Greetings all.
I'll preface this thread by making it clear what this thread is not intended to be, before getting into the meat of the matter:
This is not a request for you lot to do my job for me. I realise that there is still a lot of work for me to do regarding content population within the Archive, and I'm slowly plugging away at it as my time allows me to. I still have almost 500 files still to upload to the Archive - not counting raw file extracts I have yet to re-organise and upload for the community. There is, frankly, a lot of work to still be done to get the Archive populated with files.
WITH THAT SAID:
As some of you may, or may not, be aware: the old 405th 4Shared Archive is currently non-operational. All attempts to contact the curator of that particular archive have, as of yet, met with failure, and at this point it's looking more and more likely that whatever content was hosted on the 4Shared Archive is lost.
This is where you, the community, comes in.
As the 405th Archive becomes more populated, we're going to see more files from the 4Shared Archive on our own servers. However, there are certain files that I, personally, don't have in my backlog for upload. Therefore, this is my appeal to the 405th Community:
I need you, the community, to work together to source any and all 'lost' files not on our own 405th Archive. As I plug away at clearing my own backlog of files to upload, the pool of 'lost' content will become smaller, but there will still be content I'm unable to upload due to not having it myself. All modellers and unfolders are therefore encouraged to review their own archives against the 405th Archive and notify me of any 'missing' files that I haven't uploaded. This also applies to current files being created within the community: put simply, if it's not up on the Archive, please let me know. Either I have it and have yet to upload it, or I don't and it needs to be sourced.
This project is not intended to supersede the 'Pepakura Requests' topic - requests will not be fulfilled in this thread. If you have a REQUEST, please make it in the relevant thread. However, if you do have a file not currently uploaded, and you think it should be, let me know and I'll do what I can for you.
