You’re welcome. I wonder where Bob Bobberson is today. Still among us?
His Twitter account has been defunct for years, but I imagine he still checks in from time to time.

Yes, a restoration in these latter-days.

Looks like the old MDB site has finally given up the ghost, so the link forwarding that was once in place no longer works. At one point someone created a URL reformatter to update old links to the proper URL on the current board.

I think we need some links to newer classic threads or at least nominations.

These are old, not new, but I will nominate all of the editions of The Cassius Review of Books, all by Darth J:

Volume I, Issue I -- "The Church and the Negro by John L. Lund" -- viewtopic.php?f=4&t=114397

Volume I, Issue II -- "Truth Restored by Gordon B. Hinckley" -- viewtopic.php?f=4&t=115625

Volume I, Issue III -- "About Baptism by Emma Marr Petersen" -- viewtopic.php?f=4&t=115713

I spoke with Darth J and he recalls doing only these three. Did anyone else publish in the Cassius Review?

I would also suggest the key works of our own Alfonsy Stakhanovite:

Answering Daniel C. Peterson's Call for Assistance!
How Now Lolcow? A Daniel Peterson Thread
Are You There, Kant? It's Me, Mark Bukowski
Daniel C. Peterson and the Abandonment of Philosophy
Cassius Circle: David Hume's 'Of Miracles'

I am, at present, unable to locate Stak's Camus thread, but that should be on the list.
