that’s our thought at this point as well. much of the content is largely useless now, but we’re moving for historical preservation of the mac gui scene.

Okay, time to move on from the old and give us something new – the Mac has moved on, it’s time for you to do the same, unless the intent is to have a site for the Retro-Mac crowd. Please, don’t over-think things. This site evolved into what it was over several years – just start simple again, and build. Asking about the old stuff will just confuse some and slow down the process of bringing this site back to life.
.
Given that, I’m still skeptical. Change the graphic at the top of this page. Tell us who’s on the “team”. Open the curtain. Then I’ll be more likely to believe that you’re earnestly trying to bring this site back.
Wait, let me make sure I understood: Finding a place to “put the old snapshots” is delaying/elongating this process?
.
Fair enough. I just wanted to make sure I got that right. On your way.
Yup defiantly clear out the deadwood and start fresh.

I vote for keeping them in some kind of archives. It doesn’t have to be fancy or well-integrated with the site as such, but as my dad noted once, pictures are often best if they convey the feeling of nostalgia
SpaceCat85
August 19th, 2008 @ 3:06 pm
I vote for: get that section set up & functional so that people can add new snapshots after the site re-opens, then gradually add in the old stuff after the heavy-lifting on the rest of the site is done
Good gawd… forget the freakin’ old stuff already. It almost appears as though the owners are looking for approval from us to delay things further by dangling old content in front of us.
.
Forget the content. Let US worry about filling the site with content. JUST GET THE FREAKIN’ SITE UP AND RUNNING ALREADY!
.
I’m not sure if Brian Wilson is still involved with Unsanity, so maybe that’s why we’ve not seen any progress with ResEx. I would think if Phil Ryu WAS involved, he has long since moved on in favor of actually making money with MacHeist. MyDreamApp imploded because there was really no money involved, so I suspect this site is the same.
.
Whatever the case, some sign of actual ownership of this site would be nice (like changing the graphics, or God forbid actually getting a live site up and running). But until then, I refuse to believe anything at all is happening with ResEx.
i’m with most on here… just get it up and running, the content will come in and then you have all the time you want to sift through and ask about the old stuff.
and how about this, that instead of some strangely informal post thing you post something about, oh i don’t know, who the heck you are, what the heck is happening, you know fill us the heck in on something! if you want ideas you know there are about 4000 posts with suggestions in them already. i can’t see how anything you might ask now hasn’t already been answered or suggested.
you know after having stuck around this long, i thought i had moved past any anger or frustration issues and then along comes these rather asinine posts that accomplish nothing at all but create a rumblings of wonder if someone has just hacked the site and is screwing around with it…and low and behold, that old frustration rises again.
i was once in a punk band called SL*TF*CK and we managed ourselves better than this…
I vote for: Putting an end to this BS. I agree with Decline.

Start it from scratch. If you need any of the old content, you should have it as an archive so anyone can just see the old site as it was. If things become very popular it won’t be hard to transfer it to the new system, whatever that may be…
BuriedCaesar

gallagb – I’ll believe that “things” are “happening” and that there are actual “signs of life” around here when we can see something substantive, rather than more threads.

So far it’s all just been talk. Bluster. Blathering. Idle Chatter. Unverifiable promises. I’m still skeptical that this isn’t some huge chain-yanking by some clever someone who’s figured out how to post new threads.

TO WHOMEVER IS POSTING THESE BLOG “UPDATES”:
HERE’S AN IDEA- instead of saying moronic things such as “see if anyone notices it.” OR “should we keep this old stuff” (we don’t run this site, btw, stop asking us for advice!) INSTEAD, HOW ABOUT YOU SHOW US A screenshot of anything — a page of the new ResEx, the code or whatever, some of the old files, anything! BECAUSE right now, I think maybe ONE PERSON might POSSIBLY believe you.
Or how about showing us a photo of someone actually WORKING on the site? An over-the-shoulder shot of coding? A ransom-style shot of an employee holding a dated newspaper up? lol It’s like getting a photo of Bigfoot.
yeah like doug says, an over the shoulder coding shot with someone holding a paper with the current date on it and come alone, no cops or internet watch groups, and you prove to us the site is ok, and if you harm one zero or one of its nontent…
Great. So much for anything getting done around here. The developer is now most likely dead due to some fubar’d attempt at getting a photo of him actually doing something.
Who needs proof? We have the occasional innocuous blog entry! That should be enough for anyone.

