Archived files

Worfeh

Hey all,

On the old site we had a section where all old archived files from the old TLR files were acceseble to the public.

Do you think we should make them availeble fully on this new site?
Remember that there are downloads from mods with version 1 to 35 wich aren’t very usefull.

Or should we put them availeble on a need to have? Like you ask for something and we make them availeble again on the regular downloads?

Or are there volunteers to rearange those downloads so only the usefull ones will be availeble for download like shippacks and tools?

Please vote and or give your opinion.

They should become all aviable since there might be some interesting stuff for many people.

But I do agree, moreover the most useful thingies should be put into the DL area.

I disagree. Sometimes there are reasons that you would want to get an older version of a mod/program. Take a look at FLMM or the UTF editors, for example.

I think that the downloads should be organized into sections like the current downloads page, and at the very least there should be a search function like there was for the old archive. Multiple versions of the same mod or utility should ideally be grouped on one page.

I sense a volunteer here.

Im more than willing to get the old downloads online… but yest they have to be organised. If there are volunteers we will make them availeble on a “archived” section in the downloads area. After that they can be arranged.

ok,

Made the old downloads availeble again.

Just because we made a lot of lurkers so dissapointed in us that they had to register a username and post in the wrong forum, and that takes precious lurking time and we understand that.

Its in the download section under Archived.

If we feel that it is needed to take them offline again we do, because they will be in the way of decent searches.
And again, if there are any volunteers to rearange them please contact me via PM on this site.

Regards,

SP Admin Team.

EDIT:

We made them all availeble now for registerd members.
So if you want to be able to access 2500+ downloads you have to be a registerd user on this site. And its still free.

Thank you all for restoring these files. It is one of those things everyone takes for granted until they do not have access to them any longer.

I fully agree thank you for making them available.

Dunno 777 will help? But better not to give this to enemies.

Yep, visiting the archive is generating errors.
