H.P. Lovecraft and Farscape Forum Archives

H.P. Lovecraft fans know to visit the H.P Lovecraft Forum to see the latest news and discussions concerning Lovecraft's writings and things they inspire.

But the H.P. Lovecraft Forum once dwelt on a different domain and it was hosted through different software. We have carefully preserved the old discussions at SF-Fandom and I thought fans would be interested to know they are still around. Here is a brief summary of the archives for the original H.P. Lovecraft Forum.

H.P. Lovecraft Forum Archive

Well, that wasn't very extensive, was it? To be honest, we moved the forums to new software soon after creating that forum, so it didn't have much discussion in the old days.

Another forum we founded was the original fan-run Farscape Forum. Originally hosted on Xenite.Org, we moved the forum to SF-Fandom. The Farscape Forum has now been folded into our Science Fiction Television Forum but the original Farscape archive still exists as a separate section. I invite you to browse it.

You really cannot tell from the archive pages how the original forums looked. That is because I have long since reformatted them. The original forums used a Perl script from Matt's Script Archive. So far as I know, he wrote the original Web forum software that was used by thousands of Web sites like Xenite.Org for years before more sophisticated applications like Ultimate Bulletin Board, VBulletin, and others came along. It's rare to still find an active forum using the old MSA script or any derivation of it.

I used to have to manually archive the posts when any message board got up to around 200 messages because otherwise the file became corrupted. Now forums run off of SQL databases (and corruptions are more rare).