Are you sure that this is ‘current’?

Something anything to let us know that I’m not right about it being some scriptkiddie with the wordpress passwords

Now, “MY own resex site” is a combination of a couple sites that offer desktops and icons.
To believe you, I think I need to see something only the owner of this site / the actual administrators of this site can do: something! Turn your blog into a forum, delete this entire site, add a file, change the blog theme. Anything to know. Although… hackers can get anywhere. I would contact by email to see, but the whois database has their information blocked. Oh well. This site is dead anyways. Like the messiah. Might come back in my lifetime, might not.

I don’t know about that last post, felt like I should say something, but really had nothing to say. My previous post is the result of the lack there of. Of course now I have something to say in that I am explaining my lack of anything to say and the random non-tent it produced. SoooooOOOoo… Yea…. um… BOOT TO THE HEAD!!!

I come here every few months – it’s just asexciting every time. Do you guys really think this place has the potential to reemerge as the best mac modding resources site? If you honestly do, that must mean that you guys have hidden away all the best resources from the rest of us, stubbornly refusing to release them to the rest of the mac universe through any other site than this, that died literally years ago.
If that is not the case, i.e. you are not just plain lazy complainers, release your stuff through other sites and start your own website linking to all the best resources. Because that is really what ResEx did. Few things, if any, were released exclusively there. What ResEx did was to provide easy access to what one would have to visit a hundred sites to find without its service.
So stop complaining and start being constructive and productive instead. If you put as much energy into making a good website with links to the best resources as you’ve without results put into whining about this site’s former glory and present all but inexistence, you’ll have a site up and running within two months. Which is probably less time than will pass before the next post on this site will be up.
Leave this site to die and make a better one yourselves.
Now I’ve filled my visiting quota on this site for the next couple of months. I sincerely hope you’ve found something better to do with your spare time than hanging around here when I stop by next time.

No one… I repeat, *no one* here has any faith, hope or belief that this site is “coming back.” No one here is a *whiner* or *complainer.* That ship has sailed years ago.
Additionally, No one… I repeat, *no one* here has decided NOT to move on to other Mac GUI sites and/or MAKE their own Mac GUI sites. We’ve all gone on to bigger and better things years ago.
The only reason why any of the repeat visitors/posters (Notice I said REPEAT, not NEW) are here is for pure amusement only: We enjoy coming here and seeing just how long these forums can go, and revel in the folly of this site’s existence as an empty shell and monument to the previous owner’s failure. Think of it as an amusing social anomaly.

I bet it was some Windows jerks who bought ResEx, just so us Mac users lose the best Mac custom site ever. Now we’re left with a handful of semi-decent sites.
I don’t even buy the conspiracy theory because it involves effort–and we all know that effort is instantly sucked into a void when anyone comes within 10 miles of this site.

ahahaha, nicely put caesar.
c’mon get on with the real McCoy here. I’m having withdrawal symptoms, I wake up shaking in a cold sweat shouting “RESEXCELLENCE”
ATTENTION: To whomever posted those 3 fake blog entries about “Just checking”, “work work” and “snapshots”. Please do so again sometime soon! We are getting bored and need some new excitement. Please post something new for us.
Thank you.

Ah, but the more important date is 11 months until the 3 year anniversary of the last official post made by an ACTUAL site owner here–Nontent Day: January 8th, 2010! Mark your calendars! Last month’s celebration was fantastic!

It’s the software upgrade to WordPress which caused the error.
Weber

But why upgrade WordPress on a site that hosts nothing but nontent?
MaestroJAL
September 21st, 2009 @ 8:27 pm
The old version probably was what allowed the hackers access. At least this shows that there is some interest here, but probably only ’cause ResEx is stored on the same server as their other more profitable websites.

