This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive. ~

In the early 80's the US Navy had one of the most advanced and ingenious ways to test for leaks and stop terrorism at military installations. They not only disbanded it because it was making too many base commanders look like morons, but they also found a bull**** reason to incarcerate its founder.
As the commander of Red Cell, he purchased $10k worth of grenades through a fraudulent naval order, proving the security deficiency of the contractor. Rather than saying "thanks for the tip" they charged him with fraud and locked him up.
