Thanks techumseh for being our representative!

And thanks Robert for your reassuring answer!

[curtsibling]

Nice one, chaps!

Good to know where SL stands with the men 'upstairs'.

[McMonkey]

Thanks Tech

It is reassuring to know that our corner of the site is safe and we are not facing any major upheaval. Looking forward to many more years of Civing here

[techumseh]

Glad to do it, folks. He asks about wiki expertise. I recall it was Mercator and St. Leo that set up our wiki - correct?

[our_man]

McMonkey will make a good mod I'm sure

Good to see OM and Stefan still around. How's it going chaps?
As Vincent says, its a shame about your lost files Stef...

Not bad - just passed my final exams a few months ago and will be graduating this July. Leaving the gritty streets of Glasgow for the more gentrified surrounds of Edinburgh so everything's a bit chaotic at the moment! Looking forward to becoming another cog in the behemoth that is the NHS in August! Limited time these days means I have to be very, very choosy about which of the latest scenarios to devote my free time too, but I'm still playing and as always, impressed by the quality that continues to ooze from the good folk at the SLeague.

Don't know about Mercator, but definitely St. Leo.

BTW, I just checked the old SL site its full of stuff like Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in / home / sleague / public_html / connectstring.php on line 5 where download links used to be. When I was more active I tried to migrate regularly to the wiki site but maybe someone had better look into moving whatever is left (and surviving) over.

I am also worried for the BestofNet Collection over at Spanish. It is a treasure trove of scenarios.

I agree

[curtsibling]

I think we should actually make a massive effort to download and keep all the zips that are on the Spanish Site and Cradle of Civ.

That means that if those sites ever go down, we can start afresh...And it makes sense to have reliable backups anyway.

[McMonkey]

Good plan. If several of us download all the zipped scenario folders and keep them to one side for now, just in case. Some of the info on the CoC site needs to be backed up somehow too.

[DarkCloud]

It may be a good idea to save the HTML associated with the sites as well.
Some of the files may not have proper accreditation.

[McMonkey]

Is that just a case of selecting "View page source" and then copying the raw html text or is there a more refined method?

[curtsibling]

A message to everyone.

As I suspected my summer list of real life nonsense has dragged me away from the forum
for a little while. I suspect that my current freelance artwork job will keep me occupied for
a few weeks more. I will be checking here each day, and if I am needed in any capacity
regarding forum tasks or help, do not hesitate to contact me via email or PM!

I am always close by, just to let all the gang here know!
