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

Re: Wastebin - A Trash Packet Archive
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.

Re: Wastebin - A Trash Packet Archive
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.

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

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?

Re: Wastebin - A Trash Packet Archive
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.

Re: Wastebin - A Trash Packet Archive
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.

Re: Wastebin - A Trash Packet Archive
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.

Re: Wastebin - A Trash Packet Archive
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.

SORRY, I PUT THIS ON THE WRONG MESSAGE!!! LOOK FOR IT AT CLEARINGHOUSE
Anyone at ICT who wasnt at HSCNT last year want to read some questions from acronym? I stupidly took Spirit and they F'ed up and I wasn't able to make it. I would love to play the questions with someone this weekend or at one of the upcoming tournaments.

I might be missing something here, but if Wastebin has been superseded by https://trash.quizbowlpackets.com/, is there a reason this post is still pinned?
