Igor has decided to keep all forums and all posts up on AF from 3geez. now should we delete those posts or leave them there? they are after all, OUR posts..

Also, just a little tid bit, this is what igor wrote after finding out we were leaving.. the feeling is mutual I must admit..


I have to say I am elated that I no longer have to deal with all the nonsense

too bad we can't move them here. We should scavenge as much info as we can and just delete them when we're done

You would think that he would be able to act like an adult about all of this. I mean we are all here just trying to find out stuff about our cars and help each other out. If he wants to play games like my 4 year old, so be it.


fuck em all , let god sort em out.....

i might be able to spider the posts from AF
been always thinking about it for the past 2 3geez forums
save into a database and dump it into something useful

what will happen to the past posts in the future?
and when?

hopefully im able to help if i have time

Best thing would be if we could just move them.....but that would take A LOT of time, but maybe there is a program out there that could make it easy who knows. But for the existing posts I say we leave them until we can think of a way to get em'.

we'll soon fill up this board with information just like the old one and all the other old boards from the past. just delete them

Given most of them were of the same stuff - right springs for my car, paint, body kits, Nate being Nate - I think we will fill it all back up in time. I would like to see some of Pheadux(?) stuff moved over here; his work with the carbed A20 and also intake manifold matching shouldn't be lost; it's FAQ material. Other than some other stuff, let Igor have it. We will just make more.

I do, however, endorse the idea of copying and storing the threads. I might be able to help with that... I'll see what I can work out with Marc...

If we can I say leave the posts there, BUT transfer as many as you can over AND post a Sticky post in Each section noting the move to the new site.

I agree, if its possible to transfer some the important posts that gave some relevant info, to copy them over here, but you would almost have to go through like 30,000+ posts, unless someone has a simplier and better way to sift and search through all those posts.

someone else will have to do the sticky post because none of the 3geez moderators including me have their powers anymore..

I think you'd have to write some fancy script to get the threads from the html saved by the spider into an sql database. From there, we could use vBulletin's BB Import System...

It would probably be easier to just manually copy over the most important stuff, and forget about the rest.

This may be a stupid idea but what if there was a new section on the 3Geez page along with "Genera" and "Off Topic" that read, "OLD POST's" we can copy & paste to that. Just throw it all in there and sort it out later. Just an idea. That way whatever people "feel" is important can be placed in there and decide later what we want to use.

Don87LX

Jdub's idea has merit. Instead of trying to organize all the posts in to seperate forums just make an old data table and spider in the old posts into one big lump. Then the information in the could be searchable through the search text field.

But on the other hard is it worth the space? I mean people rarely bother to do a search before asking a question I think we could just leave the posts or delete them. If we leave them then we get the satisfaction of knowing we are eating up igor's diskspace (however small the space may be)

:( Please don't remove those post's. In my continuing efforts to help people you'd be erasing a ton of information that I may need to refer to in order to provide accurate information. I'm not talking about all the posts I did to help people. It's everyone else's post's on AF that have left a vast amount of usefull information that, I for one find very informative for myself and to provide to others. And you should realize I am a person that goes out of his way to help, so I would like my voice to weigh a little more on this topic. ;)

I use the old board from time to time digging up usefull information. I fully surrport anything that preserves those AF post's.

if anything, i feel that the faq's and how-to's should be deleted from AF. those were created by 3Geezers and now igor has them. if igor is going to be a dick and keep those forums open and unaffiliated with 3Geez, he should at least have the decency to remove the information that we created long before AF ever entered the picture.

Bring all of OUR information here (ie all the mass amounts of 3g data and information that we've built up). Leave all the other junk (the random stuff) there for him.

If someone wants 3rd gen accord info, they should be here, not on AF.

Yes take our post, but leave a nice link to our site... people will come.

-I'm going to try and repost old carb/performance stuff:

1)Mechanical Secondary Keihin conversion (how to)
2)Flipped lid (already taken care of)
3)Cam installation (How to in the works)
4)Carb hoodscoop (how to? maybe)
5)Limited vaccum setup (need Erics help on this one)

i just noticed that igor took the in association with 86-89accord.com off of our section, to me that is like claiming all that information as his own, i say we go over there and delete the old posts, all the same questions will be asked within a month anyways (mostly by me):D

I agree with Jdub and Don87's idea. It would be way quicker to search thru' it like that. Save it as a text file, or make it into an archive section like on the ezboard. IF a couple of people worked a few sections at a time, it would be finished quick.

And then delete it all from AF. I don't remember many of the people from other boards helping build the posts or information. So why should they get it? If they want it, they can come here. To it's respectful place. Personally I think some of the other boards (mainly the Honda boards) should know how we (3Geez) were treated so maybe that will sway them and get their own sites.

Oh yeah, I love the switch, I can come home from work, hit the forums and have everything read in 20 minutes. Where was the first board at?

problem is, we cant delete anything. igor took everyone's mod priveleges away

Are they're any other AF mods who would be willing to do it for us. Igor dosent deserve the fruits of our labor and knowlege.

Each Individual can delete their own posts at will, Except Nate he's Banned LOL

Well, I dont think people can delete their posts if they originated the post. I have tried that and it always said acces denied.

05-03-2002, 07:22 PM
you can't delete the whole post but u can edit it so it's blank

87accordlxi
05-03-2002, 07:31 PM
alot of us have hundreds of posts on AF. editing them all would be a huge, if not impossible, undertaking. best thing we can do now is direct everyone who posts there to this board

87Hybrid
05-03-2002, 07:39 PM
I have started deleting my posts. Starting with the pics. I will leave any posts that have value untill we decide what exactly to do with them then I will take the rest of mine. Then send a PM asking to be unrtegistered.

Just found out that you cannot delete posts that you stwrted if someone else replyed.

Jerren
05-04-2002, 12:29 PM
i think we will just post like hell and get all of the good info back. and answer all of the questions that people may ask. and btw, igor is only like 15. asking him to be an "adult" about the situation would be stretching it. if you talk to him you can tell. but he's on smart focker. i personally like the guy. but then again, i don't know what the hell happened and why we moved. but i like having our own board any way. so lets have fun guys
