As a heads up for the mods and admins, after a friend mentioned having problems with downloading Dune 2, I did some investigating and found a huge number of missing game archives on AB's update pages. Everything else with the updates seems normal, but the download links go to either 404 pages or "empty" (0byte) .ZIP archives. I started taking screenshots when I discovered the first couple missing, but I gave up after about 5.
Thus far, I've found: Dune 2 UFO - Enemy Unknown X-COM Apocalypse Transport Tycoon Deluxe for Windows Master of Magic Airborne Ranger Alien Syndrome Amnesia Anvil of Dawn Bad Blood Bandit Kings of Ancient China Barbie - Super Model Battle Chess for Windows Blood Bowl BloodNet Blues Brothers II - The Jukebox Adventure Bouncing Babies Bumpys Arcade Fantasy California Games II Captain Dynamo The Clue! Cool Spot Countdown Covert Action Dizzy - Magicland Dizzy - Prince of the Yolk Folk Dizzy Bubble Eric the Unready Eternam Faery Tale Adventure 2 - Halls of the Dead Fields of Glory Future Wars - Time Travellers Gemfire Genghis Khan Genghis Khan II - Clan of the Gray Wolf Hero Quest Highway Hunter Innocent Until Caught Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Jurassic Park Kings Bounty L'Empereur Going alphabetically (not including the first few, which are from the Most Popular list), the missing archives seem to stop after the L's. This doesn't really look good to me. |

Yes. Looks like someone either hacked their way thru or simply used old passwords to get in and simply erase the lot. With that been happening today, I hardly have fingers to point to.
I hope that it will teach Kosta to actually allows dissidents to stay around when they clearly are against the system. |

I warned them about this...I thought we should have changed the password. <sigh>
Edit: I just checked out the archives. Most those games that were "Deleted", were uploaded and reviewed by Tom...seems like a personal Vendetta... |

Since their formation they have provided abandonia with 39 reviews. I won't tolerate bashing on the total group. If you are angry with the one who corrupted the archives... That's fine with me. I'm angry myself as well. D.

Hey guys I'm sure I have at least some of the archives that are missing, maybe we should coordinate a "salvage" operation?

Good idea.
I know Romano started on it. We have backups of most of the games though.

Do you even know who are dissidents? You can't say something like that about a group of people you dont even know who are. And whoever deleted those archives must have had a good reason for it. |

I'll remove any post from now on mentioning the dissident thing. In either good or bad words Let's concentrate on mapping the damage and on replacing the archives. Thank you. D.
