The Philotic Knight is taking a fair amount of his personal time to write code and otherwise rebuild the old COH forums making them indexable in the process. This would allow ppl to do searches -- to find old posts by user name for example.
With the large amount of data involved those of us who wish to help are downloading the original forums off an archive and running Knight's program on our own computer which sends the results to Knight's.... a bit of a logistal headache to put together and keep going IMO but in the end the results are worth it for a large number of players I am thinking.
I personally like the idea of some soft of pledge/sub system when/if the NCSoft issues are resolved.
Until then in accrual based accounting anything listing future monies coming in is added to the bottom line.... thus it could legally be considered income even though it is just a list of who would like to give some money. If the whole idea is to avoid earning money we should avoid any kind of pledge.
I dont have anything on this computer that will save an image file.
Here is a drop box link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/isgsevd7jgw6s9t/Errors.xlsx?dl=0
If we get 5+ of us peering the torrent things should speed up a lot.
Do you still need those error messages -- most of them were with a server times out 3 times message as well.
I had about 20 copies of the app running. I think they likely just tried to use a file already deleted by another thread.
After clearing the messages I had 1 copy left running.
Got an error about the server being busy 3 times - hope we arnt over loading you :)
Another error I can email you - dont have an image host set up to post it -- suppose we could buddy on discord and do it that way.

Morning and 19 errors
Can these be saves to a log?
Looking at cpu use, disk use, net bandwidth, I could run over 200 of the app at the same time.
Could you make a local config file so I could set my name and data directory so I could just start clicking away?
In case any of you end up with all the files to be parced in separate directories too.

Never deleted 18k+ empty folders before and that is saying something for me.
Win zip did the first ok. Maybe 20-25 min.
It just wasnt willing to do more then 1 at a time with the second wave. I was not going to queue them up 1 by 1 time.
Second wave took 77 min.
Before bed I'll get it going.
Wow Win Zip sucks monkey balls -- like really salty smelly ones.
Should have listened and used 7z right off.
Estimating 90 min to uncompressed all the files.
I'd like to see a couple more cities. A west coast 'Bay Area' type city. Once for each continent and more cultural diversity in the new cities -- gang and monster groups based on the myths, magics, and legends of those areas.
Upgraded textures and game engine.
I am more or less happy with the powers - though the artwork as nice as it is can always be better.
Any reason I could not make a whole bunch of copies of the executable and alias them to the same data folder? Or would they all try and work on the same file at the same time?
Or will it all be done by the time I get home from work today? :)
I 6 slot hot feet. It is a significant source of damage and protection.
Acc, slow, damage are all good. There is a set that has a proc for -resist too if I recall correctly.
