Guest crusen86 Report post Posted May 31, 2003 FYI: I doubt the board is just going to go anywhere - just a few tossers who made a few posts then forgot it ever existed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheAntipop Report post Posted May 31, 2003 Regardless, I still want the archiving done soon just in case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Taz_mark Report post Posted May 31, 2003 Oh crusen it's gonna happen, myself and Icon are working on the finer details right now. I really wanna make this work, and keep the legacy of the old IGNWF intact. But at the same time I wanna start something new. I'm pretty nervous about it, but I'm gonna my hardest and hope something good happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Report post Posted May 31, 2003 Someone make sure to collect all of the old retirement promos, i.e. "Wish" and Simon Flare's... and then all of the Carnie promos... etc... etc... etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HVilleThugg Report post Posted June 1, 2003 Well, I did my piece several days ago...just awaiting word as to where we're gonna put all this stuff. Maybe...AND THIS IS A BIG MAYBE...everyone can send it to me, and I'll put up an archive section on the website...that is if the other web people are willing to help me mark up the many, many, MANY archived matches, promos, etc. This could take up to a month or more to fully complete, so don't hold your breath, but I think it would make a cool addition to the website... ...so mull that over and chime in with your thoughts! Da "good God, 5 shows in 3 days...and one more tomorrow...I'm one tired DJ" H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Taz_mark Report post Posted June 1, 2003 So when can you guys be done doing this? We wanna get this started pretty soon(next week probably). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secret Agent 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2003 Space, Thugg, space. That's stuff is expensive. I can make a database for you to archive stuff in if you want. That would be a LOT easier than marking up tons and tons of shows, and a lot less cluttered. Possibly we could even start archiving stuff from here on out. I wouldn't do everything though, just matches that people feel are important, title wins, and PPV matches. Things like on a title history would could provide a link to see the actual match for the title change, etc. Of course, meaningless matchess like the King of hearts first match, or Edwin's first match might be of some value to folks now. Eh, rambling. Basically we can't save everything. If it is important lets save it. If it's important to a handler, they can save it to a disk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 1, 2003 Eep... next week, Taz? I'll get my stuff done by Monday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ash Ketchum Report post Posted June 1, 2003 Hmmm... guess I'd better go archive some of my old promos and stuff... and the matches that beat me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Report post Posted June 2, 2003 So when can you guys be done doing this? We wanna get this started pretty soon(next week probably). I just need to find one night to really hunker down, and I think that'll probably be Monday or Tuesday-ish. Might want to just put off your stuff until Thursday or Friday to ensure that everyone collects every last scrap of material that they want, and then go ahead.

Guest HVilleThugg Report post Posted June 2, 2003 Damn...yeah, I'm used to having my own personally server...where I can dictate the space. I forgot that we have limited space on theswf.net... ...well, actually...I can store the files on my server (which has oodles and oodles of idle space), and we can link to them from theswf.net. A DB would be grand...what DBMS are they running on that server. I could set something up so that you can continue to work on the new site.... ...and yeah, marking up all those files would be horribly painful and annoying. Depending on the DBMS, I could throw together a real quick Java or PHP script to mark them up and catalog them in the DB. Hmmmmm....

Guest HVilleThugg Report post Posted June 2, 2003 Hmmmm...I'm pretty certain I could whip something up to make archiving easier. I'll look into that. Da "needs a project to work on" H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Grand Slam Report post Posted June 2, 2003 Okey-doke, my section is archived. I have all of the shows, a bunch of promos (including the birth of Caveman Chris and the Love Rollercoaster) and even a couple of WrestleLines. They are saves of the actual web page, easiest way for me to do it at work. Now, what shall I do with it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 2, 2003 I'm about halfway done... I may need someone to glance over my section and help me decide "notable" promos. Some are obvious (Carnival In Toyland), but others I'm not sure if they're "notable" or not, so... yea. I'm also saving any and all of Vlad's "Wrestlecenter Roundtables" I find. Those things are a hoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Chuck Woolery Report post Posted June 2, 2003 I say just keep 'em all, Chris. Takes up more room, but it allows our history to be fleshed out more, if we put it up for public viewing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 4, 2003 Crap. I've got about 1 months worth of promos, and IGN's system just went kaput. This needs to overlap to Wednesday, I'm afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Report post Posted June 4, 2003 Crap. I've got about 1 months worth of promos, and IGN's system just went kaput. This needs to overlap to Wednesday, I'm afraid. I finally get onto IGN... manage to archive one measly Axis promo... and suddenly... LOOK! I have an excuse to go to sleep! Woo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 5, 2003 DONE! 12 shows and 100 promos all safely categorized and tucked away. I've pretty much got the first round of Wilson v Carnival, as well as Evil Inc, McCheese's return, a ton of eXodus the Son, and... yea. I'm gonna go faint now.

Guest Grand Slam Report post Posted June 5, 2003 100 promos? I might have to go back and check mine... I don't think I had more than 20... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HVilleThugg Report post Posted June 5, 2003 Yeah....me neither Mark. I think I had about 15 promos...but also, back in the day, people used to promo on the boards a lot...and then it kind of died down. Did you get JL promos too? Cause I didn't get any JL shows or promos...were we supposed to? Da "100...that's r-eeeee-diculous" H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 5, 2003 I ws having a hard time deciding which promos were "notable" or not, so some wiseass said "Just get them all!" Me, being the idiot I am, did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HVilleThugg Report post Posted June 5, 2003 But Chris, I got all the promos too! I didn't want to decide what was noteworthy or not, so I just grabbed them all, and I still have only about 15 promos. Maybe your time slot was just a time when everyone and their mama's was promoing. Da "hates to be you" H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 5, 2003 You mean I could have chosen a period with FIFTEEN promos?! *faints again* I'll list 'em all later. I've got nothing else to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
