Talk:MindVox/Archive

message: Whoever updated this article did a fantastic job; wonderful. I have done a little editing, mostly about the 2005 mindvox.com site. Sdedeo 23:23, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello all. We need some more sources for this article. In particular, three important things are needed:
* Sources for the Kroupa "listed missing, presumed dead." Sounds a little fishy to me.
* Sources (including any actual messages) to confirm that "additional material suggests MindVox was never fully "closed" but simply closed to the public and became a private, invitation-only system, with reprints of messages posted in 1998 and 1999 being re-posted to various mailing lists." If this is really the case, there should be some stuff online somewhere, but I wouldn't know where to look.
* Sources to confirm that "Robert Maplethorpe, Douglas Rushkoff, John Perry Barlow, and Kurt Cobain" were MindVox users (or at least had accounts and once or twice used them.) I don't know where this came from, presumably a news article at the time?

thread_title: Sources Needed

message: Hey -- I just removed some footnotes from the text; the main reason to use the inline citations like this  is to directly reference something that establishes a fact; generally, links that just further describe something (e.g., the NeXT links) should be omitted (or if they're really useful, be put in the NeXT article itself.) All the best! Sdedeo 00:01, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Footnoting

message: There was also the group called VAL (Voxers-at-Large) and the talk of lifting the entire content of the Waffle and saving it somewhere safe.  We spent years on Vox and we wrote and poured our souls onto digitally arranged dotted screen.  Once in a while, I miss that.
Reverted last edit, the article doesn't contribute anything to MindVox entry. Not-notable, poorly written, list of names with links to home pages(?) Not appropriate for encyclopedia entry. Whatever VAL was it doesn't seem to exist anymore and it's unlikely the stated goal of reprinting copyrighted material from Mindvox would have been legally viable at the time. If you read the Mindvox entry, it appears that in addition to releasing some material to Textfiles.com, their database is intact and the owners have cooperated with educational institutions and allowed them to view the entire content within the last 3 years (Kroupa on Agrippa, cooperating with Kirschenbaum and English Department of UCSB).
