For members new and old, check out The Byte Show archive. with wonderful discussions between Joseph and George-Ann Hughes. I discovered GDS through these chats, back in the day.

I too discovered GDS after having followed Georgeanne and JPF on the Byte Show. Those were the days, lol.

Yeah when it was all just strange, fanciful, and probable thinking. When it was all leveled by the belief that the govā that would not let that happen. Now, it is: well, UT OH ā¦

Archive is a fantastic resource.
A few years ago I told Margaret about the āwayback machineā on archive.org to pick the latest full year and they are the same original mp3 files from the original byte show website. That way you donāt have to convert the mp4 files to save space. I havenāt checked recently. I had downloaded them all from the original site right after Georgeann crossed over.

Tonight I am listening to the early Byte show episodes. Specifically the Cosmic War series. I am struck by some of the prescient comments George-Ann had on mind control. We live in such a strange world, in many ways a brutal landscape but these broadcasts, some over a decade old are gold. We get to hear a wonderfully open minded host platforming a great free thinker and alternative researcher bringing knowledge and education to all corners of the internet long after they have departed our cinematic plane.

and doesnāt time fly? 
our biggest problem is our short life span.
I really think we are āsupposed toā live around 300 years.

Me too found GDS after tuning into The Byte Show in 2008. A serendipity during a challenging time as well.

Hopefully memory of incentive can be passed down genetically so our quest becomes a continuum. The internet serves as a kind of library and I hope it can be preserved through the coming storm.
so many tings are getting deleted in real time! the hey-day of the Web was like 2010. since then, delete direct direct redirect, delete deleteā¦its sad
No doubt this has happened before, book burnings are one example, this is why recordings like the Byte show are important. I feel like this period of early podcasts will be looked back on as culturally significant.

Itās a bit tangential and, of course, highly speculativeā¦but I read that during the solar outbursts/Carrington style events (magnified) preceding a pole shift the copper in oneās walls is potentially āheatedā to the point that a house fire would be inevitable. Taking this idea further Iāve ALSO read (who knows) that many/most metals might be more-or-less liquified.
Iāve only played around with this idea in my head (such as it is) for a small time and itās probably bunk but if this WERE the case then stone/crystal would be the only method of preserving ātextsā information after these potential 12000 year cyclical events.
Interesting thought experiment at any rateā¦for now Iām keeping my analog magnetic tape:
Do you mean websites and shows? Redirecting where? Interested!
Interesting thread here on how social media compares to forums, to summarise social media encourages short term engagement to sell ads while forums build a corpus of knowledge and community.
