What I miss the most

[Joanne Vergin]

I will miss being able to read Brad Mercer's old posts. Barbara Bouldry's also.

[Billy Cox]

That indeed is a profound loss.

[Cindi Hammons]

Ohhhhh....I never thought of that. :(

[Dana Grant]

Yeah, it was always neat when I looked up something from the past and then found that Brad or Barb had responded to it. Yep, sad.

[Dennis M. Scott]

Is there anybody who has a copy of some of that? Roland? Karen?

Some of Brad's stuff is on youtube, I think.

[Cindi Hammons]

There were several times a post would be bumped up from the depths and I would find that Brad had responded to something I had written...I would smile...and then it would sink in that this was an old post. Sad.

[Betty Bolerjack]

I still have the posts from Craig Whitlatch that I had posted previously in the NazNet memories, including the mIRC memorial service that we had for him. I can repost those when there is a place to do so. Unfortunately, I don't have any of Brad's or Barb's posts. :( I do, however, have the Garfield slippers picture!! :)

[Carolyn Franklin]

I just can't believe there is not a "Way Back Machine" on the internet. At one time I thought that Scott had posted a link to it. I thought once it was on the internet it would be there forever.

Yes, we have heard to be careful, b/c somewhere out there it was still floating around, and someone might just "pick it out the air"/from cyberspace, and see what it is that went on "way back when."

Guess the problem is/might be how to access what's "floating around out there," when it's wanted, and not just accidentally sometime in the far-away future! [Do we understand it? Not at all. But we do like it, huh, Carolyn? ;)]

[Kevin Rector]

There is a wayback machine, but it doesn't give a full picture of what was going on. Often graphics are missing. On a site like Naznet where there were over 100,000 posts, there is vast swaths of information that is forever gone.

[Kevin Rector]

I forgot the link in my last post:

[Ryan Scott]

I don't know if it was Brad's line or Roland's, but...

"God must be God and love must be enough."

[Cynthia Prentice]

The ghost of NazNet lives on in Internet Caches. So close yet so far.

[Hans Deventer]

I have a couple of posts from Brad saved as emails. I'll see if I can post them again under his name.

[Cynthia Prentice]

Some of the links work and allow you to read old posts.

[Joanne Vergin]

Then hopefully we can recover Brad Mercer and Barb Bouldry.

I've reposted quite a few posts from Brad on the theology forum, Joanne.

[Ryan Scott]

Here are some posts of Brad's Hans put in the theology forum.

We have the first duplicate thread. Hosts, this could probably be merged with the other thread about lost posts.

[David Morris]

Who is Brad?

This gives a little background. http://newstartrivercity.com/history.html

Good deal...thanks.

[Hans Deventer]

Who is Brad?

Brad Mercer was a NazNetter from Texas, who started a church in Frisco together with Roland Hearn from Australia, because they met each other here on NazNet. After a couple of years Roland went home again to Brisbane, and some more years later Brad and Karen and their children followed to start a church in Brisbane as well. However, in March 2007 Brad got cancer and he died in December 2007. These are the facts.
But the more important thing is that is that Brad and Roland developed a dream on what a church should look like, and tried to live it to the fullest: "God must be God and love most be enough".

You'll learn a great deal more about Brad when you read his posts though.
