Old GON articles

Unread postby exe3 » 14 Aug 12, 7:53 pm

I was wondering if anyone knew if you can still access the old GON articles, i'm specifically after the two part DayZ interview. Yeah I should've read it at the time but I wasn't much interested in the game back then. Now that i'm playing it i'd like to give the article a read but the links are dead. :(

Edit: Ohh you can't actually read the full story (would help if I read the full post before going off looking) Hrmmm... well at least you can see the discussion around it :p

Yeah I had already found those discussion but I want the articles themselves. :(

I vaguely remember Tim saying in another thread, that they were working on making them available if they could, but no set ETA as to when that will happen.

Edit: Now with link & quote,

If less than a month is a long time for you, I would hate for you to define how long years equate to :P

I honestly couldn't imagine this task having any huge priority to the day to day issues that everyone brings up (such as the Server listing, file library etc), so whilst I am sure it will happen one day, just don't expect that to be a day anytime soon (afaik).

That's about the size of it, unfortunately!

It's a huge task and one that is on our to-do list, but Wordpress and the old CMS are pretty fundamentally incompatible and it would be full of wacky errors if we did a straight dump -> import.

I know that feel bro. <3

Just curious but when you bring the articles back will the formatting on the really really really old articles be fixed? I remember on occasion i'd look at an article from 2007 and the formatting was busted partly because the images weren't coming up.
