Rivals FGF Threads
- Thread starter atl-cock
- Start date
He's the man to answer that question but I haven't seen any indication they are thinking that way. I believe a fresh start is best anyway. When you build a new house, you buy new furniture.
True, but I would like to leave the old stuff in a storage bin for a short period of time to see what I might end up needing.
This is my new temporary avatar. It's taken on US 21 on Harbor Island looking north towards the new bridge over the Harbor River, which opened in April 2021. The views of St. Helena Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, and Edisto Beach (11km across the sound) from atop the bridge are outstanding.
One more draw bridge in SC is now retired. Now only one left in Beaufort County - The Woods Bridge connecting downtown Beaufort with Lady's Island.
There are Python libraries that can be used to write a screen scraper script, tailored for parsing all the posts in a forum thread or threads and saving them to XML or JSON data files. I've come across several written specifically for vBulletin based forums, but not a single one specifically for Rivals (or even 247sports) forums. I would think it wouldn't take too much work to adapt a vBulletin export script to Rivals, given most boards implement threads the same way. The problem is, I don't know how much longer the Rivals.com board will stay up (if at all) past Feb 1. Less than a week is just not enough time for me to tinker with it while working all this week.
Yeah, you won't. I'm trying to resize the my old avatar to fit. And that's what's currently showing.
BONUS. This new site allows us to attach files directly to a message. Now you should be able to see the photo, attached to the message.

They will move to the cloud and a hot air balloon with digital tracking on board will be required to reach them
Need to find a way to save the infamous "Irish Traveller" thread. That may have been the best ever.
How about the "beet" thread? Or better yet the drunk, violent midget thread... classic.
One thing that has migrated over: the "He of a Thousand Usernames" Troll.
Looks like he's started over at the beginning here.

I can't even keep track of which trolls had which names.
Unless you mean king ward.
NEVER King Ward! He is a treasure.I can't even keep track of which trolls had which names.

But I will say I haven't seen Sarah over here -- yet.
Holy mother of God! You mean we can actually post a picture from our phone here without using a stupid image hosting site? Will wonders ever cease? It's been my biggest criticism of rivals for the last 20 years. Here's the sun rising over the Atlantic from Windy Hill on New Year's Day to commemorate such a new beginning. Lol.... Looks like I'll have to resize it!

So basically, we just upload from our device, we don't need an irl anymore for avatar or files?
I uploaded my avatar on both the old and new sites. In addition, the new site allows me to upload a file to attach to an individual message.
This photo was taken last spring, about a month or so after the new Harbor Island Bridge opened. The old span has since been removed.
You've touched on something. I wish the avatar field could be a little larger.
Another drawback is creating an entire new ignore list. Those guys may try to reinvent themselves
It's a certainty. You won't know who they are until one or another of them ambushes you.
No bigger truth was ever spoken. If you build it they will come, unfortunately.

And the "Fat Harvey Is Dead" thread from the old Locker Room. That thread was a classic and the sad part about it was the things mentioned in the posts were true.
Even though it's an amicable divorce, Shoe didn't get custody of the Rivals articles. Perhaps the threads can be relocated to archives, but doubtful.
Only a few deserve preservation, and we have pretty much mentioned all of those.
I would view those with decidedly less enthusiasm.King, we should definitely preserve some of rollerdude threads
Hwy 9 - LittleRiver over to CherryGrove still operates.
No need to waste bandwidth on duplicates of threads that didnāt need to start in the first place
As does the Wappoo Creek bridge connecting James Island and West Ashley, and US 17 connecting West Ashley with the peninsula.
Any others left in the state?
Maybe your furniture was pretty good. You wouldn't have moved shabby or dated furniture in there, I'm sure. Most people opt for new furniture. Most people need it.
Looks like the date on the pic is Dec 30th?Holy mother of God! You mean we can actually post a picture from our phone here without using a stupid image hosting site? Will wonders ever cease?

I was about to ask you the same thing.
I forgot to hit reply to a post so it kinda hangs there. Tried to delete but only option I could find was edit. I've deleted several posts after posting that I thought better of within 10 seconds. So we can't delete posts anymore? Also want to get rid of the purple default avatar.I was about to ask you the same thing.
The avatar is easy. You can import from your desktop. Go to Settings and use the upload field.
I saw another On3 site the other day that seemed to have threads going back nearly 20 years. They must have had a merge of some sort.
At least he didn't crash game threads telling everyone to get vaccinated.King, we should definitely preserve some of rollerdude threads
