I don't know if John H's original file is anywhere else, but I've been working on reconstructing it. IIRC, it was just a collection of posts gathered from the original discussion (which was in the WX BuffyBackstory thread)., mostly David describing the neighborhoods. I did find the discussion in the archived thread, so it's not lost.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Phew. I was looking for it and was afraid it'd disappeared into the ether along with my reports of the first Chicago F2F which got swallowed by WX.

The one good thing to come out of the disappearance of the original F2F thread was that we discovered we had to change the default settings for thread retention.

Oh, good, I'm glad it's not lost.

Hey, is there any way to search the thread for all of the posts by a particular poster. If, say, you knew that they'd linked to something, but you can't find it, and since you can't find their name, you can't find their email . . .
I guess that I could threadsuck and do a word search. hmm.

Right now, threadsucking's the only way.

yup, I've resigned myself to it. It's not that bad, and it's fun to read the old posts :)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I assume someone ran a query to delete all the extra threads?
The only unusual thing about my thread creation was that I\'m going through a proxy server because my employer blocks b.org. However, I have been posting successfully with no problems (i.e. my posts haven\'t been repeated a bazillion times), so I don\'t see why my creating a new thread would be any different.
t edit I\'ve got to leave my \'puter for awhile, so I won\'t be able to answer any questions about this for a few hours.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I nuked them. I have no idea what could make that happen--the query retry itself more than 100 times.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does the webserver see Jon's post > 100 times? Or just the one, which then got run > 100 times on the database server?
