I Wanna See Your CiV.1 Saved Games!

Nice work on the animation.

for some reason
ALL '*.sav' files in forum
are REMOVED ( ... by forum -soft or -administration ... ).

very discouraging.

I believe that after a certain period of not being downloaded a file gets deleted.

the *.sav 's
not the *.txt 's?

the txt 's are still there.

it makes no sense to upload it to rapidshare megaupload etc.
because those sites reap uploads after a certain time too (inactivity or else).

a website would be a good host for savegames for example
but free website hosters
reap websites like the filehosters files and so on.

the best would be if civfanatics forum
would keep those few small civDOS savegames we post at server
and
would recognize civDOS files as UPLOADS = *.map, *.sve

but nobody can upload *.map, *.sve files
at this (civ) forum as *.map, *.sve -
as that 'WHAT iT iS" = civDOS saves.

You can add them together as a zip file.

that won't solve the problem with the files already reaped here.
and:
who will know what happens next to zip-files (here)?

Well, you know, if nobody is interested enough to download a file it's really quite normal to delete it as it's only taking up HDD space.

Oh well, THAT wasn't the reason back in 2006 - "save HD space"
I guess it was just an instinctless button-push by some admin / moderator / technical assistant in the conversion process from an older to a newer forum software.
As usual in such cases, nobody writes about his failures as long as not some 100s of members point the finger on the problem and so the files i did CREATE and UPLOAD and all that §$%&* did (ta-ta-ta-ta) 'disappear' ... that's LIFE (yes, it's that stupid, even 'civilized').
So it's always better to keep back-ups and copies a lifetime yourself (, host your own blog and wiki as long as possible and so on).

So... any luck with hosting the old files anyone?
