Rambling of a Coder

Blitzcoder won’t rest.

So i stumbled across a thread on Blitzbasic.com the other eve when i was bored and thought I'd look in on the blitz community and see what was happening.

Now, i dunno why but at least twice a year this topic appears in some form to me, either via email or some other method. For either a Blitzcoder revival or me making some archive out of the backup i have, I’m not really sure why.  Yes i remember the blitzcoder years fondly, it was a great laugh at the time and introduced me to some really amazing people, a few of whom i still keep in regular contact with too. But i have absolutely no intentions of going back to those days in any form, And certainly no interest in making some sort of searchable archive of the old site. Yes, i could pass my backups along and someone else could do it. But i won’t. Not because I’m selfish, but because that would require me to actually do some work on the backups to remove stuff, etc, etc. Can’t just pass people’s personal information onto any old person out there, Even though that information is now years out of date.

Actually quite a few people made it perfectly clear that they didn’t want there information passed on when the site died to and became codersworkshop or whatever came after. And i will maintain that promise to not pass on that information.

So please, PLEASE, just stop asking for it. It’s never going to happen, well i wouldn’t say never but I’m never going to-do it. One of the other people who had access to backing up the site may, Though i don’t know if anyone else actually did.
