Old SGTA-Forum download link

[lazydot]

Hey guys,

as some of you know, I did a mirror copy of the old SGTA forum, 1 week before our childish friend took them offline.
All guides, chats, discussions are available. The newest content, like trolling posts/replays/recruitment from the very last week is not there, because before I could update 2nd mirror copy, it was taken offline.

Please download only few copies of it (Vallu/Kawa/Den/whoever else is interested in restoring old content) because its free service and I'm not sure, how they will handle it, if to many of you guys will start download.

EDIT: uh, looks like I missed a part of it myself, basically, open "index.html" in your browser, then navigate to whatever section you like, you get error message like this: http://sgta.forumfree.it/?f=10920965 with a google cache link like this: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A//sgta.forumfree.it/?f=10920965

And so on. In some cases there will be no cached version of the content. I will upload entire forum-archive again, I took few parts, which I thought were not relevant out, maybe its why they are causing problems.

P.P.S.: I created a fake cookie file to download the content previously, I guess I will have to upload that faked cookie file too and do a short guide how to re-inject it in your browser before you could use the forum because every end-link section is "protected" by that cookie.

Thanks Lazy.

So this doesn't work 100%? When trying to access any of the topics, sooner or later, I get his error http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A//sgta.forumfree.it/?f=10482638
Never done this before so might just be me doing something wrong?

Yeah same here. Been bugging me a while now

Ok, I try to explain again, what I meant with that cookie and stuff.
Forum and certain topics were protected by a user name/password authentication, if it was successful, server would create and send a cookie file, which basically says "this user may access any topic", I had to create such a cookie file to be able to download the forum.

Some of the downloaded sites/topics etc require a valid cookie file, otherwise they show something else but the content is still within the files, if you open it in an editor, its still there and you can read it, in a browser, you will see some strange stuff instead if the "authentication" has failed, which you shall not need in the first place.

Anyway, I will try to play around with it and try to inject a cookie and show whether it will solve the issues.
As I have downloaded it and tested it everything was OK, but it was primarily because of my browser still had that magic cookie.
I will create a guide how to view this without editor, after I've figured out how to do it myself.

Had to find the text I have posted ages ago, html in the archive works only in EDITOR, so you need to use GREP or something like window search function for text if you want to find something, then just open the mentioned file in firefox and you will have the content, whereas you would not be able without some more complex cookie-session-injection hack to click on that link and view the content from there.

Its not that comfortable, but basically if you know what you are looking for and to lazy to click every god damn link, you can find everything I backed up.
