DoDMod forums mapping archive - All the old posts here!

Wunderboy · 02-13-2008, 04:59 AM

I felt that there was so much useful info that was going to be lost when the old forum was shut-down so I made an effort to archive it all for posterity.

So I give you The DoD Custom Content Forums Archive.

Obviously it's read only and not as sleek as the original but I *think* it's all there all the way back to 2003. I've kept the layout as simple as possible to save space/bandwidth and it's plain HTML for easy of browsing. I also stuck a Google search box in the corner which will hopefully help you search the archive once Google has spidered the site and indexed all the pages.

Unfortunately I couldn't save attachments and I haven't converted all the URLs in posts to links but the text is still there and I think that's the most important part.

Hope you find it useful.

So who originally hosted this site?
Would it be possible to get the rest of the forums back or are they long gone?

Valve hosted it and as far as I'm aware they're gone for good.

That's a real shame.
Just out of curiosity, how did you do the backing up?