Ha. If this site ever does come back, I’m sure the explanation for the past three years will be good, or at least, it had better be!
“Well, you see, 3 years ago, it happened like this….”
Up until now, there have been 303 responses to “snapshots”:
No, why would they be worth anything? They are well over two years old.
that’s our thought at this point as well. much of the content is largely useless now, but we’re moving for historical preservation of the mac gui scene.
Definitely keep them. Just stick them in an Archive section. Historically they’re important.
Okay, time to move on from the old and give us something new – the Mac has moved on, it’s time for you to do the same, unless the intent is to have a site for the Retro-Mac crowd. Please, don’t over-think things. This site evolved into what it was over several years – just start simple again, and build. Asking about the old stuff will just confuse some and slow down the process of bringing this site back to life.
.
Given that, I’m still skeptical. Change the graphic at the top of this page. Tell us who’s on the “team”. Open the curtain. Then I’ll be more likely to believe that you’re earnestly trying to bring this site back.
Wait, let me make sure I understood: Finding a place to “put the old snapshots” is delaying/elongating this process?
.
Fair enough. I just wanted to make sure I got that right. On your way.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
Yup defiantly clear out the deadwood and start fresh.
The bright light and sounds of these shallow potholes are still disconcerting as opposed to the dark and familiar silence of out great fissure that reaches nearly to the center of the earth.
I vote for keeping them in some kind of archives. It doesn’t have to be fancy or well-integrated with the site as such, but as my dad noted once, pictures are often best if they convey the feeling of nostalgia
I vote for: get that section set up & functional so that people can add new snapshots after the site re-opens, then gradually add in the old stuff after the heavy-lifting on the rest of the site is done
Good gawd… forget the freakin’ old stuff already. It almost appears as though the owners are looking for approval from us to delay things further by dangling old content in front of us.
.
Forget the content. Let US worry about filling the site with content. JUST GET THE FREAKIN’ SITE UP AND RUNNING ALREADY!
.
I’m not sure if Brian Wilson is still involved with Unsanity, so maybe that’s why we’ve not seen any progress with ResEx. I would think if Phil Ryu WAS involved, he has long since moved on in favor of actually making money with MacHeist. MyDreamApp imploded because there was really no money involved, so I suspect this site is the same.
.
Whatever the case, some sign of actual ownership of this site would be nice (like changing the graphics, or God forbid actually getting a live site up and running). But until then, I refuse to believe anything at all is happening with ResEx.
i’m with most on here… just get it up and running, the content will come in and then you have all the time you want to sift through and ask about the old stuff.
and how about this, that instead of some strangely informal post thing you post something about, oh i don’t know, who the heck you are, what the heck is happening, you know fill us the heck in on something! if you want ideas you know there are about 4000 posts with suggestions in them already. i can’t see how anything you might ask now hasn’t already been answered or suggested.
you know after having stuck around this long, i thought i had moved past any anger or frustration issues and then along comes these rather asinine posts that accomplish nothing at all but create a rumblings of wonder if someone has just hacked the site and is screwing around with it…and low and behold, that old frustration rises again.
i was once in a punk band called SL*TF*CK and we managed ourselves better than this…
I vote for: Putting an end to this BS. I agree with Decline.
As I’ve said before, I’ll only believe something is really happening if there is some fundamental change to the layout or graphics (like opening up the curtain)…
I would rather have an empty up and running ResEx than a blog with comments… Make the site. Make forums. Get feedback. Change accordingly.
Indeed. Build the site. Just stay away from that wiki shit from 3 years ago. This time, try to make an effort. lol Wait, did I just say, “make an effort?” Yikes!
To be positive:
I’m looking forward to whatever you put up.
I’m also glad to see signs of life & to hear that things are happening!
Photos of old setups, as stated before, should be a lower priority item. However, thank you for asking your community for their input.
Start it from scratch. If you need any of the old content, you should have it as an archive so anyone can just see the old site as it was. If things become very popular it won’t be hard to transfer it to the new system, whatever that may be…
gallagb – I’ll believe that “things” are “happening” and that there are actual “signs of life” around here when we can see something substantive, rather than more threads.
.
So far it’s all just been talk. Bluster. Blathering. Idle Chatter. Unverifiable promises. I’m still skeptical that this isn’t some huge chain-yanking by some clever someone who’s figured out how to post new threads.
Yes, but for all we know, someone has figured out the password to wordpress. It could be some little punk ass scriptkiddie just messing with our hearts.
TO WHOMEVER IS POSTING THESE BLOG “UPDATES”:
HERE’S AN IDEA- instead of saying moronic things such as “see if anyone notices it.” OR “should we keep this old stuff” (we don’t run this site, btw, stop asking us for advice!) INSTEAD, HOW ABOUT YOU SHOW US A screenshot of anything — a page of the new ResEx, the code or whatever, some of the old files, anything! BECAUSE right now, I think maybe ONE PERSON might POSSIBLY believe you.
urp!

