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. ~

"MTV and Real Networks plan to announce a not-so-secret agreement to create a new "digital music initiative" at a press conference scheduled for 11 am EST on Tuesday.
The news slipped out early as the two firms apparently forgot to put journalists under non-disclosure agreements.
While we will have to wait for details to be revealed tomorrow, the announcement will mean that MTV's highly promoted URGE service that was created together with Microsoft is dead.
On the other hand, Real Network's Rhapsody, which allows consumers to listen to music for a flat fee and purchase songs for $0.89, will get more marketing horsepower through MTV."
A flat fee of 89 cents sounds pretty nice.
