Now I'm all confused, when I was at home, the link to the old board worked for the new one. Now that I'm at work, the new link works, and not the old one.

And it looks like this board is alive again!

Hurrah!

yeah. it'll likely be problematic thru tonight.

So which link do we use?

now there's only one link. both go to the same place. http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/index.php

Could you, like, give me step-by-step instructions? Seeing as how I'm technologically retarded and all.

Click on the 'gossip' button! :)

Goddammit chabib

you know how you explain the IP number in another post? well how do you translate names (sonicyouth.com) to IP addresses-- it's done by DNS servers (domain name servers) basically they work like phonebooks.

anyway, as address changes migrate from server to server (kinda like by word of mouth if you will) you get the case that the DNS server that serves your home line is updated, and the one that serves your work connection is still stuck in the past. give it a couple of days at the most and both should point to the correct address.

Thanks for the explanation - however, that was a moronic joke related to something I posted earlier today. Apparently chabib frowns upon those of us who aren't net geeks.

gates is the worst. he thinks AIDS is actually a virus and not a series of symptoms folded into some loose representation of a syndrome. he'd do way more for africa if he invested all of the money he invested in pharmaceuticals for africans in sanitary sewer construction, tuberculosis control and water treatment. i wish he was a geek. sadly, he's just a dork.

haha i posted 20 threads in a row on the old board saying:
"Trahser02
is
the
coolest
kid
on
the
entire
sonic
youth
board
hahaha
in
yr
faces
bitches!
i
fucked
yr
mom"

i print screened it but the file is too big too put it on imageshack.

Gates doesn't even qualify for the title of dork. I think he's a just quiet megalomaniac.

Yet another reason "Microserfs" is such a good read.

Does any one know who had the last post on the old site?

i'll shed a tear. for you my dear. oh how i love you so

SO is everyone okay that the old board is dead, now?

in retrospect the old board kinda died late 04, early 05 with the first departures of the oldest members and the end of the nurse tour, and many from the old board didn't come over at all or stopped posting here after awhile

the deathnail seemed to be when the median age of most frequent posters dropped to those underage

just for fun...

HI!

Are we in the presence or royalty? Could it be... GOLDEN CHILD changed to his old moniker?
