wembleyHey, flist. On the off-chance any of you were on FCA-L or Prospect-L back in the day, here are .txt files of the entire message archives (allegedly). I downloaded it using the Chrome Yahoo Messages Downloader extension that morgandawn discusses here.
FCA-L messages text file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OE_iSCyhFP1FChrqMVOxkEcUi9cnTwK9/view?usp=sharing
Prospect-L messages text file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gfPUGA1myeY9RARHeKjmUotVjN8Sua4L/view?usp=sharing
If anything's missing, I apologize. I literally just used the extension as directed; there's no way I can read through thousands of messages and check what's there and what's not. But at least there's some kind of record. And if you were hoping all of this would disappear, I totally get you (I remember that sinking feeling I got when Geocities got saved -- my old bad fanfic out there forever!) but at the same time, the hoarder and fan of fandom history in me really didn't want these conversations to disappear forever. At the very least, you can check out and see that meta/wank/fandom conversations have essentially not changed for... decades, lol.