Or how about showing us a photo of someone actually WORKING on the site? An over-the-shoulder shot of coding? A ransom-style shot of an employee holding a dated newspaper up? lol It’s like getting a photo of Bigfoot.
yeah like doug says, an over the shoulder coding shot with someone holding a paper with the current date on it and come alone, no cops or internet watch groups, and you prove to us the site is ok, and if you harm one zero or one of its nontent…
O.O
lol @ decline… “I said NO COPS!”
Great. So much for anything getting done around here. The developer is now most likely dead due to some fubar’d attempt at getting a photo of him actually doing something.
So where is the actual proof that something is happening here?
Who needs proof? We have the occasional innocuous blog entry! That should be enough for anyone.
What would be cool is to get the forum operating. Compiling and organising archives should be an ongoing transparent operation. Forget about that stuff for now, and get resex current.
Current? It IS current. Just not with current stuff.
Are you sure that this is ‘current’? I mean maybe current affairs and what someone had for breakfast is good enough for you, but I’m going to have to agree with Doug, in that, a little bit of code, or a snapshot of the layout. Something anything to let us know that I’m not right about it being some scriptkiddie with the wordpress passwords
@korm: I think Caesar was being sarcastic
Trust me, I think we’d all like something tangible–but bitterness has made us all very wry and whittled away our hope. lol
Spot-on, Doug. Thanks. And I actually prefer rye.

Rye is good… Nontent on Whole Wheat is also tasty, yet less filling. lol
Don’t forget cheese. I love cheese. Can’t have a sandwich (or like it as much) without it.

Isn’t it about time for a new (possibly fake) post? Come on admins. Either be completely pretend real or not at all. =P
anyone know what happened to Michael’s Mac?? http://www.michaelsmac.com/ Hasn’t been updated since June 3rd!!
Oh dear god… nontent has spread to MichaelsMac!
.
It can’t be stopped… it’ll find you! That’s what it does! That’s *ALL* it does!
I think that Michael is having too much of a good time watching us here, and he’s fallen out of his chair and hit his head on the keyboard.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Wow. I admit, I gave up on ResEx, due to the last post I was here for was over 2,000 comments. It’s good to see more blog entries, but where is the actual content? Icons, desktop pictures, etc. Enough with the blog posts and give us our ResEx back, please.
Ahh, it beings me back to simpler times… when “hope” actually applied.
@Zeebe : and IconFactory hasn’t been updated sine June 03…. the nontent disease is sspreading…. it’s even reached my own website… there is NO HOPE.

Looks like it’s getting close to time for another new thread along the lines of “we’re doing something, really” without really having anything to show for it…
So, how ’bout it, Admin? Want to prove to us that you’re actually doing something to this site? Then all you have to do is OPEN THAT CURTAIN! Seems pretty simple, really.
The admin hasn’t checked this site recently, has (s)he?
I think the appropriate pronoun here would be ‘it’.

5 days, no posts… thats no way to dig. lol
Maybe a few snapshots of theming at each OS release. That is all. I mean, some people might not know what kaliedoscope did. So, three or four snapshots might get that point across. That is all. It is not necessary to have 300 images.
this place is dead, ive seen cemeteries with more life.
Wait, did someone just actually respond to the “snapshots” post as if it was actually HAPPENING? lol
.
I think there should be a series of ’snapshots’ of the ResEx staff working on the site… you know, holding newspapers with the date, etc.

