exclamation-circle Archiving V:TES Websites of value

01 May 2011 17:32 #3992 by Adonai
In the last year or so, quite a few (100+) V:TES websites have disappeared from the web forever. If you know the author of a lost website that had valuable V:TES material, get them in contact with me about hosting their content. I will archive V:TES material on a subdirectory of my site, and they won't be able to change or update it, but at least it won't be lost.

Sites that will be particularly missed:

AshHeap.StorageAnnex.com
WarGhoul.com

ashheap.storageannex.com 's content is available at
ashheap.monocleofclarity.com/

I guess Greg W stopped paying for the storageannex domain, but I have been hosting the content for him for a few years, and have no plan on taking it down.

ashheap.storageannex.com 's content is available at ashheap.monocleofclarity.com/

Thanks for hosting the stuff, but actually very few of the links are working ..

On the Resource page only the Interviews and Articles are linked to new domain, but for example the link to the Deck Challenge page or the Game Variants & BYO Storyline Rules is still linked to the old site (which is no more).

Would be possible to add the links (and contents) to some of those pages? Also I would like to see the Barbed Wire Project page being available again. (Don't know where it was linked originally on the Ash Heap.

Thanks!

Looks like Greg's HTML uses absolute links instead of relative links in some places.

If I get around to it, I'll go in and perform surgery on his code myself so that "clicking" them works again. For now, you can still find those links by manually changing the URL in your URL bar to use "ashheap.monocleofclarity.com" as the domain.

Should be noted that his phpbb forum will never be resurrected, and anything scripted won't be guaranteed to work on this host.

Edit: All links should be updated now. But like I said, anything that links to old phpbb posts will never work.
