Default RPGhost archive.

I have added an additional forum "Archive" to the main list of forums.

It contains just over 400 threads from our old home. There are a few useful nuggets hidden in there. These threads now have a permanent home and will be searchable. Antenna's forum is next on my list to both provide a backup and allow a single source to search.

I still have a lot to do on the archive. Like check links and add keywords but I wanted to get it in front of everyone. If you find something worthy of moving to the main forum (for additional exposure) comment or just bump the thread.

Hope you find something interesting.

I have just discovered that my 400 or so posts in the archive seem to dominate any search results. I am considering back dating these posts to put them back where they actually belong time wise.

I am of two minds on this.

I want the older posts to get exposure, but if someone is looking for a recent post it might have to trudge through pages of results to find it.

Anyone have an opinion on this?

The trudge is worth it in my mind. What's a few more minutes searching for what you're after in comparison to the chance of totally missing it?

More older files added to the archive.

These are files that Chico saved and was kind enough to provide to me. Unlike the other threads in the archive these are not random, but files that were considered to have a value that merited saving.

Here are the threads I have added tonight

Asian Bases
Cantonments as Fiefs
More on the Sino-Soviet War
South Africa and the Twilight War
Soviet Hit List
Space
State Guards and Civil Defense
Why the nukes did less damage

TSiG: Soviet/Warpac Reaction to the Winter War
TSig, Ch 4: The Sino-Soviet War, Pt 1
TSiG, Ch3: Soviet Reform, Pt. 1
TSiG, Ch2: Soviet Reform, Pt. 2
TSiG, Ch2: Soviet Reform, Pt. 3

I will add another similar amount soon (I have only completed about half), but as I have to process like a dozen different formats to pull out the data it is kinda mind numbing. As before If you find a thread interesting bump it and I will move it to the main forum.

As I move the threads I will try to clean them up a little bit more.

Ok I finished the remaining 40 or so threads from Chico. Some good stuff in there. Eventually I will tag with keywords, reformat things like quotes, and try to fix missing attachments and links..


Enjoy.

I wished I'd saved more than I did... we covered an awful lot of ground from 2004-2008, had a lot of fun and had some great discussions!

Thanks for putting them up so folks can see some of where we are coming from...

Glad to do it.
Hopefully we can spark some even greater discussions.
