Guest realitycheck Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 (edited) Okay... so G mentions in chat if we've completed any archiving of IGNWF stuff. Strangler and I say we're not really sure whether or not anyone has done any in-depth archiving of the old stuff. Mr. G then says that we'd better hurry it up, then, because it appears that some people want to start using the board. This means that the IGNWF content will likely be wiped for whatever new fed gets put in. This revelation actually makes me, y'know, go out and do something. Unless I know otherwise, there hasn't been any extensive archiving by anyone for IGNWF shows/promos. If I'm wrong, do inform me on here. If I'm right, then here's how I suggest going about doing it... From the first archived show that hasn't been deleted, to the last show on the boards, I've broken everything down into 2 month segments. It comes to a grand total of seven, plus one person who would go around and collect all of the PPV's. I think we have enough Insiders to go around, but if not, some shows being lost in the annals of time in the first segment, and the last segement being slightly shorter means someone could take doubles if they wanted. Also, if a person going through their two month period found any notable promos, they'd be expected to gather those as well. This archiving would apply to the WF only, as although the JL shows were important, it would just be far too tedious for someone to get everything from both leagues. So, provided we don't have anyone who's already archived everything by their lonesome, any takers? Here's the breakdown: November 3rd, 2000 - February 22nd, 2002 === November 3rd 2000 - January 1st, 2000 - Judge January 2nd, 2001 - March 1st, 2001 -Dace March 2nd, 2001 - May 1st, 2001 - TNT May 2nd, 2001 - July 1st, 2001 - Mark July 2nd, 2001 - September 1st, 2001 - Raynor September 2nd, 2001 - January 1st, 2002 - Z January 2nd, 2002 - February 22nd, 2002 - HVT PPV's - Z -Z Edited May 27, 2003 by realitycheck
Guest Powerplay Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I'll try taking Nov 2000-January 1st, 2001. Let's do this quickly, people.
Guest KingOfOldSchool Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I believe the only archived stuff is at the SWF reserve board. And it's not much, at that.
Guest Grand Slam Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Sign me up somewhere. I'll do my part.
Guest Dace59 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 If someone sorts it all out into a set of files, I'll host it up on my site so people can just dl them to look at them. Not great easy viewing, but a load of Zip files would work.
Guest HVilleThugg Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I don't have Insider, but if someone who does (but doesn't have time to archive) wants to loan me their info, I can also help. Da "let me know" H
Guest Dace59 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Yep, if any of the Insiders don't have Boardband/ Cable, just hand their accounts over to people that do to make it quicker.
Guest TheBostonStrangler Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I have Insider. I have no time to do this. Therefore, anyone that wishes to use my account may PM me. However, the only condition on this is that you have to post once at IGN, and that post has to slam Galatea. OK, maybe not. But bonus points if you do.
Guest HVilleThugg Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I'm doing Jan/2002 - Feb/2002 Da "gettin' it done!" H PS - where are we putting all this stuff?
Guest Crowe Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I have Insider but I also do not have the time to archive (especially the next two days... yeesh). So if Thugg or Dace or anyone wants to use my login and password, send me a private message and I'll give ya my shit. \m/
Guest HVilleThugg Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Give it to Dace. I'm using Strangler's... Da "should probably do his work, but fuck that...i'd much rather archive" H
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Throw somethin' my way. No one will mind of I grab a few must-have classic JL matches too though while I'm at it, will they?
Guest Dace59 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I've got Crow's info, so I'll take the second to last lot of dates.
Guest realitycheck Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 (edited) Okay.... Mark, Dace, TNT, I've singed you up for the three sets of dates after Judge. TNT, if you find any JL stuff you've got the additional time to grab, do so. It's not that I think the JL history is inconceqential, but it would just take too much time to get the WF and the JL shows. Also, do to a small mis-calculation on the dates, the section before January-Feb 2002 is now bigger than all the rest. So I'll take that one, in addition to the PPV's. EDIT: Alright, Dace, changed. EDIT DEUX: Bah. Okay, changed again. -Z Edited May 27, 2003 by realitycheck
Guest Dace59 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I'll just save everything within the dates and zip it up, no problem really.
Guest Dace59 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Z, change it back, I've started on the Jan - March 2k1 stuff now. Sorry man.
Guest chirs3 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I'll borrow Strangler's account and get July to September of '01. What am I looking for, just shows and notable promos?
Guest realitycheck Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Pretty much, Raynor. Ignore any PPV's you find, as I'm gathering all those up. -Z
Guest chirs3 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Ok, starting now. When I collect it all, who does it go to?
Guest Grand Slam Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Ummm... wow. I'm hoping to get to it later this week...
Atlas Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I could host it on my personal server, if need be. Either that or the webstapce Johnny provided for the sites. I just don't want to pimp out his bandwidth myself.
Guest Dace59 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Like I said, you can use some of my space as well, if it's needed.
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I also have a ton of space on my UVA account, so I can host stuff there for people if need be. We'd have to move it in two years, but eh...it's there.
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Oh, and hey, we already have the final ML show somewhere, right?
Guest KingOfOldSchool Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I was thinking; did Dames give us just the sub-domain or the domain and space? If need be, we could throw the archives up there, while continuing to use theswf.net as the actual 'current' site. Although it seems as if we'll (possibly) have more than enough space for the archives as it stands, without Dames' donation, and it may be a hassle having to keep track of two separate sites.
Guest TheBostonStrangler Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 I like Manson's idea of using Dames' site as an archive site. Odds are we don't need it for the fed, so we might as well just put it up as an archive with a rudimentary menu, and link to it from our official website.
Guest HVilleThugg Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 Well, sorry, but we won't be using Dames' space for archiving. CC and I have already come up with what we wanna do with that space. Da "now if only that damn Thugg would get off his ass and do it already" H
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 Well, sorry, but we won't be using Dames' space for archiving. CC and I have already come up with what we wanna do with that space. Da "now if only that damn Thugg would get off his ass and do it already" H Oh no, not another SWF CC Online HoDown.
Guest midnight_burn Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 It looks like all the WF stuff is taken care of, but if someone lent me an insider account i could get all the JL or ML stuff or something if people think it's worth saving, it's not like i have anything better to do. Unless someone's already doing/done that, in which case it's all good.
