Video Game Archival Autism / TCRF / Jul / Sonic Retro / And More - Harvest Troon: Friends of Byuu-Near-al town

[Mister Eveready]

Further, what does he mean he didn't read the licence?

“I” isn’t referring to himself. He’s pretending to be Le Evil KF User in that post.

Also, said licence prohibits the introduction of technical measures to prevent sharing.

Sorry to be nitpicky, but that wholesale restriction only applies to people who reuse CC-licensed content, not people who create CC-licensed content. The second group is allowed to impose technological measures but can’t stop anyone from circumventing them. It’s weird, I know, but as RegisteredFlexOffender said, the content is yours if you manage to get past X’s traps. In any case though, X is definitely still violating the spirit of CC-BY.

Anyways, here's the progress report on the archive.

Evidently, I still have a lot left to do.

For comparison, here's TCRF's statistics:

27,932 pages to go!

There is an almost 40-year-old power-hungry, ban-happy man behind that profile pic who posts likes he's a teen girl.

Is this how he sees himself or something!?

Holy shit, Josh is not living in his head rent-free anymore. He's straight up paying him to stay in there.

That's awesome to hear! So only 27k pages out of 31k or 728k?

Out of 31k. The 728k is including shit like user pages, user talk pages, article talk pages, likely templates/categories. I'm guessing there's likely actually more than 31k total actual content pages given how much stuff is in other namespaces like Development, Prerelease, Bugs, Proto, Notes, etc. I have no real idea if this is the case, but I imagine namespaces that aren't the "Main" namespace may be counted under the 728k and not the 31k

xkeeper if you're reading this post, go fuck yourself

 

[gaysexenjoyer]

I hate to be devil's advocate, but to be fair in this case he's literally running a single script, and not much more. Unlike the IP ban shit he's actually handling this one pretty normally all things considered, the script being run is a generic mediawiki maintenance script. In fact he even made bsky post (A) making fun of this thread for this sort of claim. That said the timing is really suspicious, and I'm sure he wouldn't have gotten the idea without getting assfucked by the 'teens almost a month ago.


Archived thread.


ALSO ALSO THIS FUCKER USES KF AND HE JUST CONFIRMED IT:
View attachment 7585034
X IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMUG, SMART, AND RIGHT WHY DON'T YOU MAKE AN ACCOUNT AND PROVE US WRONG?

>"in order to.. uh... idk but i'm sure it's evil/nefarious"

In order to... wipe out the exact kind of accounts used by the Sharty to rape you in the ass less than a month ago. Feigning ignorance over the most blatantly obvious conclusion makes you look like a retard, dude, not your opponents.

This entire drama stemmed from you behaving in this exact manner, banning people from no-no sites because you had a bug up your ass that day, quintupling down, then adding a gloating number-counter that you then manually changed once people started laughing at you. For fucks sake man, you're seethe-watching your own thread on KF and making le ebic memes about how right you are.

Why are you acting like it's some nonsensical out-there idea that you could be petty and gay enough to wipe someone's activity and then ban them for no activity? Redditors use the same strategy constantly, they ban/remove all the moderators of a subreddit they don't like and then ban the subreddit "for being unmoderated".

You're a power-tripping faggot, don't pretend you're ~above~ the default power-tripping faggot strategy.

Nitpick away, if I'm mistaken on something I want to be corrected. But he isn't the creator of the content. Contributors to the site are (of which he's only one of). The site in this case is the one using the content and I believe it applies.

In any case, he's actively abusing Creative Commons. Hell, he's using more resource to prevent the archivers than it would take to let them do their job.

 

[Treff Matthiesen]

X is desperate to keep control of video game archival. And he would have kept that control for much longer if he hadn't spread his faggotry everywhere on the wiki.

 

[RegisteredFlexOffender]

There's no moral defence of this. Completely against the spirit of Creative Commons movement and the good faith of contributors. He's an unstable individual who is creating a real risk of this content being lost and actively working against measures to secure it.

exactly. there's no moral and ethic reason to block shit like archive.org. Anyone admin like xykreeper who blocks archive.org is a moron who is hampering preservation. blocking kiwifarmers too. what was he thinking? perhaps he confused bleach with estrogen

he's doing so to prevent archiving and sharing of the information. Which the licence declares legitimate uses

my point is that cc-by is a legal framework that does not have an understanding of technical controls. It is not a license violation to limit cc-by hosted content through technical controls but is through legal methods. Otherwise, a 5 minute downtime for a website is a license violation. or blocking a botnet. that's a limitation of cc-by. it activates once someone gets your content and it makes no mention of the cyerspace When xykreeper is doing is the fucking most retarded shit i've ever seen an admin to. it's not a cc-by violation, but that doesn't make it any less retarded. he needs to knock his shit off. sorry, it's a bit of semantics, but i hope this makes sense.

i'm reminded of that princess crown bullshit where the original project had a gpl license and it was picked up by another hacker. the original guy was pissed and retroactively changed the license, but that's not how lienses work. once a piece of work is licensed, the work's license for that snapshot of time is active, no matter how much you whine or seethe or if the work is restricted. adolf fucking hitler can come out of the grave and use your gpl or cc-by work and can drink liberal tears because they can't do anything about it if he complies with the license.

