Welding Web Down?

[the old grind]

It seems I can still access all my WW photos on Google images.

Enjoy the photos without having to read the text. Sort of like Playboy in reverse.

How??

Google cloud store-yer-own, isn't it?

Playboy has articles? I always knew it had pics of underaged and underfed girls. Yeah, Shel Silverstein did write more than kids books.

A great comic book when Buck Brown and Gahan Wilson were best regulars. I believe that's been a while. (in decades)

No pic is ever safe, or yours for sure if it's only in one place. (got ransomware?)

I learned more about welding on WW in 3 years than 55 years welding on the farm.

I don稚 know anything about the political thread. Was pretty certain I wouldn稚 like it.

There's a political thread here too. I'm not a member.

How??

I typed my username and welding web into the Google search bar and clicked on images.

Playboy has text?

Ouch. First time in 20 years my intentional 'Waldo, lost in the crowd' screen name that I chose in order to be anonymous here, and also on WW, has bit me. (That was a decision after a spammer named me as 'reply-to' in a massive flood of spam. I got 10,000 'recipient unknown here' plus a few po'd replies, all quoting what 'I' had sent them. Never again!!!)

The only hits I recognized on Google in hundreds of photos was the photo of bedframe welds I posted here recently, and a discussion when WW went down last time back when they were owned by Penton.

I have the originals of photos I've posted here and on WW but no list of what went where, or as noted, the context.

I copy, crop, and downsize, my images that I post and throw them in a folder on my desktop for possible reuse. Saves on hunting and processing again.

Similar, I append 'r' (indicating revised, cropped, downsized) and a description, to what the camera named the photo, then file it in the thousand-pic folder it came from. Those are easy to search for, and the long filenames somewhat document what's in a folder.

IT'S BAAAAACK!!!

Deleting a database is never a good thing. :laughing:

If the new owner isn't in the business of running forums, we could buy it from them and run it. I can reach out to Endeavor and see what they say.

 

[Mark @ Everlast]

It's down again. Or at least I can't get on. Saying site down.

Muhammad, as far as it goes, this is a good idea. I know penton offered it to Everlast at one time. Price seemed a little steep since income was dropping on it rapidly. It was poorly run though. A lot of good and valuable information, but it is also a place for insecure bullies to set up their soapboxes...which included some moderators. Little policing of the forum policies, and when they were, they were selectively and inconsistently applied.
