Update.
The front page is back up.
All maps on the various areas on front page is having valid links to review.
They're also downloadable.

Since I have to modify 2-3 thousand php files it will be a slowly comeback for the map/review repository.
I also have to resize some 12,000 images.
Note that some links here and there is not working as of yet.

Sorry for the inconvenience guys but I'm workig my ass off in order to rebuild the site  :)

Wow that all sounds like a lot of work  :o
Wall whore.

Yeah it sounds unpleasant, it sucks you're forced to do it but it's definitely appreciated at least to keep the reviews up.

ck3D

sounds like you're going through hell for the cause, thanks for your work and best of luck

It's looking really good!!!

I know its a sloppy workaround but can you batch resize all the images if they are supossed to be the same size? with irfanview for example.

Thanks mate  :)
There is no way to batch resize since the images aren't in the same folder and they also must be two different size outputs.
They're in some 1100 hundred folders along with a dozen other JPG/PNG/GIF's.
But of course; I do batch resize folder by folder.....after all; it is 12 images in each folder related to screenshots, so there is a little shortcut in there for me.

The map listing page is missing a whole bunch of links to maps all over the place. Like the authors are listed but some of them have blank spaces under them. Is anyone else getting this?

Man, what a never ending job  :P
As of just now I've re-created 337 reviews.

My main priority is to add those maps that shows up on the front page ( On this day....).
Then the map listings page is next.....
I'm working my way down the two coloumns side-by-side if you know what I mean.

I've just started off with Taivo Maripuu. Next one out will be Thobias Fast (Loke).

I think all links above Taivo is now valid. (except the Community listings).
Links below Taivo is yet to be finished (some are done....some aren't yet).


Of course, any submissions holding a review and images will override my priority list  ;)

Small update:
All links on the "Map listings" page is now valid as far as to William Gee in which I'm currently working on.
Think I've resurrected some 500 maps by now.

Just wondering, how much I can download from the site, and how long is this "short time span"? For example, I want to download about 10 maps, one after another - can I get ban for this, or is it alright?

Puritan

Ten in a row might get you banned from the scripts used.
Spread it out in....say 10 minutes and it should be okay.

Phew....
I've resurrected 800 reviews as of today.
More than 250 hours spent so far.

I felt it was time to put back the "Who want some" on the left column in the maplistings page.
Of course, since there still are missing some 280 reviews you might encounter authors with no maps/links ready yet.
But the chances of detours are decreasing each day.

Cheers guys!

You owe me a few reviews of my own maps, mister. ;)

And well done on the site, each time looking better.
