Really old reviews

Dec 23, 2010, 3:03 AM

A while back, I was viewing TUSCL through the internet archive at archive.org.

I noticed that many of the reviews from back in the day are gone. Some clubs have closed or been renamed, but others are still around. The website has been revised many times, and I suspect that the reason these reviews are absent has to do with that.

Maybe the format has changed? Or the user who submitted the review needed to resubmit or re-register?

I know that reviews from 6 years ago aren't really that useful, but I would still like to read them. Is there a way to find them? I know that it's possible to look at the reviews of a club which is closed if you know the ID number. Is there something similar for old reviews?

Hmm, it's a good tip. This lets you read reviews for closed clubs. The only way I knew of was if you knew the ID number, or if you had posted your own review of the club, you would still find it under 'my reviews.' This lets you easily search for reviews of those closed clubs.

However, it still doesn't find the missing reviews. For example, if you look here:

web.archive.org

The review which is partially shown is by 'Jeep', from 04/12/2004. But, when you look at the current page on TUSCL, that review is gone. Also, it seems that the oldest reviews on TUSCL are from early 2004, even though this site has been around a lot longer.

On the subject of "old reviews", check out the current reviews of Chix on Dix. There are identical reviews from "DrDoom89" and "Spartanpride". Each of the posters has only one review and just joined TUSCL this month. WTF?

I enjoyed reading the reviews from 2001. They were short and to the point.
