GE-97 TERMINAL

Where these came from and what was changed. 100 threads, 199 saved pages, kept by Khalid Alshaikh. Each is a complete forumKIT save: the posts sit in a JavaScript array inside the page and are drawn by the forum's own script, so every issue still reads with no network.

Three changes, and only these three. The pages were re-encoded from windows-1256 to UTF-8 — not a character altered, only how it is spelt in bytes, because a server's charset header overrides the tag inside a page and without this every Arabic letter arrives broken. The files were renamed to plain ASCII, because Arabic filenames do not survive a Windows unzip. And Chrome had written a full copy of the forum's stylesheet, script and icons beside every save — 7,730 files, 211 MB of the same 372 files over and over; one copy of each is kept in assets/ and every page points at it.

Pictures inside the posts were mostly hot-linked to other people's servers in 2005 and were already dead when these copies were made, so they show as broken frames. That is what the page was, not something done to it.

The issue numbers on the left are ours, not Kooora's. Kooora's own count cannot carry the run: it restarts at 1 every season, it skips (nothing between 14 and 28 of 2006-07 was ever saved), and the رابطة threads that fill each summer carry no number at all — so "issue 33" names four different weeks. So the run is numbered once, straight through, 1 to 100, in the order the threads were posted, with the summer رابطة counted in like any other issue and marked for what it was. Kooora's own number is printed beside ours in every row, because that is the evidence and ours is the convenience.
