Official Arcanum website has been taken down?

I think my version is the best

It's very recent and I'm not aware of any modification to the site since the save. Saved with SpiderZilla (HTTrack). Checked for correct (relative) links, and the only bad ones are (yeah, I'm lazy to fix them):

/us/contest/index.html (top frame src, not important)
/us/news/news-archive.html (something like arcanum.sierra.com/throneofdarkness)
/us/world/index.html (top frame src, not important)
(some files contains links to sierra's privacy policy and such: news-overview.html, support-supportmenu.html, top.html)

/us/media/media-movies.html (ftp.sierra.com/arcanum/videos/si_arcanum_trailer_300k.wmv)
/us/media/media-soundtrack.html (ftp.sierra.com/pub/sierra/arcanum/other/ *.mp3; music)
/us/support/support-supportmenu.html (ftp3.sierra.com/pub/patches/pc/arcanum_ * _1074.exe)

(and the commented theme pack that httrack didn't save)
(and the demo that wasn't located at sierra.com)

Dunno why, I can download it, and it's good.
I renamed it if the underscores cause problems; http://uran.extra.hu/tmp/sierra.zip

 

"An Unfortunate Affair" has been preserved!
This pleases me.

I also have an HTTrack download of the site. It seems to have everything apart from the latter pages of the story. Let me know if you still need anything.

It seems that TA is sucking up all the remnants of Arcanum. So everyone be prepared and back up DoA and GameBanshee (are there any others?).

The site being off might not be permanent. This from the German Sierra site:
The side www.sierra arcanum.de is temporarily not attainable because of maintenance work. Actualization date: 10-08-2006

 

I downloaded that program, and set it to work on the atari ToEE page, the Banshee one and DoA, but for some reason it seems to want to download A LOT of atari's forums.

And DU, have we really got the ToEE page here somewhere? If so, where? If not, I could edit your post and no one will know once you've removed this part of mine.

 

Just out of curiosity, what will you be doing Richard?
(Have I missed something?)

Mathboy, how do we access the various backed up pages? (Excluding the news on the front page).
Perhaps you could add them to the links section, unless they are already there somewhere and I just can't find them.

 

I haven't uploaded the other pages yet. As long as they don't go offline, I don't see any big hurry, and the page-owner might be a bit unhappy that we are borrowing his pages and stealing ad-money from him.

 

I meant only the older ones e.g. Troika and Sierra. I was just thinking that when they scroll off the bottom of the news page there won't be any links for them.

 

Oh, you can find the Troika one up on the weird menu thing here in the forum (on the top of the site, saying "House of the Lords" in rusty metal letters), if you can't find it, just search the page for "Troika Games" without the "" using your browser's built in search thing (press F3). The Arcanum one will have to wait until DU feels like adding it as I don't know many words of HTML.

 

Wait, why do we need ToEE images?

 

Is that Troika Games link new?

Also, it doesn't work for me unless I am logged in.
Strange.

I was thinking that perhaps the (dead) Troika link on the links page out front could be changed to go to the TA Troika archive as I think most people would miss the link in the forum.

 

If you look at the Links page now, you might find that there are links to our mirrors of Sierra's Arcanum site, Troika's site and the official ToEE site (which seems to have gone offline). The only thing we aren't hosting is the movies on the ToEE site, so if somebody is able to get them from the Atari site (they are still online there, it would be good).
