Thank Teeds... that's all you gotta know.



Far too often in this fast-paced, devil-may-care world of fly-by-night image hosting sites, you'll pop into one of your favorite old threads only to find that the images there have, at some point, been replaced with "Image not found" icons, because the hosting site has gone under.

That may be fine for your average, once in a blue moon poster, but when you're dealing with literally thousands of images (say - like those created by our late friend and beloved LMB founder, Micheal Lash) the loss of those would be immeasurable.



Enter Teeds.



Rather than face a world without Fandango, she did what any reasonable person would do:

Find the most anal-retentive, obsessive-compulsive poster you can and - under threat of repeated shin kicking - demand that he do something to ensure that, should any of Lash's hosting sites go defunct, any image of his on LW could be replaced.



Enter Ex.



After several sleepless, martini-soaked weeks, all the while having Teeds demand that I work faster, we are now - on LW's anniversary - proud to announce that we have methodically dowloaded every single image (3037 of 'em) that Lash ever hosted on either Photobucket, imgur, WordPress, or (for a few video creations) Youtube, and preserved them in a single zip file, stored both locally by Teeds and I for redundancy, and in the Super Cloud of SPACE here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B74-MYHR9wOUbl9XNmJWSFdwbE0

and unzipped, here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B74-MYHR9wOUUVRpblhMbXNtOWs



Whew!

Now, the world need never face the prospect of a Lashless day and that, my friends, is a world I'm proud to call home.

Well, martinis are good for something after all.

Thanks for all the work and thanks for the memories!

Kick it in, kick it in
Stand it up and knock it down again
Kick it in, kick it in
Shin kick it to the ground
Kick it in, kick it in
Tell me about the A&E you've been
Don't mess with Teeds, there's some limping going around.

I have a question...I looked at Shanghalla the other day and it wouldn't work very well for me. I couldn't move it up or down to show the "hidden" memorials. Is Lash's there and I couldn't see it?

If there's anyone that wants to make tribute rockets/statues, etc. for those that have gone since I last updated it, please go ahead and give it a try and send that over to me to include. Please keep it in close to the general theme of the page and/or based on existing Legion monuments from the comics.

Otherwise, we have to wait until the mood hits me enough to work on it.
