I have actually saved my own posts for years; in an IRC chat room this is a continuous process performed by a bot (robot) like in a Bulletin Board (which is what the "BB" of "phpBB" stands for, after all.Checklists and Helpful Information
BB logging, while automatic, as people here have found, can be destroyed by DOS and DDOS, and as the server is targeted in that form of attack, once it has happened, it is obviously too late.
I used to log chat room bots to a regular web page and as they are regular text files, they didn't occupy nearly as uch space as the pretty pages those bulletin boards creates. So...
When we were attacked in 2015-16 by the Microsoft browser stealth method, I placed my backups from here online, and you are welcome to look in the directories they are in, you are welcome.
First I created from page 1 of five pages about Gladys' death on my server at www.southaust.net
at the subdomain of www,streetcar.southaust.net
There is a link at the bottom of the page to a "page two" which describes for the world to see exactly how they exploited one of Microsoft's failings.
Behaviour of a bullying church in the 21st Century in Australia
You think this is an exaggeration?
Here we'll look at just their illegal attacks
to shut down all forms of citizens' rights to speak out
Please read it as it shows history. You will notice they also claimed my southaust.net domain was phishing for private information but this was also lies as a check at netcraft.com showed that site was and still is free of all nasties.Check it at the bottom of the front page at www.southaust.net and you will see it is so.
... then I created my repository of what I saved at http://streetcar.eagles-lair.org/2015/ which may be a bit difficult to work your way through. In due course I may find the time to create a links page. This has taken all evenong to do from my sick-bed.
Anyway you are welcome to use them.
Blessings,
