Sorry to drag up an old thread. FWIS has been up and running but due to various reasons we lost the site a few times and much of the data with it. So for a while the only people that could find it were those that would check in daily. Ikyoto, the site Admin was diagnosed with a brain tumor and operated on. This left him in a wheel chair for a long time and he also had to relearn a lot of things. The brain however is capable of relearning and restructuring so he is doing a lot better than shortly after the surgery. This was just one of the reasons for the site's sporadic nature.
The other day I tried to see if the wayback machine had a snapshot of at least some of the old FWIS, it has but, alas all it had was the body and the first page of the forums. No posts. I did find references to past members so started a list of the names of people we lost touch with. One of our members asked about a "Dragon..." I believed this to be Dragon Star and I wondered if Illuminati r us is still around and if he is there. Hence me finding this site.
For those who might not have known, we lost four members in the last few years.
In order of passing
Maksutov
Mike Alexander
Russ
CID
I've been trying to get Mike Alexander's posts on XOF (satire of FOX news) recovered as his wife joined the group prior his passing and is still a member there but had not read his earlier work. It appears however that they are lost for all time. Hence the attempt at the wayback machine.
In any case, for those that we couldn't contact when the site went down multiple times the current address is:
www.FWIS3.comAt this point it will probably stay that way till Iky can no longer run the place or moves on to the ether.
Hope everyone is doing well here.
