I remember a long time ago somehow the entire image gallery was lost and every member lost everything in their image galleries, and had to start from scratch.

However I remember Crimson saying that the images weren't actually lost, just their links. That is, if we knew the URLs we could still access the images.

That means, theoretically, those old images are still stored somewhere on the n00bstories webspace today (unless Crimson deleted them all). If they are, I was wondering, is there ANY way to retrieve the links of the old images (even if you wouldn't be able to determine who uploaded the image)? [Could you run some databasing or indexing program to find the images]?

I had some very early Renegade and PlanetSide images uploaded to n00bstories which used to be saved to my hard drive also. I thought it would be cool to share them with others (I'm sure others would like to do the same with thier lost images). However, I lost them when my computer crashed and I had to reformat.

I'm sure that if there was any way to retrieve these image links, I would scour through them all until I found the ones that I uploaded. I'm sure plenty others would do the same.

If this is actually a possibiliity it would be great to know.

Thanks.

Yes, I still have the images and there is NO WAY to know who originally uploaded them. If you have the ID numbers I could add them back into your gallery but without that there are literally thousands of misplaced images to search through.

I'm the bawss.

I think the ID numbers got mixed up because some of the old stories have missing images.

The only thing I can think of is just to put up a page of links leading to each picture and then just have people sift through them. Sorting by size might help a bit. People could remember if they are looking for screenshots which would have large dimensions.

On the other hand, I'm thinking that this is a terrible idea because:
A. It would take forever.
B. It would slay Crimson's bandwidth.

Bandwidth isn't a problem... but it happened so long ago that hardly anyone even cares.

I had a few screenshots in my gallery which I haven't been able to locate in my file backups.

A few were from the beta days as I recall.

I would love to find some of my old images, and it's not like I have anything better to do in a day rather than sift through thousands of images. I'd probably stumble across some nice ones anyways.

whoa.

Re: the post above - LMAO Laughing

Count me in anyway... I've got a few pictures left there... not that important but since I lost all other early screenshots in my harddisk (thanks to my sister...) I would love to sift through thousands of images to see if I can find my stuff. If not, well... I'll stumble across some nice pictures anyway.

I'd just like to see what was on n00bstories. It's like a time capsule. Without any names associated with the images no one could be angry.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking as well. Kind of see inside the minds of some of the renegade players. Probably see a few porn pictures, but you could never tell whose they were. Be fun to look through.

Crimson - Maybe you could make them accessible so people could look through them, and if some people want to keep what they find regardless of who posted them they could save them. There could be some irreplaceable images in there Smile

How many boxes do you have, Crimson?

I know this is kinda off topic, but I didn't want to start a new topic for it.

I found some of my old image URL's around the n00bstory forums. It's really nice to look bad at old things. I found this:
http://www.n00bstories.com/image.view.php?id=1092347042

My first map in gmax for renegade a few years ago. It's cool to see how I came from that to what I can do now.

I hope crimson does something like make a huge gallery page of lost images.

Even if they were just all put together on a page, it would be fun to look through them sometime. Doesn't really matter if we know who uploaded them or not, if we recognize any we'll know if it's ours.
