Reviving. Can it even be possible?

oh well..

i knew some crap like this was gonna happen...

2 years of lack of darky...

and 2 months of no uploads and "newbs" spamming broken uploads and then being idiots about it...

congrats everyone..

Hmm could anyone that got all the files pack it into 1 folder and perhaps do a torren-T file or put it on a ftp or something and then we could share it ? Then not all the stuff would be killed off..
But still i find it impressive that there has been
5148289 hits on this site ...
Well gg..

moving everything will still make the site need space.

moving all files and set it up with the resource section hive has, IS possible. However there are so many resources that suck and so many that doesn't work. But it is possible to import them and let them require validation.

I can actually save anything but Darkys crappy scripts.

I can save the topics, posts, users, pms, etc.. But i will have to make an import script for resources.

I am trying to make my resource section like wc3s' look for your self

http://hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/

actually..that system looks alot better than darky's....looks much cleaner and i like that approved,unapproved etc thing....

I think the best thing to do would be to have a few people go through all the resources

delete all the poo, which would include OLD maps that have no been updated in X time, dozens of repeats of maps, just leave the newest, shitty skins/models, and overly large 1.5mb ones, old outdated tools, etc.

I am sure it would not take a few ppl too long(as in a few days of hard work) to purge all the crap resources

this would clear out a good bit I think

for example, say I wanted an ice mage skin, so I search for "Ice" or something like that

I am sure a good 50 skins would come up, 45 of which are just terrible, and 5 good ones that i can choose from

then later down the road, once all the remaining resources are put at the hive, have a submission system, where everyday a mod goes through the resources, and accepts them, or sends a pm to the creator y it was not accepted, and this could keep crap out, as well as when a new version .455c us uploaded, the old version .455b can be removed, and so forth

this would keep everything to a minimum, and I am sure a lot of crap could be removed, while still keeping the good stuff

cuz lets face it, there is a lot of crap, a lot more crap then there is good stuff, from years of recolors, etc.

I think this can be done, but it will take a lot of work, gl, cheers

*the one thing I don't like about the hive is there is no place to upload spells

i would be willing to help undergo purging of the bad resources here...but just the models...but im an asshole...

thus id delete peoples work only relying on my view and not respecting others...which is horrible...

i honestly thing if you are going to purge you hire up some respectable people who KNOW the model rules or other areas to clean.

people like olofmoleman for model section..

and..well..a whole lot of other people.. but most of them dwell at wc3c.

honestly i love this website but its time to let it die, wc3 is at its final stages in the modding community with so little new thing sbeing introduced the point of this site has totally been lost... i say take it for what it was appreciate what it has done and let it go lets move on to something new now...i mean unless we see some great push to resuurect this game from a newly reformed modding community this site is pointless sad to say

great efforts, great work lets move on now kiddies a new age has started and new rts's are here

well... damn, nice work Ralle, but I'm gonna miss this site...
And get rid of all my models... I hate them now lol...
Iunno, I might just do private projects from now on...
I'm not sure what happens now, I think I'll visit the Hive from time to time, but I may not post...

I think I'm done for a while though, so I probably won't see a lot of you here for a bit...

Bye?

//ends final post at wc3s...?

i got rid of my old models ages ago..

i just joined hive due to this..

but hive is scary..its like a young brother to wc3c..the settings are ...like wc3c.. o.0

Im getting some mixed signals here...need to know what we need cleared, saying this site cant be helped or saying alls good but want our opinions anyway?

We need keep wc... alive (( so let us do what we must do ((

this website end was writen long ago, hosting 7GB on 500mb available webspace is just crazy, this website and darky were lucky enough to have it exist so long!
It's time as i've said in my previous post to move the new and good resources except AI, JASS, Art to the hive website and just let this website die! The only way this website (wc3sear.ch)could possibly revive other way is for Darky to pay for an additional 7GB web space which considering Darky absence and the cost for such big webspace is to put it easy not possible!
So the way it should be is to transfer all the new and quality resources to the hive and delete the crazy 1.5mb models, crappy models, skins and icons as well as delete the old and crappy maps!

i say get rid of the wow models, if people want them so much they can do it themselfs and its only in good terms that the people that use them SHOULD OWN Wow.

What ever happens this site name must stay (www.wc3sear.ch). A lot of people have added it to their maps and a lot of newbs want to start modding after they see all the cool stuff you can do. Suddenly changing the addres to hiveworkshopresourceshiveshop.....what.com? is a bad idea. Or then have the wc3sear.ch work as a redirecter to the hive site, which i must admit looks nice.

If you'll ever need me, I could go and check the quality of spells :> I met many spells on this site that are... erm... poor
