Things that suck.

Post by Username17 »

OK, we seem to have lost the information off the scshop server - which means that anything on the Pokemon d20 page we didn't have backups for is gone. Since Emma's computer also crashed not all that long ago - that means most of it is gone.

Anyone who has anything from that saved... um... could you send it too Emma or Myself?

I started putting it back together, but it was really big (probably recently exceeded the 10 meg limit in one of the storage areas, would be my guess), and it will take a lot of work regardless.

And that was the last resting place of a bunch of Emma art, some of which is wicked awesome:

And I think most of that is simply gone for good.

Ouch.

Here I was hoping that this was a thread about dustbusters and black holes.

I seem to have a folder entitled pokemonrichtext.zip that contains a half dozen files.

Wiiiight,


If the server is lost, then the email I sent to your old addy didn't reach you. :blush:

Yah, started putting those classes back up.

I'm overhauling them to 3.5 while I do it. Ugh. I hate 3.5.

SOME of it sorta got saved

Post by Modesitt »

If you haven't checked it already, The Internet Archive has a rather out of date and incomplete copy of the site.

You however, are in luck, for Google's caching works in very mysterious ways that result in it looking like everything you ever put on the page was cached at some point in the near-past or at least most of it.

Link to the Google search that led me to this belief. Just click 'cache' below each one and voila, you're suddenly looking at one page of your work. Tedious and would take a long time, but a lot less time than you'd spend rewriting it all.

Example: Koffing

If the Updates page is accurate, it looks like this cache is from about 4 months ago. 08/25/03 to be precise.

That's odd - when I checked it out, the last update was from less than two months after we started the website - December of 2002.

But thankyou - any help is a big help. We had a lot of stuff up on that site, and to loose it all at once is rather a big hit.

But on closer examination of the Google search, I think that most or all of the text may be there. You are completely the hero.
