Hmm, not looking too hopeful. A couple of those pages were crawled, but are missing the data. I was able to find some headers, such as:

    <meta name="description" content="The NPCFF bestiary. Everything from an explanation of 1337 to Yvonne.">
    <meta name="keywords" content="PCFormat, Bestiary, NPCF, PCF, Not PCFormat Forum, NPCFF">

Unfortunately, no data. Every time I've tried to grab the flash file or whatever, I'm told it wasn't grabbed. I do have an old PC in the cupboard, maybe at some point I'll try resurrecting it to see if there's anything there, wouldn't get your hopes up though. I don't have a copy of the zip file anyway.

The other option is to go find Rowan, kidnap him, and not let him go until he recreates it...

Crikey how long ago was this thing! I was only 18 in 2004

Hah! Time passes. Next stop 40.

If it's any consolation, I was only 48 in 2004. I noticed Menace as I was poking about in those posts and he was in his 50s.

I don't remember, but would guess late 2002 - the welcome thread for this place is Jan 2003, and there are casual mentions to it just a couple of weeks in, but "just go to teh forum bestiary, there are notes about a lot of people there already" suggests that it's not too old.

If only we had a satirical chronicle to help us catalogue such things. :C

Hello

Hello Ant. 

Ay-up!

Yes

I love how many people clearly poke their head in fairly often - just on the off chance the web has reverted 20 years.

 

it's nice to see if someone's posted something, or a rare flyby from a past face, for sure.

Here's Rowan. Make it happen.

What are you up to nowadays, Mr M?

Mostly training people to be doctors, along with a bit of research. And being a dad - that takes a fair bit of time. Hope all is well with you. 

Whoa, buried the lede there a little bit unless I missed it before! Congrats - just the one?

Still lecturing I assume? Was it a Doctorate that you were doing when you came over to talk about organ donations?

Lifes good here - also dadding and all that! I've been an IT Contractor / Freelance consultant since 2013

I've got 2 boys, one 5 months and the other 4 years. 

Still lecturing, gradually and unintentionally doing less of it though as I take on other roles. It was my doctorate that I came to speak to you about - seems like a lifetime ago.

Holy what the f... hi everyone!
I am mostly stalking people. When I'm not allowed outside, I make computers talk to each other quite quickly so that The Man can make more money that they don't need.
