Feldgrau in 50 years?

[Helmut Von Moltke]

hi, I'm wondering what will happen to the Feldgrau forum in 50 years? Will it still be the same format, will all the messages dating back to it's re-start in 2002 be still there? And what will happen to our accounts when we pass on, and will there be a new administrator continuing the legacy of Feldgrau in 75 years? I'm just kind of curious, since unfortunately most forums go down or change after a few years.

What we can say for certain Kevin, is that your “total number of posts” by 2056 will be into ten figures.

[Helmut Von Moltke]

aye, Andre. One can never be sure when mother nature takes me...

And who knows? Maybe in 2056, Pensioner Mr Pipes will start the forum again, 50 years of posting on Feldgrau gone..

Let's worry about getting to 2007 first, then aim for 2010, then onwards from there! As a general idea though, Feldgrau has been contacted by the Library of Congress with a desire to store the site and all the info in their digital archives for all of humanity to access for the ages. I think that should suffice, no?

How was Feldgrau 50 years ago?
Not a good question , but what I want to say is: if you think about new tecnologies of the last 50 years we can't imaging at all how it will be in 50 years. I think Forums like this (I don't mean the themes but the Internet) will not exist anymore.

[Helmut Von Moltke]

Brain28, about the Feldgrau forums not exisitng in 50 years, it will all be hundreds of thousands of printed sheets of member's posts and threads in the library of congress.. perhaps as a grandpa you would go there to have a look at your old posts and give a chuckle

Congratulations, Jason! I'm pretty sure that not just anybody got that message!

[Helmut Von Moltke]

aye, I'm not sure, but is the forum going to be archived as well?

Maybe the English translation will be in the 4th Reich Archive museum and a nearby row of interfaces with the then German version.

There may well be a bronze bust of Jason Pipes as well no doubt.

Or maybe not. Hey, who knows. Maybe third time lucky to conquer the world.

Goodness knows the world can hardly be more fecked up than it already is.

4th Reich? I'll be damned if there will ever be another Reich.

4th Reich? I'll be damned too if there will ever be another Reich. Or at least dead in the trenches.
