Wastebin - A Trash Packet Archive

[Mike Bentley]

I just created Wastebin, a trash packet archive.

Please contribute to this archive by e-mailing me sets that you want included (and have the right to post) here via cultquizbowl@gmail.com.

I'm particularly interested in these sets:
2008 CO Trash
2008 CO Movies Tournament
JECHT I
2008 Minnesota Open Trash Tournament
2009 Penn Bowl Trash
2009 Weiner Trash
2009 GARBAGE

This link should work:

I'd also appreciate it if a moderator could pin this topic.

Mike Bentley may be the greatest hero in quizbowl.

Good call, Bentley. I think we've got all the old Ironhead packets from around 2004-2005 somewhere if you want them. If they're not too old, I'll check it out when I get back to Pittsburgh.

[Mike Bentley]

Yeah, send them over and I'll post them.

[ryandillon]

This is awesome.

What is this Tidy Whitey Bowl, and what can you tell me about it, lol? I asked Aren, who was a hs freshman nearby, and obviously he had no clue. We read a packet yesterday for historical purposes, and it was either the biggest waste of time, or 20 minutes of awesomeness, not quite sure.

[mujason]

Are there any plans on the TV Set being posted?

[Mike Bentley]

I can't remember if Mike sent that to me or not. I'll double check tonight. I also have Jeff Goldblum to post.

[Cheynem]

I seem to recall doing so, but maybe I'm wrong. If I did not, please let me know.

[Mike Bentley]

These two sets have been added.

[CraigM]

There's something wrong with the link to "Bayou a Drank" on the Wastebin isn't working right now. Is it going to be fixed?

[Cooper98]

I'm not sure if all of the mirrors are done yet for Penn Bowl. If they are when will it be posted on here?

lol

[Cooper98]

I'll take that as an I don't know.

Three points:

- First, that tournament was fucking horrible. You'd have more fun at practice reading popsicle stick questions to each other.
- Second, it was not even written fully; it seems unlikely that writers who failed that fundamental task would succeed in the next step of uploading it publicly.
- Third, the editors of this tournament should spend their time giving the damn refunds they promised to participants before spending even one second disseminating their horrendous questions more broadly.

[Cooper98]

Fair enough.

I'm having problems with the site--it's saying that "the domain registration has expired." I don't know if this is a problem just for me or what, but it's not letting me pull up any packets.

[Mike Bentley]

Whoops, looks like the DNS expired. Hopefully this will be fixed by Monday.

[Mike Bentley]

Looks like the site's back up earlier than expected.

[Mike Bentley]

I posted a couple of new packets today.

[Mike Bentley]

There are a couple of new sets on the site today. I think I may be missing 1 or 2 This Tournament Has Eleven Thousand Writers packets. E-mail me if you don't see your packet on there.

[Mike Bentley]

Added a few new sets.

I've been looking through my archives--I've found at least 22 packets I've written for online play only that are not on Wastebin (although not all of them are trash, and a number of them were posted on the forums at some point). I'll check and see if I have any more, index them, and send the trash ones off to Mike. The other ones are almost all history and I'll just probably post the zip file here.
