someone here earlier stated that they had an unused license?  we need it at least temporarily to host the old database so we can suck all the good stuff out.


anyone recall who it was/how to contact them?

there was 'good' stuff in there ... we can't possibly be talking about ?off.

...welll...ok, it was bad stuff...but some of it was brilliantly written.

Dude named Kevin posted to Ectopia in the '?off data archival' thread.

Why not just get me a copy of the database and I'll just import it into here. 

The tricky part will be getting it in a format I can use..  might have to reinstall SQL server.

im not sure thats an option...Id go with it but every conversation with Joel about getting the database seems to end with him asking about a fogbugz license.

philo, have you asked whether we can jsut get the damn database?

I think it makes Joel hard in the pants to think about levering us psychopaths into buying a FogBugz license from him.

anyone know how we can contact kevin?

Assuming he filled in the email box on Ectopia, Simon should be able to drag it out (if he's still speaking to us. :)

What now?

go to bed you flu drunk british fop.

There was a guy called Kevin who posted in the "?off archive" thread on Ectopia, and he said he had a FogBugz license.  Did he by any chance leave an email address in your database?

Yes he did, I'll email him.

Nice one!

Done.  I directed him to this post.

I emailed Joel, and will keep you all up to date on any developments.

Also, so as to officially join the ranks of the ?off-in-exile community:  You're all a bunch of morons.

yay kevin!

you snot nosed moronic bastard.
