I was feeling nostalgic and examined some of my early posts. Then I ran into this:
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ight=old+games
For some reason, it won't let me download my old games I made even though its clearly there in my post. Some of these games I made as a teenager, and I'm 38 now. I honestly don't wanna lose my early work when I was younger. I'm sure theres a way to get it back, right?
No such file or directory
I get that error on the first post....but the other ones download for me...
Good thing you saved the important files in your backup folder. (j/k)
This site has been moved a few times over the years.... What you see is what you get.
Rats. Cause I lost those files due to a harddrive failure some years ago.
AND - Make note - I think we're going to purge some older posts... 2004 would probably be considered older...
As I mentioned, some of the zip files in that thread are OK.

EDIT: One of the main reasons we might purge older posts is to FIX this duplicate post issue.
Have you tried searching the Wayback machine?Quote:

I guess you have to track down the 50+ people who have downloaded it, and maybe someone still has the zip or expanded zip hanging around somewhere. I know I have a lot of old machines, and old code hanging around, with downloads of other users code from the forums, but I'm sure I don't have these, as it isn't likely I came across them since I joined this forum over 8 years after that post.
Its highly unlikely. It was 16 years ago since I posted what was at the time my old projects.
