We could use archive.org as a webspace. It would relieve this space here and more users could find the files.
I will start doing this in future posts and only link to the files i will upload on archive.org.

And please guys don´t delete something because it has few views. No book banning here please :-)

when the site first went back up all the google search results were disconnected/disable somehow but i just tested
"site: oldschooldaw.com win98se" and it works now...

guys my brain hurts i learned too much shit and i smoked way too much marijuana the last year .. i dunno if i have to go back to being straight edge to get my brain back into the efforts here.... my head is jam packed full of way too much information and i feel like im a winXP computer that has 5% free space left.. and is just not the same as it was on first install ;) im trying to get back into things... i need to get back into being healthy + detox + go sober again or something.. or maybe its the lack of good coffee ;)

definately need some new look / color scheme

Thanks for the help btw

only problem with that is that things take time, everything takes time, and we only have so much of that

Hey Chris.

Once again, awesome job you've done here on your own.

As much as I'd hate to see oldschooldaw vanishing again, use your time wisely: these are just babbling about long gone electronics for a couple of old timers contributors after all. What are the traffic stats anyways?

I'm sure we're just a bunch of grumpy middle aged men here.  ;D

Yet, this does not have to a be a one man show.

I don't how the vogons.com community is running their forum, but it could be food for thought for oldschooldaw, albeit the "problematic" abandonned content that's posted here.

I'd be sure okay to contribute.

Take care.

im having problems with goDaddy the host of the site - they billed me 325$ for the next year of hosting which is way too much, and ive asked them to reverse the funds back to me because i never authorized them to put such a  payment thru it was without any warning they charged my debit card without my permission and ive got multiple nsf bank fees because of them... im looking to move to a new host goDaddy has traumatized me far too much in the last few years.

godaddy constantly harasses their own customers to upgrade, + upsell or create an emergency scenario where you will have no choice but to pay $$$ like they did to me last year when they took the site offline and stressed me out to the max, i been a loyal customer since 2014 and im honestly have bad feelings when i even read the name :( because of the stress they put me through

i got refunded the yearly renewal fee of 325$
im going to be moving the site to a new host. im currently reviewing a few different hosts
but its probably going to be bluehost or hostinger or dreamhost
the good news is because of this move the site will finally have SSL support and ill be looking at some cosmetic changes + fixups
