The TSP Download Archive
-
Hi folks!
The TSP download archive is currently hosted here in a fairly messy fashion. We’re using Backblaze to host it and generating unique links that change every day and then piped into the downloads page.
The archive as it exists now is a mess. There’s a ton of duplicate, non-relevant content and the stuff that is interesting is all over the place with often non-descriptive file names and no description.
I’d like to kick off an initiative to try and clean some of this up, remove files that shouldn’t be there, write descriptions for the ones that do and get screenshots for software and mods where relevant.
There’s also the question of what to do with video and image content. There’s quite a few old clan videos, mod showcases and other things that I’d love to make available on a platform like YouTube for easy viewing, but I’m not really sure where we stand with regards to uploading without permission. There’s also things like old forum signatures which I’d like to preserve but don’t really fit in with the archived content as a whole.
I’ve had a look over the archive as a whole and there’s a ton of interesting stuff in there. If anyone’s interested or keen to get stuck in, I’d love a bit of help trawling through it and cleaning it up. Let me know here or on Discord if you’ve got any thoughts on how to proceed with it all.

This sounds like an interesting project to get involved with over the Holiday break I have coming up. I’d be willing to give some time to this effort if you’ll have me!

@DragonFire I’ve added you to a group chat on the TSP site! If you don’t see it immediately, it should be accessible via the little speech-bubble next to your forum avatar top right.
I’ve set up a general sheet to track progress of the whole thing here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15BAapp18VPQ831P7-q8N2fFryeKUeJmwfflpJYKiKkM/edit?usp=sharing If anyone wants to jump in and help, request access to the sheet, let me know here and I’ll get you added to the NodeBB coordination chat for all this!

@IrateRedKite add me to the sheet, I probably know a few bits of what is on there. a few hands make slightly lighter work.

@Thaddeus A bit late, but done! You should have access.
