Quicksand Fans

Noticed that the recent migration of the forum pruned some of PM2K’s older work. Was wondering if anyone had a backup or archive on hand. It would be a shame if they were lost since their work was genuinely one of a kind.

I have a lot of them, but the site says .zip is not a permitted type.

It's absolutely wild to me that the story section of all places got pruned - did it even add up to a single GB? Plus most of the images posted on QSfans are also up on other sites - the stories not so much. I just don't get it.

It should be permitted in Stories. I put a few .zip files up there a while ago.

I have full site back-ups that ran well beyond 2015, including (separate) database back-ups.

So setting up an archive version of the board is possible. If there are any phpBB gurus out there, contact me.

I would be more committed to this short term, but the active site needs to be moved by March - or I face a $600+ hosting bill (on top of the $600 a year I pay (quarterly) for security serves etc.)

I see. I've now posted them in the Stories section.

I was looking for a story of his called Lover's Point M/F couples that were having intimacy at a secluded beach and they both sank under and it turned it was a sort of assassination attempt from another person.
