Is it possible to dig up a 15 year old thread on the old board?

I tried to log in. It says my password is wrong but I know it's correct. Maybe they dumped everyone and started over.

Yep. I tried to log in to look in the private forums, no dice.

FartCannonRex, Forrest, Stinkin Lincoln. What other SN did he have?

[Sean88gt]

His last name over there was Cooter.

Had to reset my pw as well.

I remember chatting with him through PMs about that thread. I was relating it to losing my brother several years prior. Lots of deep thoughts in there and I certainly felt his pain.

Has anyone checked on Brittani lately? I just had a dream about that weekend last week.

Yeah mine didn't work either. I reset it though. Their captcha is even an ad.

Many of the corporate owned boards were hacked, so the admins reset all the passwords, and sent a temp password to your email on file. In my case I no longer have access to that email account, so I can't log on over there ever again.

There was a supposed breach on several vbulletin sites awhile ago and an e-mail was sent stating passwords would not work after a specific date and they needed to be changed.

She actually commented on the post that Chris is referring to on FB.

Yeah, same for me. I emailed them a while back asking for options and they seemed like they would help but then I never followed up with info they requested.

Cool. I'm not friends with her or Molly on facebook, so I didn't see it.

Ah, didn't think about that. I'm friends with Molly on there but not Brittani.

Maybe Jose backed up the old server before Trudeau got a hold of it..

Ya I never had that access (fuck Chris Douglas!!) and depending on how long ago that thread was, it might have been lost on one of the times the board crashed. I'm pretty sure on one of those occasions everything was lost.

They just reset my password for me (actually they first updated my email address on file). Just took a quick email with my username and a couple of 'possible' email addresses that it was under.

Here's the details from the thread posted above, excuse the crappy formatting, I just copied and pasted from the 'mobile' view:

Edit: Let me try something else, that was terribly difficult to read due to format.

Here, these are Forrests posts, lets see if this is cleaner:
Edit - Theyr are out of order.. Man that forum is difficult to use now. Edit again - This was from 3/15/2002

I appreciate it very much... but I'll probably just do it alone and be that crazy dude laying under the car crying and talking to someone who isn't there...

my brother was a great person... I just wanted everyone to know that...

I'm going to sleep now...

Forrest

man... thanks again to all of you... I got some more information from my father about the whole thing... when I got to my brother's room, he was laying on his back, but my dad said when he found him, he was kneeling on his bed...

when I got to the room, my dad had laid him on his back... I thought that's how he died... I was affraid that he had struggled and that his soul was still tourmented... but learning that he was kneeling forward... I now fully believe that he was at peace when he passed...

I think he held on as long as he did because he loved us more than he loved himself... but now I feel that it was simply his time to go... and who are we to decide when we are supposed to go? yes, I wish he were here, and I will always miss him, but that is my struggle... and it is made easier with the knowledge that his struggle is over...

he has given us so many gifts, and we continue to receive gifts from him even with him gone...

it still hurts... but I just wanted to let everyone know that the sky is clearing and though there is sadness, there is more peace in our hearts...

I am planning on getting his Fairmont "finished"... doing some of the minor stuff that we just kept putting off to a day that never came... and keeping it around for a while... he was so full of joy when we got that car for him, and though it was stressfull at times, he and I really worked well together to get it built for him... it was a gift I gave to him that actually brought him some joy in the midst of so much pain, and I want to be able to re-live that joy for a while...

thanks again to EVERYONE for your support... it brings tears to my eyes to know that you care, and the warmth you have shown will be repaid to you many times over... it's just karma... and if I can be instrumental in paying some of that back, I will be happy to... but it's coming to you one way or the other.

much love,

Forrest

Carrie,

I have a little gift for you to go with the silver car... it's a very small "token" type thing, but it matches that car, and I thought of you and Bryan when I got it.

I'd like to give it to you in person, but perhaps you could email me your address, and I'll just send it out to you. I don't know when I'll be able to make it out there... it's not a time sensitive thing, but I would like you to have it.

thanks again for everything... it helped a lot.

take care,

Forrest

Shane,

close... it's sweetaction@rocketmail.com

Grant,

I'm sorry to hear about your loss... we should get together sometime and drink a few beers and compare notes and swap lies...

thanks again everyone... please don't hesitate to send more emails even if they're blank or very short... I'm printing all of them up and giving them to my father... although he's being the strongest through all this, I know it's hitting him really hard... he was the one who found him, and a father just isn't supposed to lose a son...

tip a brew for my brother... or think of him next time you powershift your way through 4th gear... he wasn't a total gear-head, but he did enjoy fast cars... I still remember the day we towed home his fairmont... he was so excited... I'm glad he and I got to build it last summer... I don't know what I'm going to do with it... probably fix a couple little things on it and just drive it for a while...

oh well, I'll shut up now...

thanks again,

Forrest

From 4/14/2002:

one of my brother's good friends from back in the day just came by...

I was hearing noises outside and then inside the house, and I thought I heard my dad coming up the stairs, so I went out on the landing to see what was up, and here's this kid standing there...

he's been drinking a little (not stumbling/fumbling or anything) and at first I'm kinda pissed that he "broke in" (we left the back door unlocked)

he was looking for my sister... said he saw her light on and wanted to talk with her... he was really sad about my brother dying and wanted to talk with someone about it...

and also, he's beeing shipped overseas (he's in the marines) in 17 days... I could tell he's scared about it (though he didn't say it)

we talked for a little... he said the first group of guys they sent over to where he's going lost 7 out of 70, and I said well, hopefully each following group will learn from the previous and the numbers will go down...

he didn't voulenteer this info, I asked him... he wasn't being a puss about it or anything...

he wanted to talk with my sister, and at first I was telling him when would be a better time to come by (she's been sleeping downstairs on the couch since my brother died... their rooms are right next to eachother), but then when he was talking about going overseas, I was like "who am I to decide if now is a good time for him to talk with my sister... this poor kid may never come home to see the people he loves... he's been drinking a little, he's sad, he's scared..."

so I woke my sister up and told her he was here and wanted to talk and stuff, and they've been sitting on the couch talking for a while now...

man, this world can really be a drag sometimes...

hug the ones you love,

Forrest
