Forum Archives

Post by HelgeK » Mon, 11. Nov 02, 13:09

Hi All,

as promised, I've extracted the old THQ forum into two archives that can be downloaded at the following URLs:

http://forum.thq.de/extra/xforum_de.zip (13 MB)
http://forum.thq.de/extra/xforum_uk.zip (23 MB)

Although the files inside the archives are pure ASCII, they might be too huge to open for some editors. The end-of-line characters used are LF (*nix, Mac), not CRLF (Win). It should be possible to write a script to convert these archives in a more readable format, or to import into forum software.

The files will remain for a couple of weeks on the THQ server for you to download, after which they'll be permanently deleted.

Regards,
Helge

Good :-) I hope you have the means to manipulate it :-)

Not quite correct, the forum was already hosted by THQ then, for a year I guess, albeit using the WebBBS software...

Cheers

Rough estimate would be 6 letters and a space for each word, which would make 90Mb equivalent to a little over thirteen million words...

I reckon someone should do a "Directors" edition of the forum, bringing up the "classic" arguements/jokes/flames etc :)

That would be amusing reading :)

Who, me? Hell no! :-)

But in ten thousand years from now, it'll be kick-ass educational material for data-archaelogists, socio-palaeontologists and aliens from outer space :-)

Hi together,

after a while i´m trying to get the databank files, but no one in the german Forum could help me.

If anyone of you have stored the files somewhere else, please contact me: ddrow@freenet.de or per PM. It would be more than great, if i could restore the old Forum.

Thanx & Greets
Drow

Pixel, you did notice the date on this thread, right? Drow's been doing some necromancy, although we'll forgive him this time since the reason seems good :-).
