Zeeth Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 So I recently discovered the Palmtalk archive http://69.94.66.81/cgi-bin/ptarchive/ikonboard.cgi? But I can't search because I wasn't a member of the old board, and registration isn't open for obvious reasons. Can the person who runs this board make it so searching the forum is possible to non-members (but not posting obviously) or do I just have to manually sift through everything? Just curious, thanks Keith Keith Palmetto, Florida (10a) and Tampa, Florida (9b/10a) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just type your search terms and then copy/paste this: site:http://69.94.66.81/cgi-bin/ptarchive/ikonboard.cgi Or just used Google Advanced Search... For example, this is what a search for Dypsis would look like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmy Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) I was able to log in... Interesting... Some old memories in there. I was 15 years old when I first joined, just barely 15. I feel like a complete idiot when I posted back then. lol...

PALM MOD Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 That old board is now on a "private" server and has been abandoned as far as the ability to update software, post, or do any administration. It's future is limited to none, and it's present state is fragile, depending on how it is accessed and used. Our intention was to keep it from being accessed in order to keep it from crashing while possibly trying to save some parts. However, I am not sure at this point. In other words, don't plan on having access forever. Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
