I think I might cry...here's why ;( ;(

I'm going through old posts, trying to figure out how many posts I've written for FP from my own services. Anyways, I came across an old thread I had for an old, old forum. Anyways, I came across the statistics.

Forum Name: Bibbo General Discussion Board
Link to Forum: http://www.bibbo.org
Description (Approx 230 characters):
A general discussion board with 4,000+ posts, 1,600+ topics, and 280+ members. Forums: General, Gaming, Graphics, Music, Technology, The World, TV & Movies, Advertising, Buy/Sell/Trade, and a Help Center. Only three rules!

The things I would do right now to have been home to keep working on that site. 280+ members, with new members coming in each day, and over 100 posts each day was awesome. However, I ended up going away for over a year and the site died out without any staff as I ran it myself.

Anyways...I'm just really sad as that was June 29, 2010 and the size it would be now would be CRAZY huge if I could have been home and kept up the growth.

AHHHHH gr.. I'm mad.
I think I have the database somewhere; maybe I could sell it...But it's so old. Maybe someone will want a start up db.

I know how nostalgia feels... though that seems like a pretty amazing fine it's still pretty unclear as to what you can do with it now.

Oh it probably will not turn into anything... However, it's possible that someone would want the database for 280+ valid email addresses, or the database to have a ton of topics for people to reply to.

Who knows.

 

[Poopy Head]

I understand that, but it just sounded like you were speaking of all the things you could do with the forum now that you found the database. 😉

 

[pandaa]

Wouldn't all the old dates for the topics look weird?

Jesus, that sucks. 🙁

Let the past remain the past.

That would be my suggestion - advice.

True, I am not actually that sad 😛 However, it is a shame that I couldn't have worked on that project more. I won't revive it as I don't believe in using old databases as it is misleading. The dates would all be old, the growth wouldn't be the same, etc.

If anything I would sell it on to someone who may be interested, or perhaps create a mailing list. However, I don't think 280+ people would all want to receive an ad from me about my new site, and especially not an ad from someone else if I sold the list.

So I'll probably keep it idle/dead. + Just realized. The database is most likely saved on my old laptop which is brain dead...So yeah.

i feel bad for you too,

you would have a huge member base after 2 years with that rate of member registration
