But those won't be done until I get time to edit all the links.

So use the first one if you need need access to the entire site for now...

If you're going to recode the pages, perhaps you will be making layout improvements to said pages such as drop-down menus and the like?

I have a feeling you're going to start yelling out in a Scottish accent soon enough.

LOL  :) Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

I think the old site layout works perfectly well.  As far as I can tell, it is simply coded and works equally quickly or slowly in all browsers.

What I meant by the "coding" as you put it is that it's hard coded to the old paths ie: /~benfrow etc etc so I am having to edit every HTML page and there are many..

also looks like the version that got uploaded to me is missing some folders ie: the Forgotten Realms stuff...

so I am having to combine that copy with 2 different "archive" copies from online archive locations ...

I wont' be "redoing" the website other than fixing links ...

If someone other than "Black Dougal" wants to actually revamp the entire site - you have won that honor at anytime you want it :)

I'll give you an FTP login to maintain it (pending approval from dougal)

Don't want another website, but I can offer up my Excel file (what I've done so far) that breaks the components down to anyone that wants to update the Archive.

I have an extensive Word document summarizing my collection of RPG's, TSR code, name, and contents in the same format as TSR archive I would donate as well. I had to compile such a document so I could keep track of what I have and don't have, as well as provide a replacement list for my insurance policy.

Does anyone have a similar list of TSR codes, name, and contents description in the TSR archive format for Gamma World and Star Frontiers?

I have Crazy Egor's Master List of TSR items, but not in a format I could easily provide to anyone else. Certainly helps me know what I am trying to find...

I posted a zip file and another user created a mirror of the local running TSR Archive.  It was mirrored on revised version May 2009.

No response from the original owner as of yet.

No need to "hear from the original owner" ...

Black Dougal (Adrian Newman) is that person and he is the one that uploaded his copy to to be hosted at: http://www.tsrinfo.net/archive

Though the copy he uploaded was actually missing some stuff and is not coded for relative URLs, thus I am having to edit all the pages.

So, at the moment, it's actually running at:

http://www.tsrinfo.net/archive/index.htm


Anyway, whenever Adrian decides he wants to update the site (should he ever have time), I am sure he'll want to make changes to only one copy.

I am guessing the copy I host will be that copy since he sent me the files, but that's just an assumption on my part.

Someone has posted a old copy of the site here:

http://tsr.bothgunsblazing.com/index.htm

Looking at the page source, it contains this comment:

<!-- Mirrored from home.flash.net/~brenfrow/index.htm by HTTrack Website Copier/3.x [XR&CO'2008], Sat, 30 May 2009 01:46:41 GMT -->

There are only a couple of links that don't work and all the images appear to be there.

<edit>   Sorry... I guess this was already posted... I missed it when I scanned the messages earlier.

ScketreWhisp - you may want to look into a multi-file search/replace tool like:

http://www.wingrep.com/

That might make your editing a bit easier.


Thanks for picking up the torch on this one also :)

Someone else had done it, I got their copy and posted it so it's been online a bit now.

I noticed that the archive comes up in both areas of tsrinfo.net

http://www.tsrinfo.net/archive/index.htm

and

http://tsrinfo.net/~brenfrow/

Is one more current than the other?

I don't think there has been any update to either since it changed hands.  It is just a good resourse to keep archived instead of losing it to the dusty corners of the item.

I'm sure many of us appreciate the time that was put into its creation.
