retrieving content from the old WWW

[gusl]

I just remembered reading a fiction "book" in the form a blog, back when I lived in London (i.e. before 1997). I even printed it. It looked like the website of a guy who regularly received messages/letters from the future and posted them on his blog (this was >5 years before I knew what a blog was)... the story never wrapped up, at least when I last saw it.

The messages were written by 4 boys, one of whom was named Tyler (maybe there was a Shawn also). There is an episode when they meet their younger selves.

It was a fun story, and it's been lost to me, maybe because it's disappeared from the Web, but probably because the few keywords I remember now yield too many matches (can I tell Google to focus on old websites?).

if you know the url or at least the domain name you can try finding copies on archive.org

MESSAGES FROM THE FUTURE

* * * *

Purportedly, messages sent to a BBS from the future by four guys (Shawn, Alex, Tyler and Jason). They are living in 2005 (which they say "sucks"). They want to fool with causality and make sure that events get altered in their favor, so that censorship is avoided. They include news clippings from the late ë90s and early 21st century to validate their claim. (This fictional interpretation of where we're all heading is hilarious and chilling at the same time.)

IIRC, they also blame Catharine MacKinnon for the radical feminist world they have found themselves in.
