Does anyone know if this is still floating around anywhere? Zompist.com had it up for a while, and I remember seeing a few other renegade copies on other sites, but it seems to have vanished for good. Oh well. This can be an appreciation thread for it, in any case.

Hm... Doesn't seem to be working. What's the splash page?

I know this guy, he's a great human as well as a funny guy and a great coder.

Ah, I missed this... #453 is a classic.

ya know, the title of this thread made me think of something *completely* different from what it's about.

Which was what?

― Prude (Prude), Friday, 15 August 2003 02:39 (twenty years ago) link

this was a mad magazine premise

There are a bunch of cartoons in the mid 400s that have my captions on them. Look for ones written by "deX!".

I'm so star-struck now...

one month passes...

The archive is gone. But I saved all of the files (in a faintly dumb-ass way) connected with the DFC just before it croaked. For what it's worth.

Michael, I kiss you. I used to love that site so much.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Friday, 26 September 2003 23:52 (twenty years ago) link

Oh no! It really is gone! I don't suppose you've managed to host your renegade DFC anywhere, Michael?

― Prude (Prude), Saturday, 27 September 2003 00:00 (twenty years ago) link

Oh God, no. I suppose I *could* but I don't want to go through the potential legal hassles and the increased traffic to epicharmus.com.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Saturday, 27 September 2003 00:14 (twenty years ago) link

Hm, true. Alas, poor DFC...

― Prude (Prude), Saturday, 27 September 2003 00:14 (twenty years ago) link

I suppose I *could* but I don't want to go through the potential legal hassles and the increased traffic to epicharmus.com.

It would probably be a lot more trouble than it is worth to put them on epicharmus.com. Still, it is nice to know that the old files haven't disappeared forever and have been saved somewhere (if not on the web).

― Nicolars (Nicole), Saturday, 27 September 2003 00:18 (twenty years ago) link

However, it's possible that a coder, using my files, could conjure a sooper-dooper sekret recreation of the DFC complete with all the CGI what-not.

I would guess a lot of the pictures are gone, though.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 27 September 2003 15:07 (twenty years ago) link

I suppose there's no way you could consider Zipping all the files to save space and maybe sending copies to people or something, on burned disc maybe...