The kid got tired of posting “real fake” ResEx blog updates.
resexcellence.net
and resexcellence.org
haven’t been taken yet. One of you guys could buy it and start your own ResEx site.
Well, “our own resex site” was, at one point, “MichaelsMac.com”
.
Now, “MY own resex site” is a combination of a couple sites that offer desktops and icons.
There’s also http://macgui.com
The “kid” being you…?
Oh snap!
Nope.
oh, reverse snap!
To believe you, I think I need to see something only the owner of this site / the actual administrators of this site can do: something! Turn your blog into a forum, delete this entire site, add a file, change the blog theme. Anything to know. Although… hackers can get anywhere. I would contact by email to see, but the whois database has their information blocked. Oh well. This site is dead anyways. Like the messiah. Might come back in my lifetime, might not.
Well I’m not the owner, and I’m not the one posting these blog “updates”. :-/
Huh. You’d think that someone who is “only” an admin would have the contact information of the owner. Guess not.
i hate this newer hole
Give us an even newer hole to dig.
I’m not an admin. See up above how the 2nd comment has a box around it? If I were an admin, then my posts would have that box.
I’m just entering the name as admin, and you have to enter the right email, but it’s pretty obvious…. give it a try if you want.
I thought this whole “we can fake post as an admin” thing was explored eons ago… I feel like I’m in a time machine watching the early days of nontent. *sigh*
hi there
That guy, up there– he’s the impostor…. allegedly….
Notice how that one just above me has no linked name, but the one way up at the top of the page does have his name linked to resexellence.com. Plus he never uses capitals. Poser!!!
Anyone who posts blog “updates” here and/or has a colored box around his post is a stupid n00b.
(Thank you for that sweeping generalization…)
this is the 90th post in the thread
new updates on the way, stay tuned!
new fake news on the way, stay tuned!
Notice how he saw my comment about forgetting to link his name, and so now he has done that. haha
hey guys, it’s almost the 1 year anniversary since the last real blog update here, the one about the new engine. (aka, the world’s deepest digging hole)
And November 1st, 2008 will be the 2-year anniversary of the very first blog post here! Yay! It’s party-time! 2 years!!!
Go ResEx Team!!!!
Happy un-nontent day!
I’m the real admin here! He’s an imposter. *points above*

I don’t know about that last post, felt like I should say something, but really had nothing to say. My previous post is the result of the lack there of. Of course now I have something to say in that I am explaining my lack of anything to say and the random non-tent it produced. SoooooOOOoo… Yea…. um… BOOT TO THE HEAD!!!

Ahhh….. that feals better.
back to p=8…..
There’s nothing more riveting than psuedo-admin one-upsmanship!
.
Reminder: January 8 is National Nontent Day (January 8th, 2007 was the day “new engine” was posted by the actual site owners, and then the site was ultimately left for dead).
.
It’s only a little over 2 short months until the second annual nontent day! Hard to believe!
There is so much to celebrate around here.
Yeah…. Like rogue admins. Joy. You brighten our days with false hope and empty promises. =P
Hey! I’m not the one giving false hope, it’s that ‘ResEx team’ bimbo up there! I’m just a former visitor who happens to participate in digging.
http://www.macgui.com/downloads/
My bad. Rogue ResEx Team. ^_-
Thanks for the help with the hopeless digging though.
Look at this: http://freegroups.net/macos.shtml
Look at how excited they are. What a shame.
Ahh, that’s the wrong URL. But still a good site to visit for Mac downloads. Ok, here’s the one I meant to post: http://www.macshadows.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7079
I think this site needs more admins! More, I say–MORE!
On that site I posted (the forum, not the download site):
c0ld_phuz10n remarks: “Good stuff, I have been a fan of both of those groups work since I started using the Mac. ”
halprin adds: “Ah sweet! I was wondering what happened to the website! ”
Nilkimas contributes: “Great, I loved the site. I hope the new one will become as interesting as the old site. “
ha!
False hope. Gotta love it.
Someone has hope?
Hope? That’s a forbidden word. Speak not of it in this hallowed place!
First comment for November.
Italic
Bold
:lol:
underline meh strike-through??
sdfsdf
no underline.
Heck, yess!! It’sssaaa Mister Green!!!!
Mister Green in the house!!!
See? Even the fake admins have empty promises! (I am referring to the post from Oct 19th from the “ResEx Team” … new updates on the way, stay tuned! )
yeah, right.
c’mon guys, we need posts here every day!
Read my blog post parody at the bottom here: http://resexcellence.com/?p=8
Feel free to write your own. They can be quite funny!
Doing my part to keep the nontent fresh and tasty!
This is so stupid, Its hard to believe so many people are still here rambling about how this is site is dead.
They’re lying about what they believe, but they are also in denial.
Heck, I’ve mostly forgot what ResEx was. I just come hear now for the comedy of what it has become.
Long live the Nontent!!
That’s the admin clone right below Doug’s post. Mine is the one about the blog parody. …. Just so you don’t get us confused or anything.
OMG!!!! :0 November 1st was the TWO-YEAR anniversary of the start of this blog! Hooray, 2 years of EMPTY, USELESS promises about how “great” the “new” ResEx will “be.”
Who cares, what ever is faster (for you to do), just put something up.
anything up
soon
like now
whatever you have
just chuck it up
i don’t care if it’s buggy
i don’t care if it looks like it came out of the wrong end of a very sick… homeless?… chipmunk?
anything as long as it not just this forum
please
You’re not talking to me, are you? I’m not an admin here, I just post with the username.
Actually, January 8th is the 2-year Nontent anniversary. January 8th is the last REAL post made by the last legitimate site owners. It’s the last known development reported to the users of this site before two full years of nothingness. We like to call it “Nontent Day” in the PIT (the thread with the 3000 posts), because it was the beginning of the end!
This is such a stupid web site. Too bad the domain expires in 2013 or whenever it is.
stupid it might be but it’s also somehow compelling… I keep coming back but don’t know why.

