Project: Those (almost) forgotten C&C sites!

[Tore]

(Warning: This news post was a little rushed)

I need your help, I'm looking for old and (almost) forgotten C&C1/RA1/TS sites from where I can "save" content.

 

As you may know Gamespy is closing their web hosting services and that means all sites hosted on it will disappear, that means all sites which has this in their URL ".planetcnc.gamespy.com" so if anyone knows about some old sites which has that in their URL you got to be quick as they will disappear when August has ended.

 

If you find an old C&C site with interesting content you want to save post the URL in this topic, it doesn't matter where it is hosted it is just that the site must be inactive credit will be given to the site in question 

[Ferret]

so, you want content that was on different sites that are closing down that cnc-comm doesn't have?

[Tore]

Not exactly sites that are closing down, I just want to "take" some content or ideas from old sites.

[pichorra]

We need save te content before they close the site, there have mutch goods things, i was fonded v1.05b (afk) on that site.

[Tore]

errm, neither Gamespy or Planet CnC is closing, just their sub sites like CnC2SW or The Obelisk, but don't worry about CnC2SW. As far as I understood it, Nyerguds will move that site here....one day...

[Ferret]

ah, ok. i understand now.

I didn't mean that you should state the obvious ones and RA Archive isn't really "forgotten" :/

[Irony]

I just took rips of the following sites

 

cnc2sw

ra2sw

obelisk

cncwiki

 

[Nyerguds]

cnc2sw is on my hard disk, including the news DB

 

stumbled upon this site today:

http://redalert.svendsens.net/

http://redalert.svendsens.net/

Doesn't seem to contain any new/interesting stuff, but is overall an easy-to-browse database suitable for RA newbies.

[Nyerguds]

oh, about the GS sites, I got an email that they're delaying the closure for another month.

 

Anyway, there's also C&C Flash, but I'm not sure it's worth saving. Frank Klepacki's site has the exact same thing with higher quality tracks anyway.

[Irony]

I don't have the facilities to automatically rip flash based sites, so I can't do the C&C Flash one 

[Nyerguds]

What's so hard about looking into the code and seeing which swf it links to?

 

Though I guess it won't be so easy to figure out the actual urls for the tracks it loads...

 

Oh, and I've never automatically downloaded a site in my life, mkay? Manual touch ftw

[Irony]

Well if I had the time I could run through with an audio catcher and play each of the files, but I don't have the time to do that at the moment

[Nyerguds]

lol, I'd just look at the URLs in my Opera cache, and then download the files directly

You will revive "bowser wars!" 

im waithing to see.

[Nyerguds]

Not really, you can do the same with IE6.

[Irony]

But why would you

[Nyerguds]

To rip the higher quality music from frank's site?
