Neil... I noticed you have 'corrupted no longer available" for one of the 2001 gen discussion archives

I have on my HD two archives one named

general2001-1.zip
general2001-2.zip

do either of those contain the corrupted files? my zips open fine... holler if those are the ones you need and I can send..

No, those won't be the ones. They were corrupted before I got a chance to make a zip file from them, so there is nothing in existence.

In a perfect world we'd keep everything on the TVCH, but that slows the world down and takes up a lot of space. Making the zip files is a way to preserve some of it.

Yup hun - I have no doubts you could find a few here who'd be willing to house the Archives (of course you wanna keep a 'mirror" here.. but house the archives for people to dl from... you know what I mean? There are alot of people hwere who would be able to offer that... or at least offer mirror sites......:)

If you don't know what I mean holler I'll explain further if you do .. but don't wanna do the asking...um... I will LOL :)

How much space is needed?

Twig... I think I have them all on my HD (not positive though) and the total space is 30 meg.
(this is for all the gen discussions..and various BB's - don't think Game I is included in that (game 1 I think was 7 meg-ish)


Doubt it'd use much bandwidth MOST of the time - but there would probably be times where it did take alot (depends on how many mirrors there were - if there were 3 or 4 mirrors wouldnt be that bad) But I'm just thinking you know for example whenever the "archives' are brought up in a popular area they'd probably get more people dl'ing them.

Once the archives are created, they become read only, you cannot turn them back into a discussion board active topic area.

They can be unzipped and placed on a server so they are read only, so one does not have to download the zipped archive to only view a small area....but I'm just not sure how much demand there is for this!? I can't imagine trying to organize it either as I'm too busy with other stuff to do with tvch.

I believe Ryn once put some of the Big Brother archives on a server so people could view them, but I don't know if that still exists.

Admin wasn't suggesting (I don't think?? LOL) that they be unzipped on a server. Just suggesting that someone else could host a mirror of your archive area (to save some bw here)

The actual zipped files on my own hosted domain, enbcom.com which is different from the TVCH. I have 5 gigs of space there and a pretty good amount of BW, so there's no problem really.
