Raiders of the
Lost BWBMR Technical Manual
As some of the elder PCKF residents are aware, AR made a page a
while back (a long while back) about the internal organs of the
BWBMR. It still resides on Geocities' server, but has not been
updated for a considerable period of time (since before Isis). It
can currently be found here. However, since this is
one of the more creative early artifacts of Keen fandom, I believe
it should have a secure home. How long will geocities hold onto an
inactive site?

Re: Raiders of

I agree with you, RoboBlue. This is an excellent site, and should
have a "secure home". This is the first time I have seen that
webpage, and I think that it is simply marvelous, and I don't want
it to go away.

Flaose left, Thea was already gone, and chogall was going to be
absent for six months, and eK almost never comes anyways, so they
needed a new admin, and picked me.

Re: Raiders of

Ah, that's pretty good site. Anyways - I've been thinking to
archive some sites too, I could do this one too. Spare copy often
isn't harmful.

I found thea's homepage, which seems to
still be more or less intact. No sign of bloogology, though.

I don't think geocities
will ever shut down an inactive site because you'll never know when
it will come in handy.
I guess you can delete your own site on
geocities if you really wanted to.
Oh, I was surprised that
Xtra become an admin so soon. What with most of the admins are
leaving, Xtra's a good choice. It's also hard to find a trustworthy
member in the PCKF. You never know when somebody might decide to
rebel. 
KeenRush is a good choice for admin too, but he might take
that opportunity to... spam the boards
you know what i'm talking about!

I don't think Geocities applies their deleting policy to older
websites, the really old ones. Who knows though, would we dare to
challenge fate!
It should be noted, for those that don't
know, some of those websites are still active at least they were
earlier this year. I believe the ones that were active are Keen
Signs, the Distortions of Mr. Billy Blaze, and maybe Commander Keen
Eternal.

Yeah. Too bad, I really wished to see it. Very nice picture xtra!
And it's cool to browse around the mirrors..

I think it was, but not anymore..
And
Unfleex, "so soon"? Xtra has been here quite a time already..

I have some of the graphics locked away in a corrupt word document

extract them, I could look for it.

Yeah. The same thing
happened to me in the second to last time I checked it out. My
sister was a member of PCKF for a short period of time, and on the
previous board, she requested a page about Thea. For some unknown
reason, someone on the board created a "Thea FanSite".

I've added CKNexus (in case it goes down, and the site it's on
right now is horribly slow), and KeenVault (hope you don't mind

Re:

Not at all xtra, but could you tell me where you got it?
And yeah, Nexus is one of the best sites, definitely worth of
archiving!
Anyways, I think I have all the old Keen Vaults still
on hard drive, I'll post screens about evolution of my Keen sites on
the new page when it's done.. (Ok, ok, I will finish it when I have
again some more time on my hands!)

Re:

I made a backup of CKNet right before it went down and then
completely forgot about it. The other day when I was looking at this
post I suddenly remembered it and decided to upload
KeenVault.
KeenRush-- why would you still have all of the
progressions of your site, yet have deleted mostly-done mods that
looked excellent?

I see..
Ok.
Oh, and I think I got your point - that I haven't
actually done anything and just say so? In case you think that (and
I thought you do, because of you have often said about that thing),
I gotta say you're totally wrong..
I really have done modding
every week, but as said before I have stopped a lot of stuff - and
almost all deleted. And besides, how do you know they were so
excellent, my skills suck and badly.. 
But in case you want some proves, I can send you some
screenshots.. Though, how do I know do you believe it..

Re: I

Hey Xtra, do you just want me to use the mirrors that you uploaded
whenever I edit them? For the -ology and other mirrors I made I was
going to upload them to a Keencyclopedia sub-directory but I can
just use the ones you already uploaded.
I too backed up
everything on CK.net before it went down

I saw wrong last
time..
^ Yeah, agree!
I feel much better now. And I'm really sorry.. Oh, and I will think
twice for now on before deleting stuff!
By the way, I would
like to see the really first Commander Keen Net start page. It's
part of CK history, and if I remember correct it was second Keen
site I ever saw in the web and it led me to this place and so on..

Re: I saw wrong

If you make a lot of mods, but are never completely able to finish
them, why not make a collective mod? You could import graphics and
levels from your other mods, and just use one storyline to connect
them. It could be a little strange, but it's worth a try.

Yes, but it's not exactly the
same since it doesn't scale with the browser window. Oh, and a few
new sections have been added and the names of some sections
changed.
Speaking of the old design, Marky came up with most
of the sections for the newsletter webpage and their original names.
Some of the ideas he threw out there helped the newsletter grow in
the beginning.
Quote:

web.archive.org/web/20020...rkeen.net/
An additional piece of
information some people might not know is that the Newsletter was
first hosted at Angelfire. At that time I believe we were using a
slightly different design; all the buttons were represented by an
image and we used an "image map" to define where the links were on
that image. You can still see the html tags for the "image map" in
the source, it's right below the menu. To find it look for, "This is
in reserve out for now;."
