The Library has been closed to new acquisitions since the forum ceased to be at the end of 2008. What remains are hundreds of Posts of the Day, and a reading room much reduced from its glory days.
To mark the recent 10th birthday of this site, which as you can see retains a skeleton caretaker staff, the following links have been collected which provide a glimpse into its tumultuous history.
Or you can just skip to the end for the post of the decade.

There was a great forum that had erudition in spades, crafted posts that jumped off the page and tugged at your cerebrum, making run of the mill forums look exactly that. (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=90331.msg1854178#msg1854178)
Then it all went away and here was born. Other internet stuff is ephemeral, but that forum was different. And people still remember it and miss it...
Post of the decade is perhaps a bit strong, but it's nice to be remembered.