It is. It’s two years with this stupid black blog page. They could have installed a forum, or even upload all the old HTML files. They’re still around; _someone_ has them!
But no, we get this stupid Wordpress s****. And ResEx been stupid Wordpress s**** since summer 2006 or so.
It seems to have been eaten by hostmoster!
GRRR I mean hostmonster.
So there is still someone really paying for this pages…
Hostzilla?
No posts for 2 days?! THIS really is non-tent!
Happy Turkey Day!
Come on people. All I want for my birthday is a little more nontent… psych… Maybe some color in these parts, its a little dark and damp down here.
What a desolation…infrequent replies…
It takes too long to climb out of the big hole and get down in to this one, and then back again. lol
OW! I just fell, I think I broke my leg. Sorry for landing on you Doug
Ow!
@weber

LOL… reading *with* comprehension? Huzzah!

Phat Skinny
f i broke the big hole
Our big hole is broken!!! Someone fix it! I would, but I don’t even know what happened.
.
(looks around nervously)
I come here every few months – it’s just asexciting every time. Do you guys really think this place has the potential to reemerge as the best mac modding resources site? If you honestly do, that must mean that you guys have hidden away all the best resources from the rest of us, stubbornly refusing to release them to the rest of the mac universe through any other site than this, that died literally years ago.
If that is not the case, i.e. you are not just plain lazy complainers, release your stuff through other sites and start your own website linking to all the best resources. Because that is really what ResEx did. Few things, if any, were released exclusively there. What ResEx did was to provide easy access to what one would have to visit a hundred sites to find without its service.
So stop complaining and start being constructive and productive instead. If you put as much energy into making a good website with links to the best resources as you’ve without results put into whining about this site’s former glory and present all but inexistence, you’ll have a site up and running within two months. Which is probably less time than will pass before the next post on this site will be up.
Leave this site to die and make a better one yourselves.
Now I’ve filled my visiting quota on this site for the next couple of months. I sincerely hope you’ve found something better to do with your spare time than hanging around here when I stop by next time.
By the way – If you don’t have a small screen, one can still see, *without scrolling*, a post from now OVER a year ago on the front page. If that doesn’t tell you the site is dead, not even a complete loss of all information on the internet will.
Error: please type a comment.
@ Symeon
The Digging has made great progress into the ever deepening realm of nontent and will continue until the hostmonster dictates otherwise. The enlighten Resexcellence has passed and been long ago buried. Long Live the New world Nontent!
It’s amazing how astronomically boneheaded Symeon is. The fact that he *claims* to have read the posts and *still* thinks we’re here complaining and hoping for the site to be resurrected just goes to show how mind-numbingly uninformed he is.
No one… I repeat, *no one* here has any faith, hope or belief that this site is “coming back.” No one here is a *whiner* or *complainer.* That ship has sailed years ago.
Additionally, No one… I repeat, *no one* here has decided NOT to move on to other Mac GUI sites and/or MAKE their own Mac GUI sites. We’ve all gone on to bigger and better things years ago.
The only reason why any of the repeat visitors/posters (Notice I said REPEAT, not NEW) are here is for pure amusement only: We enjoy coming here and seeing just how long these forums can go, and revel in the folly of this site’s existence as an empty shell and monument to the previous owner’s failure. Think of it as an amusing social anomaly.
(As a funny side note, he said, “If you put as much energy into making a good website with links to the best resources as you’ve without results put into whining about this site’s former glory and present all but inexistence, you’ll have a site up and running within two months.”
I spend an average of 15 seconds every 2-3 days coming here and saying hi to people. If that’s all it takes to make a site, well, cheers for Web 2.0!)
So, to recap: The people who come back here and post are not here to whine, complain, hope, or look forward to a new ResEx. We are here for fun, and it takes no effort to do so. Please don’t come in here on your high horse and try to shine some divine light on us about how we should’ve all “moved on.” It just makes you sound elitist, insulting, uninformed, and–quite frankly, like a former developer of this site.
And no, I didn’t add the strikethroughs. That’s this site’s bizarro wordpress wackiness.
@Symeon Did you stop reading the comments posted after 2006?
We basically gave up hope after 2007.
whomever did this strike-through glitch is a genius; it appears to be a bug in Wordpress itself.
Weber! I caught you, you tricky bastard! I examined the html source.
Ok, i think I fixed it!
yep. Definitely a bug. Wordpress doesn’t always check for a closing tag.
Ok, let’s make all text underline instead!
test23123
It didn’t work. Let’s make all text bold instead.
testin’ again.
haha. It worked.
Somewhere, Rod Serling is smiling.
Or puking. It’s hard to tell.
OOPS /?p=8# help
And Symeon – next time you visit, bring some cheese. I like cheese with whine.
OOPS /?p=8# help

