For some reason on the YTOTW archives if you try to skip to different chapters in the scroll bar it doesnt work after the first time, just comes up with a page cannot be found error. the only way to navigate the comics is to use the calendar thing. Does this mean that YTOTW is slowly dissapearing as it's time on keenspace runs out? Or am i just unecessarily panicking?

I guess as long as Yahtzee's still got everything on his own harddisk, it shouldn't be that difficult to recover it, even if Keenspace shuts it down. I guess I should quickly save them all too now, because that was some of the funniest stuff I've ever come across. Plus, it had a giant penguin in it.

This assumes he's got the files from a four year-old comic he made on the other side of the planet, that he doesn't really like any more...

Dang. I am spoiled, spoiled I say, by forums that let you easily edit your posts. Excuse my double post; I suppose it's standard fare to annoy people with a few self-centered first posts anyway.

So, yeah, I've made a full archive of yahtzee.keenspace.com now.

I'm not sure the site is dying, though. The drop-down doesn't work simply because it directly references a cgi script elsewhere on keenspace that no longer exists, functionality that was presumably moved to somewhere else -- all the comics are still there. The links to the week summary pages in the calendar are ominously broken, however...

It's a conspiracy, I tell you. Thanks for creating that archive, you've saved me a little bit of work there.

Editing only works for half an hour or so. Long story. As for the week button, I think that only worked for keenspace members or somesuch.

Wow! That's one of the second most helpful early posts I've ever seen.

Hmm... yeah... say, Zazzo, you don't happen to have any experience in dodging long range ballistics, right?

I don't like to talk about my earliest posts. If anyone asks, I was drunk at the time.

Well, I had a piece of chocolate with brandy in it, anyway.
