Hi Tim,

 

Me again...

After overcoming the initial "New Forum Angst" I will try to contribute to this Forum.

 

As you can tell I got the hang of it now...

 

So:

 

I went throught my old files and stumbled over some archived AOL Folders. I have the Folder #2 throught Folder#9 (parts of the #1 and some of the #10). Some condenst 300+ pages, of old school Steadicam Info, when printed...

 

(Not to mention The Steadicam Letters most of them scanned... But I think you have to ask Garret about that...)

 

(No guys I can't e-mail it to you, last time I tried, it took 5 and a half hours and my computer crashed and that was only for files 2, 3 and 4, So no I can not mail it to you. So don't ask...)

 

Any interesed in adding it to your Archives, There are nowhere left on the net and will be for sure lost if not enbedded in a permanent Archive.

 

I condenst and edited some of them to just the real tech stuff, even though most of it is out dated it would be fun to relive once in a while... I do not believe that anybody owns right to it as they are gone.

 

(Maybe Joe Broderick, but my archives exide his by far...)

 

Just an idea...

 

Take care,

Any progress on the AOL folders being archived here??

Tim,

I have folders *2, 3, 6, 7 and 8: if you havent already gotten them from Erwin.

Anybody else have the other folders?(Erwin please please come back!) C'mon guys it would be great to have a complete archive of these online.

Did anything ever become of the old archives and the pre 2004 forum archives?

 

Not yet.

 

I have the old cinematography.com forums (98-2004) and steadicamforum.com forums (2000-2004) in a MSSQL db and related HTML files. The company that developed the software we used back then was sold a couple of times and then finally folded, and the data format is a bit of a mess.

 

I need to find a database developer who can help me sort this out.

Tim,

I would love to help the process to make sure the archives are not lost, and i would even help pay for that.

 

I was wondering if we can start some sort of a kickstarter campaign to get the funds together so we can get the archives converted.

just an idea, what do you think?
