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?

― Prude (Prude), Friday, 15 August 2003 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Prude (Prude), Friday, 15 August 2003 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

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

― Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 15 August 2003 02:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Which was what?

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

― Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 15 August 2003 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

this was a mad magazine premise

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Friday, 15 August 2003 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

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

"Oh no, Mr. Elephant. I couldn't kill them..."

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 Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 26 September 2003 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

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

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

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-two years ago)

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-two years ago)

Hm, true. Alas, poor DFC...

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

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-two years ago)

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-two years ago)

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...
