Is the old board archived, or did all of those threads get deleted?

Not exactly to Admin: When did Deenie the Dreaded Single Adult pass away? Before the new board? It would be nice to see some of her and FlattopSF/xyz posts again if it's ever possible. I suppose it would be incredibly time-intensive to find them if they do exist. Baura's This Day in Mormon History was also a wonderful years-long series.

Humbly,
Beth

Yes, if only we had known....

I understand if some posters want to leave all this Mormon junk behind, and leave RFM, and move on. That's a healthy thing to do. If we had known, we could have archived Baura's "This Day in Mormon History", to re-submit on the days that apply.

Does anyone know how to access Blair Watson's posts? Didn't he have his own website for a while? I saved a few of those, that have been very helpful in dealing with the emotional trauma that Mormonism causes.

Flattop SF--I might have a few of his posts in my archives....


I was wondering....it isn't against any rules to re-post some of these writings, is it? I assume when they put it out there, they know it falls into the hands of the public, right?

Everything we write belongs to the board. I don't think DMCA takedown notices were such a big deal yet. IIRC, we couldn't link to anything at LDS dot org. I don't know if that's changed.

I don't think anything we write here belongs to us.

I used to post stuff on Creative Commons, but that was forever ago.

I have just topped my recent thread mentioning Blair Watson and his helpful site, found here:

http://www.blairwatsontribute.net/Psychological/Effects_of_Mormonism.html

I have read many posts through the years from people who have been helped by Blair's information.

To exminion: You mentioned here ""This Day in Mormon History"

Is this the same page?

http://www.todayinmormonhistory.com/

I've had this on my list of blogs to watch for a very long time.

I wonder how much GDPR affects RfM in regards to how long it can keep archives. Clear-cutting archives seems a waste if that’s all it’s for. I kind of like there being a cyber journal of my crazy mindfuck journey. But I suppose as with everything else, there’s a budget. If you want more, there’s the checkbook.

Deenie passed away before the new board came into being. Some of her stories are in the archives, but sadly, many were lost.

Deenie brought a unique - and often hilarious - perspective to the exmo experience. I still miss her.

I'll look into it.

Also, how about a memorial page for our deceased members ...

My personal opinion is that this is a superb idea!

I am (personally) very much in favor.