I've noticed Pride Month is over, but the flags are still present on the TCRF logo. Knowing Xkeeper's stubborn nature, it's likely he's going to leave it up indefinitely to "own the chuds". Surely, this won't backfire and force him to ban more people from his site... right?

In that case, how will TCRF have a Christmas or New Year's Eve logo?

 

[Samuel Fuller]

even between versions of unreal you find the newer ones incapable of things the previous version had no problem with. the arkham asylum remaster is a good example, the lighting is just awful compared to the original release

The Arkham games were on such a heavily customised version of Unreal Engine 3.5 that a simple port to UE 4 meant dropping the customizations, since the team doing the remaster was an outside team and had no access to the main Rocksteady team, as they were busy with making Arkham Knight.

Return to Arkham isn't a fair test-case for how moving from one version of UE to another usually goes.

That is in th end. Plenty of pro-queer people realise tha transphobia is repackaged homophobia, bu that is due to both being reactions to human actions that defy human biology. Human babies are the results of ducks going to China, but whether a human has a duck or China depends on the Y chromosome that affects tonnes of things that no amount of stereotypes, surgery, or chemistry can alter. You can only defy that order by changing the definition, hence why both omosexuality and transgenderism are based on feelings instead of physical biology.

Idk if your keyboard is malfunctioning, or are you missing some fingers?

Being a fag doesn't defy human biology or is it based on feelings. What the fuck is this pseudo-science garbage? Sure, it's basically a genetic dead-end and it doesn't have any biological purpose, but it being documented on many mammal and bird species proves that it's pretty much just an oddity of nature, if anything else.

Being a tranny does not happen in any species other than humans, and because it's also not a thing in any other social species that are known to display instances of mental illness and anti-social behaviors (apes, elephants, cetaceans, corvids, etc) shows you that it's a very different thing altogether. It's always either narcissistic personality disorder, autism, sexual abuse trauma, or a combination of those. Sure, those things can be considered "natural" (or expected to exist), but the desire to crossdress is a symptom, not something that's good and natural. If anything, it's cause for concern.

What not enough people realize is that dozens of Subreddits and Discord servers do that already. They either wait until summer's over to take down the pride banners (because "summer is pride season. uwu") or they straight-up never take them down.

People making their whole identity out of this shit, that's the problem. I like to fuck pussy, but if I tell the whole game lobby they call me a troll. If I tell them I fuck butts they call me brave and make me a moderator.

lemmings committing suicide in mass sounds like a pretty tranny thing to me. too bad its a myth lmao

Huge assumption to think that TCRF will celebrate Christmas or New Year's.

@DevelopmentHistoryWiki I noticed that the article for Bonk's Adventure was taken down. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any pages for the video game section of the site at the moment. What's the plan for adding content to the site, going forward?

I'm only gonna be making articles on the wiki if there's something to be written about their development history. In Bonk's case, I know that there's concept art that surfaced online a few years ago, but I couldn't actually find it, so I just deleted the article. Perhaps later I'll revisit it.

I don't mean this to attack you just because, but you do realize that the whole discussion about setting up a new wiki that's been mixed in the past 40 pages here is because we want all the information on TCRF, right now, hosted by someone other than XYKeeper? It wasn't to host strictly development history that only tangentially relates to the unused content in video games that TCRF specializes in.

If your new wiki site that you're making is not going toward that effort, I question the worth of posting in this thread about it, especially considering what this thread is named, and I'd rather leave it less cluttered for whenever the other wiki-system that's being thrown about is finally gets off the ground. Your wiki may be a good solution for what you want to have hosted on it, and more power to you for setting it up, but your project is not what all of us here have been looking for.

I forgot to share all the stuff I managed to scrape back when this first started popping off. What would be a good filehost to dump the 2GB .zip on? I had around ~58 or so articles archived: 16 just basic HTML snapshots, 42 including the markdown. Each archive includes every article's subpage (including prototype pages), media files (.ogg, .mp3, .mp4, .webm, etc), and hosted files (.zips, .bins, patches, etc). Only thing missing are the original full-sized image files (.jpg, .png, .gif) although smaller-sized copies were cached in the HTML pages. The gifs still work, too, funnily enough. Dunno how useful any of it would be but it'd be nice to know that it wasn't a total waste, and to get it off my hard drive
