spritechanJust had a hit to my heart AGAIN after trying to see if there's ANY WAY to access my old GreatestJournal entries. Wayback machine was useless, but OldWeb was able to retrieve 3 of my "most recent" entries pages - one set of 20 entries from early 2005, one set from late 2005/early 2006, and one from 2007 (probably the last ACTUAL most recent page). So, I actually did manage to save about 40 entries. Piddly for how much I wrote, especially back then, but my 2005 is a COMPLETE BLANK here on LJ, followed closely by 2006, which has like 2 and a half months' worth of entries here.
Shame, too, 2005 was the last year I attended high school, when I went to Cancun and Spain. I remember it being a good year. Wish I had the details.
SIGHHHHHH
I screengrabbed all the entries I could. I was able to click between my userinfo and the recent entries page, and for some reason, going from my userinfo to my recent entries at random points in time allowed me to access those 2005/2006 entries, because of whenever the userinfo was archived in relation to the entries or something -
Haaahaha @ "My List" OH rlY??? DO YOU HATE ~MURDERERS~?!?! XDDD God. Sooo funny.
Also - LOVE BSpears, LOVE JT... Talking online? Really?
I'm happy to have gotten at least a few entries (and I'm going to backdate and insert them tonight), but I REALLY wish there was a better way.
In googling, some people said GJ reported it was shutting down on Jan 31st of '09. I legitimately do not recall seeing that information, because I would never have fucked around with that deadline. I wonder if being logged in made it so I didn't see the home page? Maybe I had it bookmarked to take me somewhere else?
Either way, one of the most painful losses of my life because I HOARD MEMORIES LIKE SMAUG HOARDS TREASURE.
