Snip snip snip

BMEWS ran out of space earlier today. After more than 5 years, and nearly 13,000 posts, we had filled up all of our disk space.

I had to go in and kill some posts, and quite a lot of graphics.

I kept the 1st post, and several of the better early ones, but about 750 of the old posts had to go.

And I got rid of all the graphics files over a certain size, including all the old movie files we had in the backroom. I also deleted the member photos, since none of them had names attached. I’ve got the pics of Barb, Dottie, and Allan on my home PC. The rest, sorry, had to go.

The PC file dates on the graphics files don’t transfer over to the Unix box where BMEWS actually lives. So I had no way of knowing if I was killing new graphics files or old ones. So if you’re going back and looking at some of the older posts, don’t worry if you don’t see the pictures. I killed them.

I also cleaned out the dud membership area again. So no memberships for Hot Sex Lesbian, Belinda XXX, blowjobflyer, or any of the other spammers from .ru, gawab.com, and gmail. Months ago I straightened out the new member registration email, so it’s obvious how to go about activating a membership. So anything older than a month is, ipso facto, spam.

All this trimming still leaves us about 2/3 full, which I hope is enough room to see us through for another year.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
