Question about the Wiki Archive

Hey, so this might be old news because I don't recall seeing the link for at least a year now, but what happened to the archive of the old MUCK site that was on the wiki? The links back to the archive just link back to the wiki home page now

Re: Question about the Wiki Archive

Yes, it's been gone for about a year and a half, when I rebuilt the rwmuck.org server in early 2022. Because the archive was created by scraping the old Drupal site and comprises thousands of static html files, it took up a lot of space--at least as far as our our very tiny server goes. I made the decision to stop hosting a public version of the archive to conserve storage and keep my costs low. I believe there are ways to serve compressed html, but everything in the archive is on the wiki so it felt kinda superfluous anyway.

I *do* still have backups of it if there's something you can't find. Let me know and I can take a look.

If you remember URLs for old versions of the site, you can use the Wayback Machine.

The URL for the Drupal site was http://rwmuck.limitless.org/rwmuck, and it was thoroughly crawled.

Re: Question about the Wiki Archive

Ah, okay! I imagined it was something like that but wanted to male sure I wasn't missing anything

Most of what I was looking for was replies to a whole bunch of forum posts because they tended to have a lot of useful IC/MUCK info sprinkled in, but the Wayback Machine didn't save them. I'll keep in mind you have a back up and I'll start taking better notes of when and what is missing, and I'll send them your way if/when I find specifics
