Might the Internet Archive have old versions of your site? I liked the Doblo posts.

I did this a while ago with the entire Balkan stories and filled 320 pages of photobooks with them. It was a lot of work but definitely worth it. A different life it seems …

“Yes, Joeri, awesome!” and “Joeri is always right.”? My cunning plan seems to be working. Resistance is futile :)

For (another) example, on 23 May 2002, I made the following comment: “!!!! Now that’s just plain sick, Joeri. Don’t click on that link at the office, people!!!”
but Joeri’s comment is missing.
Your comments were preserved in more recent years, Joeri, I checked. So for some reason an early export/migration killed your comments for some reason I guess.

Coincidentally, in the section of the blog i am looking over now (2002) some of Joeri’s comments are missing, which i know because there are comments by other people referring to them, i.e. “I totally agree with Joeri!” or “Yes, Joeri, awesome!” it’s very strange, the technology on you people’s planet.

Joeri is always right.

Cool! I’d buy your book and I’d love for you to include comments and limericks! Seems to me that comments are voluntary on a site that you own. I agree with Joeri…stick a claim on the front page of your site claiming ownership of all that is left here.

Ok, Joeri, I have started over with the editing process. This time I am only deleting lame posts, obsolete posts (out-of-date links etc) and posts that got truncated because they included illegal characters (is my guess) such as umlauts or accented vowels and not the proper ASCII codes or something. I will decide what to do about comment permission later. I had a feeling when I started that at least some comments should be included, but that seemed like work and I am lazy.

Why bother asking permission. It’s your blog: of people write comments, it’s because of you or your post so the comments don’t mean squat or even exist on their own. And in case of doubt: just publish some sort of disclaimer. Who would remember having agreed to those anywho :p

Since the comments are “the best part,” it’s a shame you won’t be using them, or at least some of them. Is there any way you could use the comments without identifying the people, e.g., by using letters (A,B,C), for instance, instead of names? Or could you send a mass emailing requesting permission to use comments without identifying anyone by name?
