to Andrew!

Don't email Andrew, I doubt he gives a damn about it (nothing personal, I just think that's his opinion).
Anyway, I'm not going to just up and do this without at least consulting my fellow moderators. I'll leave the final vote to Micah L... he should have an answer in about 2 years, which will be the next time he swings through here.

I reread your post Luke, and realized that there were seventeen topics. I now doubt that they will all be archived, maybe someone should read these again, make a resumé and choose the best. Count me out!

I completely support the idea of archiving all the Boozerama bars in list format.

Heh heh heh. I think I have seen him post once (if even that many times) since I have joined the boards. I remember you only having a few hundred posts when I joined, now you have thousands and I have barely over one thousand posts. Then again, there was a gap of about five months of me posting.

I'm all for it. I've enjoyed a few of the bars myself and I can't argue with the fact that they have kept this board much more active than it normally would have been. In fact, in the past year or so, I'd say the Boozerama is second only to the Empire series of EV plugins in keeping this community alive. If I have a vote, I say Archive Away.

Hrm, what about making a kind of list in a kind of way as follows: Bar One (phantompenguin doesn't know the stupid code to make the link work right now.) Bar Two (Read above) Bar Three (Look at Bar One) Bar Four (Sheesh, you think you'd catch on by now.) (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/001750.html#")Bar Five(/url) Etc. Etc. (I'm not making a link for etc. etc. plus one again, say it with me, I don't know the code.)
A mod could make the list, iLock it, and than iMove it to the list of the Greatest EV Posts. (Christ, I don't know the code! Stop bothering me!) Of course, we could just use (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/001974.html")Luke's Post(/url) but that would be messy. Than again, this is a messy place! So, whacha' think?

Oh yeah, I really don't know the code for the links. The above post took a great deal of copying and pasting, going to another site, more copying, going back to my post, more pasting, etc. etc. Than when I was almost finished I accidently closed the window. So I had to do everything all over again. The irony...grrr... Oh yeah EVula, just in case you don't get a change to look at (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/002658.html#")Tim's Forum(/url) I have a question for you. You offered (Or rather implied the offer) Tim hosting on (url="http://"http://www.evula.org")www.evula.org(/url) I had never actually looked around before but now that I'm trying to fill up your gap (The EV and EV:O survival guides, and maybe EV:N) on my own site (Coming soon) I decided to take a look at it. Alas, it said new applications for hosting wouldn't accepted 'at this time.' Could you clear this up?
Edit: Hell, just realized a simple link as follows: (url="http://"http://www.stupid.com")www.stupid.com(/url) will work as a link. And I went through the trouble of going to the profile page, clicking the UBB link, and copying and pasting the code there onto my post fifty-thousand times. Hell. ------------------ "I love deadlines, I love the 'whooshing' sound they make as they go by." - Douglas Adams.

If you go to the Boozerama Bar History link that Luke had posted previously, you will enter a topic listing all Boozerama Bar topics; which is the one that Luke had suggested putting in the archives. UR is excited that the Boozerama Bar that he started over a year ago is still around, having almost twenty topics keeping it alive.
Lol, UR, you should be proud.

I belive EVula.org is closed, But will open soon, Prehaps emailing EVula would give you an account, But of course I cant speak for EVula. I've directed him to this topic, and prehaps he will contact you.
Anyways, I Belive EVula is planning on filling the gap...
