Occasionally I'll run through my list and delete Ideas: chronologically induced artistic differences usually, ... but a few months/years later and I want to refer to it or something and... <doh!>
So, just a list of the self-deleted ideas which are only accessible to the logged-in user, perhaps a "deleted posts" button to bring up the list, that can be undeleted by the owner if wanted.-- FlyingToaster, Jun 09 2011 Your ideas as of 22/12/2008 http://web.archive..../user/FlyingToasterYou can find deleted ideas in the Wayback Machine [theleopard, Jun 09 2011] I really liked this one of mine http://web.archive....a/Exit_20Fee_20ClubBut apparently it was widely-known-to-exist. <sniff> [theleopard, Jun 09 2011] The Wayback Machine Internet Archive will have them all cached...-- theleopard, Jun 09 2011 I can't find the one I'm looking for-- FlyingToaster, Jun 09 2011 Is it a droid?-- theleopard, Jun 09 2011 The Internet Wayback Machine doesn't "have them all cached".-- FlyingToaster, Jun 09 2011 What's the idea you're looking for?-- theleopard, Jun 09 2011 It's happened quite a few times: I get bored and decide to prune, sometimes to my later discomfiture. As an example, "Lunar Rail System" which was probably posted in the first half of 2008 then deleted because I was meaning to repost it as two separate posts, all polished up and I'm too lazy to redo all the math involved.
Other examples are ones which I ephemerally thought were too boring or "practical".-- FlyingToaster, Jun 09 2011 You're right, it's not in there. You must have uploaded and deleted it between cachings. Bummer! There was one called Lunar Biometrics, but I guess that's something different.-- theleopard, Jun 09 2011 heheh, quite different.-- FlyingToaster, Jun 09 2011 Stop deleting your brilliant ideas, toaster person.-- blissmiss, Jun 09 2011 // Is it a droid? //
Yes, but these aren't the droids he's looking for. He doesn't need to see your identification. You can go about your business. Move along ...-- 8th of 7, Jun 09 2011 I don't think i'd reach the point where i wished an idea i'd deleted was still there. I generally just delete it and move on.-- nineteenthly, Jun 16 2011 random, halfbakery
