Episode reviews for the second season Options

[Shiidou Hikaru]

I think you should ban ^ guy

?? Not sure what you mean Amber-chan. ;;

Casey-san did an excellent job summarizing and critiquing all of the MKR episodes and gave us a great resource to have here on the site. I'm not sure if anything this thorough can be found anywhere on the net. It gets a sticky which I should have done a loong time ago.

Thank you so much Casey-san! *hugs*

Thanks a lot. I'm glad I could help the site since I've always liked the place.

>_> The original review topic for Season 1 was saved by Archive.org... http://web.archive.org/web/20050429144841/...topicID=2.topic They're kind of short, the review for Episode 4 is three lines.

Wow, but still a nice find Casey-san! I'd thought that the Ezpocalypse of 2005 had ruined that forever. I'll have to copy and paste all of that thread over here when it's not so late at night. ;;

XD Awesome. I look foward to it.

Archive.org did a surprisingly nice job of preserving the Ezboard... I'm going to go through the forums and see how much was saved.

Introductions: Very little was saved on Page 2, sadly... just frozen skeleton's intro and your own. Page 1 is almost completely intact, however; the only threads which don't work are kaiti kaiba's and GigiRoswell's. Percentage of topics retained: 70%.

Magic Knight Rayearth: Simply put... everything's saved. :) Percentage of topics retained: 100%.

Clamp Anime and Manga: Every topic is saved except for the one you made about Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. Percentage of topics retained: 93%.

Fanart and Fanfiction: - Every topic on the first page is saved except for "Tanominotsuna", but none of the topics on page 2 or 3 are archived. Percentage of topics retained: 39%. -_-

Just Anime: On Page 1, every topic except the one about Tokyopop is saved. On page 2, seven topics are saved though there's no real pattern as to when or why. On page 3, nothing is saved. Percentage of topics retained: 45%.

I'll skip General Chit-Chat and Mokona's Playground for now.

Forum Feedback: *sigh* Percentage of topics retained: 0%.

Custom Title Requests: There's only one thread, but it's still there. Percentage of topics retained: 100%.

Avatar Gallery: Access has been blocked. N/A.

Post Your Site: On Page 1, every thread except for "Shinobia of Konoha" is preserved. On Page 2, only the bottom thread is left. Percentage of topics retained: 52%. Good enough for a spam forum.

The Archives - Every thread is okay except for Docs-san's "^.^ hello!" thread. Quite fortunate since it's meant to be the place for old memories. Percentage of topics retained: 96%.

General Role-Play: Very small forum, but nothing's missing. Percentage of topics retained: 100%.

Magic Knight Rayearth Roleplay: Every thread is accounted for, but tragically enough, this is the first time where a topic hasn't been preserved in full; pages 4-7 of the Tokyo thread are gone. Percentage of topics retained: 100%. Percentage of pages retained: 79%.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Page 2 of "The Tomoeda Business District" is missing. Nothing else is. Percentage of topics retained: 100%. Percentage of pages retained: 93%.

Sailor Moon: The Tokyo thread fared poorly. Unsurprising given its length, but it's still really sad since it was such a long and involved thread. Pages 1-3, 10, and 16-19 are intact. Percentage of topics retained: 100%. Percentage of pages retained: 58%.

Rayearth Manga: One thread. Didn't make it. Percentage of topics retained: 0%.

First Season: No problems here. Percentage of topics retained: 100%.

Second Season: Two topics, both perfectly fine. Percentage of topics retained: 100%.

Rayearth OAV's: Every page and topic is there. Percentage of topics retained: 100%.

Characters (Combined since the forums are so numerous): Umi's thread is in shambles (only the top thread works) and the threads for Ferio along with Tarta and Tatra are defunct. Everything else is okay. Percentage of topics retained: 75%.

Now to take on the two mega forums.

General Chit-Chat: One thread on Page 5 works (Can anyone help me?). Nothing on Page 4 survived. (This is getting depressing...) On Page 3, nothing was saved. Page 2 has about 7.5 threads saved, yuzuki's LJ unfortunately not being among these. Every thread on the first page was saved except for "New Forum Layout?", but not every page. In the Member Pictures topic, pages 1-3 as well as 9 are saved. In your LJ only the first three pages are left. I didn't check the "Test" topic beyond the first page. Percentage of topics retained = 32%. Percentage of pages retained = somewhere around 10%. Damn it... thanks for doing such a shitty job on our main board, Archive.org.

The Mokono's Playground threads are really long and I've run out of time, so I'll have to put that off for now. Add all of that up and the percentage of posts that was saved for the entire forum (sans the Playground) comes out to around seventy percent. Not sure if that's really a good thing or not... it's definitely not as good as if EzBoard was competent and allowed us to retain everything, but there's a fair amount preserved there.

The posts of the first season reviews, I've manually copied over and posted in the first season forum section. There isn't anything after episode 7, so if you still have any of that in your compy Casey-san, please post it again for us ... or better yet ... you now have an excuse to watch MKR season 1 again! ^__^

There certainly is a ton of the old stuff saved over there on that archive site and it did bring back a lot of old memories for me. However, staying there very long reminded me of how badly Ezboard treated us and me personally, and after almost two years later I can still feel some of the bitterness over what happened back then. As much as I try to keep a positive outlook on life in general, episodes like the Ez-pocalypse try to fuel me with more cynicism which is something that I constantly need to keep a handle on. @_@

I'll post a link to the webarchive forum index in our Archives forum section so that other people can visit if they want to. As you noted, nothing from the henheart domain will load there, but that is because bot scripts are disabled. That was something I had done to combat the spambotters that were attacking us not too long ago.
