I suspect you'll regret saying that if someone suddenly sends you several hundred sheets of paper to copy out! :lol:

I think Damien has got it right- times have changed anyway.

Modified original post, didn't think of someone having paper copies

I do agree with you and Damien. Guestbooks were cutting edge when we first put them up on the site, now with forums, facebook and twitter etc I do think they are old tech that have been passed by other methods

...were there any other URL's which pointed to the guestbook than the current one on the home page? The internet wayback machine (http://archive.org/web/web.php) has many archives of the main page, but it got a redirect error on the guestbook.

I personally think it is a bloody crime that they have shut it down without forewarning big Al of the closure. A lot of people have taken the time and effort to make positive entries and pay the project many compliments ( and a few negatives obviously) over the years and I think i am right in saying Bill and the project have made some useful contacts through the guest book over the years. Even if it is old technology who cares, new is not always best and can't stand this bulls--t Farce book and Twotter lot which usually ends in tears anyway when somebody is given a right verbal bashing and all their dirty linen is aired in public for all to see even if its just for an evening or so before it is taken down. I have been asked many times to join farce book by Family members mainly but have resisted thus far. The company want prosecuting for shutting it down without warning! Bunch of Bas---ds !

However I have every confidence in Al to coming up with something and possibly retrieving some if not all from some source or another. Al I bet Fred Blois has it all down loaded and backed up for one person that comes to mind. I never gave it a thought that this might happen. :shock:

thanks Stuart I hadn't heard of this before have tried the actual web address and it's not working either even though it says it has a snapshot going back to 2003. I'll keep trying

If anybody has got a copy please send it and i'll try and do something with it even if it is a paper copy

New Guest Book up and running, It is still a work in progress as regards to colour theme but is fully functioning and self hosted so we won't have the same situation again of loosing entries

Hmm what's with the private messages on the guestbook?

Whats the point in signing it if it's a big secret?

Not liking :(

Well don't use private message it's up to the individual if they want their message to be public

It's probably your nosiness coming out which is why you don't like it