Stop messing around. it’s immature, son.

hey, come on guys–shouldn’t we be using our few seconds here to create our own, new websites? Sheesh! lol
Why, Doug, can’t you tell? We ARE creating. Okay, the site may not be “new” but every additional (i.e. “new”) post on this website makes the site new – every time! There. Problem solved.
Fun Fun!
Just wanted to repost Doug’s comment without the lines. I feel much the same…

Doug nailed it. And said it very well, too. With complete sentences to boot. It’s even understandable and coherent and logical and IN YOUR FACE correct. Thank you, Doug.
Thanks
lol… I know it might ignite flame wars, but I figured it deserved a response.
.
PS: I really wonder if that person was a former dev.
Well, if that’s the case, he should be making his own website and then promoting it ad nauseum and exhorting us to come visit, not berating us for making this site the most unique experience anywhere in cyberspace.
Merry Christmas to all
Only two weeks left ’till Nontent Day!
Merry Christmas!!!
a belated merry christmas folks, and nice one Doug, I loved your post

LOVE the new site guys. I am THRILLED that the people who bought ResEx have added so much content to this site.
Seriously.
Great job guys.
Here’s hoping you guys add just as much content over the next two years.

Happy N-Years to everyone.
Hey, thanks admin!
I bet it was some Windows jerks who bought ResEx, just so us Mac users lose the best Mac custom site ever. Now we’re left with a handful of semi-decent sites.

Dumb thought: How’s about getting the site up first, AND THEN asking this? Yes, keep it, put in some sort of Archive/historical place along all the OS 9 stuff, all the other fun things they had on this place, etc.
Wait… did someone actually RESPOND to this post? Really, Wayne? Wow! I almost fell out of my chair.
*falls out of chair*
WTF, man? Have you not read the past 4,000 comments which have been posted over the past 2 years??!!

Ah, but the more important date is 11 months until the 3 year anniversary of the last official post made by an ACTUAL site owner here–Nontent Day: January 8th, 2010! Mark your calendars!
Last month’s celebration was fantastic!

In fact, come to think of it, it’s been a while since a fake admin post–like that one–has graced us. lol

Are we back? Is this on? (tap, tap, tap) Hello?
THIS POST IS 13 MONTHS OLD, ALMOST 14!!!!
WTF!?
looks like the main hole got too deep!
Feels good to be back again, even if there is no progress!
Some one must sill care about this place… Word press tags seem to be fixed.
I mean, that hack page was up for almost 2 weeks or so.
WordPress got updated to a new version, I see.
We hit China, apparently in the main hole. Can the loyal, faithful, lamely addicted tenants of this website cause every hole to reach China? Time will tell. We have a lot of work to do.
It’s the software upgrade to WordPress which caused the error.
But why upgrade WordPress on a site that hosts nothing but nontent?
The old version probably was what allowed the hackers access. At least this shows that there is some interest here, but probably only ’cause ResEx is stored on the same server as their other more profitable websites.
Hmmm…. Maybe this will work.
Nope….. Word press is killing the fun…
300!!!!
Ha. If this site ever does come back, I’m sure the explanation for the past three years will be good, or at least, it had better be!
“Well, you see, 3 years ago, it happened like this….”
