There's 0.0 historically significant things on this board. None. Zero. Everything should be deleted after a month! The fact that you care enough to go look at your old posts and care so much about them tells me everything I need to know about you. Imagine giving a fuck that your posts are no longer on a message board.BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 2:12 pm Nah that’s bullshit. Threads at Hoffman go back twenty fucking years. And KISSFAG almost that long as well. There’s no good reason to dump them, a bunch of that stuff is historically important. You always had the CEO post and sticky a thread about how cool it was looking on Archive.org at the old main page, why can’t we do the same on the board? Sadly Archive typically doesn’t work on forums.
He could print them out like people used to do with Mapquest. Put them up on the refrigerator or store them in a safe deposit box. Tell his kids and grandkids about that one time a post had over 500 replies. Life highlights! It all goes downhill once it disappears from the Gossip Board.LitaStrauss wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 2:20 pmThere's 0.0 historically significant things on this board. None. Zero.

Who thinks, "I wonder what was written on the Gossip Board when Dio died 15 years ago?" I always knew fans of this genre lived in the past and had difficulty moving on, and you're living proof. It's 2025, who gives a shit what GlitterDoll469 wrote about Dio dying in 2010.BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 3:53 pm I was going to save the photos and post them on another board because someone asked me to, if you want to know.
Contemporary album and concert reviews, Great White tragedy as it unfolded in real time, Dio death, EVH death, funny shit about Wolfgang, shits and giggles about stupid shit … all that stuff is gone because of a setting on the board.
Or, like I said before - it probably isn’t, it’s just set to not display and we just can’t see it.

Here's an idea. Start your own forum. Start your own board. Keep posts for 30 years! Have a ball.
