Hi all!

One of my domains is expiring at the start of April, and three fanlistings hosted there will not be transferred over. I would be thrilled if anyone wants to take them on-- just reply here or email me at odile@in-revolution.net

General Questions and Discussion / Wayback Fanlistings

« on: July 08, 2014, 10:37:08 PM »

Hello, everyone and anyone! Blowing dust off my forum account here.

 

I've been thinking a lot lately about the sometimes fleeting nature of fanlistings. I recently picked up a few subjects that I've loved years. For whatever reason, the FLs weren't adopted out before they went under. I always feel so sad about that, it's like a piece of fandom history has been lost.

 

On to the question. Would it be right to try and fix that?

 

If you can find the previous listing's url, it's sometimes possible to look at old members lists via the Wayback Machine. I admit that I've considered adding these people back to the lists they joined. I'm pretty sure I could do this using the same method as uploading an adopted list's old members.

 

But would that be right? Is that stealing from another webmaster, or is it honoring the intent of the people who joined the older FL? How far back would it be OK to go? A year? Five? Ten? (Goodness.)

 

I'd be very interested to know anybody's thoughts on the ethics of this, and whether it has ever been discussed before. Apologies if this is 100% verboten already! I checked the rules and recent(ish) discussions and didn't see anything related, but of course I may have just missed it.

Series / Contradictory Rule?

« on: April 26, 2011, 12:06:07 PM »

I just saw the latest series update, which stated "Approvals do not include recently released titles with less than 4 chapters printed and/or 4 episodes aired." Well and good and logical.

But the series application form says "For newly released series [. . .] no applications  will be processed until at least two weeks have passed since the release." Which also makes sense, but they seem contradictory to me, especially considering that the four ep. rule isn't listed?

I at least was definitely tripped up by that this week!
