A very large chunk of the Babylon 5 MUSH Web Page is once again online, with a considerable amount of repairs, revisions, and flat out rewriting. Having to salvage something via The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine gets you a lot of terminally fubared HTML, but at least you get most of the content back once you spend weeks sifting out the debris.
It's still missing the Babylon 5 channel from the ISN archive, but the rest of the ISN feeds are back up and nicely reformatted from head to toe. Only the 'Comedy' section of logs is back up; each log needs to be pruned of the Wayback Machine notations and revisions by hand. It's not complicated, just time consuming.
I only managed to recover 197 of the 264 logs. The missing 67 logs are heartbreaking... some of them are the big Timeline logs, and were of near-critical importance. As I get each section back up, I'm annotating the missing ones; when I've got the full list of the ones that're missing or partial, I'll make an additional post to the game's Public BBS and see if anyone still has them. I... am not overly optimistic.
I know I sound tired. I worked on this project for a solid week before my vacation, and have been grinding away at it since my return. I'm burned... but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Might even get there. But for the moment, I'm going to shut most of this beast down and try and get a couple hours of sleep.

Let's see. If you've got an archived copy of Jackie's old B5MUSH Humor page, that's one of the things among the missing.
If you've got an archived copy of the PsiCorp styled site I put up for Ellie, I'll drive down there and kiss you till you pass out or you or Chris kill me. When Anne stormed out of the game, she ripped my hosted site down... and the very next day the drive I had it backed up on failed.
The log numbers I'm missing are these: 2, 7, 9, 10, 19, 23, 28, 29, 35, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 52, 53, 56, 57, 58, 59, 61, 67, 68, 70, 72, 75, 78, 79, 94, 95, 97, 102, 103, 105, 111, 117, 122, 123, 124, 125, 137, 139, 144, 148, 155, 167, 170, 174, 175, 182, 190, 192, 200, 211, 213, 215, 233, 234, 238, 239, 240, 242, 252, 254, 255, 260 ... though I would DESPERATELY love to have a full tar/zip/arc/gz of the full logs directory, because I think there're a couple of two parters that I'm missing the second part of.
As for the rest... love, I know you're up to your pretty little eyeballs in alligators trying to get a wedding planned. I KNOW what kind of chaos that entails, and just didn't want to add to the load. I'd asked... and figured I'd shelve it and ask again sometime early Winter-ish, after you'd de-stressed. But since I'd heard nothing back, I figured I needed to get started on what I could find, and I had no idea you were actively working on the old box. :p We're getting a fairly steady influx of new players again, and the page's MIA status was becoming problematic. Besides, the ISN feeds all -desperately- needed to be reformatted, and they look good in the new framed layout. The log page is getting a similar treatment... only the return link at the bottom of each log really needs to be changed, until I decide to go through and actually hand-format them. A project to keep me busy, one that'll wait until the page is completely up again. :p
But seriously... any and all of the stuff you have, just zip/tar/whatever it and let me know. Hopefully my DSL will be up again in time to grab it one evening.
*hugs*
