    Yeah Hood, you knave!


I've been rereading some Untold Tales this weekend (or reading them for the first time in some cases) and I've just found a scene where Mumphrey, the Hood, and the Parody Master are all in the same room fulminating at each other.

    I read that a while ago, it is a good review. I wonder if he has read your next book in the series yet? I really need to make some time to go and ensure I've given you ratings on Amazon, for what it's worth.


I met the chap for the first time at FantasyCon last October and personally put a copy of it in his hands.

As for Amazon ratings, they are remarkably effective in promoting sales. No wonder some people go to such lengths to cheat with them.

      At some point there are a few more "guided tour" links pages I'd like to have on file.

    Sounds good to me! In my searching the back issues box I was enjoying re-reading Hatman's Abandoned Legion stuff recently. There is so much content out there it surprises me. I recently discovered there were 22 chapters of Al B. Harper! Just how that occurred - I know not.


It shocks me too.

I've also discovered a few things missing that I thought I had, but which turn out to have just been links to now-lost pages of the PV Board. One particular loss I should encourage Vizh to correct is "Sir Mix-a-Lot", an important tie-in link to the Quest for Naari fairyland stuff.

I seem to have missed a few stories that people posted in reply threads rather than as new ones.

    Possibly only on those folks hard-drives now, if at all. There's some Messenger stuff in the archives here, but I've noticed that even though the posts (titles) here are archived back to 2004 a lot of the content isn't - clicking the posts just leads to a 404 error page. The actual archives seem to stop at 2008. I found some links to an Al B./KS EEE! story line I'd forgotten about, a Dancer story, a collaboration between Visionary, Al B. and Dancer titled "Welcome Home" which I have no memory of at all. Pity I couldn't read the content.

    It may all be stored on your site yet - I haven't checked.


I've done some fix-up work on my site recently for the first time in seven or with years. That's included weeding out and replacing pages that had been infiltrated by spambots, altering hard links to pages hosted on my former webhost service chillwater.plus.net to my current one at chillwater.org.uk (there might still be a few rogue ones left), identifying and gradually fixing pages that are garbled now because they included hard-link format callbacks to previous versions of the PVB site etc.

One significant loss is the linkage of archived pages on my site to reply messages on the PVB. All of the oder links, main and reply, are no longer active on the PVB (they apparently weren't reloaded after a server move), but a change in board coding means that even where those reply pages still exist, the original archived page links no longer reach them. I keep meaning to ask Jason and those posters with HTML-fu to walk me through how and what to globally edit to update those links so thet work again.

    Hmm, it may have been. it was a few days ago and memory is sketchy. I thought it had a yellowish background, was more database like in style, and wasn't at the chillwater site but another place. Perhaps I was confused or maybe I stumbled across the rare Shoggoth website which only appears once every Millennium?


Perhaps you need to ask the Shoggoth himself? He may not be following this thread.
