It was more like 'this has already been done, nobody's going to care' which was probably more accurate at the time when the overall audience was smaller and more static. http://polsy.org.uk/lp/reservations.txt I'm sure Spirit Armor will come back for Sakura Wars 2, 3, 4 and 5 someday

I remember someone else had that problem a number of months back but I'm not sure if they solved it. There's nothing unusual about the rss feed itself (I'm assuming it's the cygnustm.net one)

https://www.youtube.com/music_policies they have a page, if you have a particular song in mind, though the search is ordered by 'popularity' instead of the closest match to the song title you put in for some reason.

lohli posted:While writing this I noticed the smilies you were using that were hosted on mazeguy.net don't seem to be loading for me on SA, though they worked fine on the test post, added filenames just incase it's not just me. Yeah, those aren't going to work on SA because SA requires everything to be https now, and https://www.mazeguy.net/angry/grumpy.gif (eg) doesn't work.

The maximum perpage is the default 40 anyway so you can't get any mileage out of adjusting that. Half the let's play archiving script is dedicated to figuring out which bits you don't want, if you just want everything you basically just want to download every page of the thread by whatever method. Worth noting that whatever it is will need to know your SA login cookie because LP is closed to the public currently.

Well, baldurk has the archives upgrade in any case. Threads aren't supposed to vanish into the void entirely when they get archived but that's why archiving proper is still switched off. I don't expect it'll go back on until they're really sure it's fixed.

Xander77 posted:Ok. So any of the people who go "oh man, I left my LP alone for a year and it got locked - now I'd have to copy-paste everything by hand if I wanted to resume the LP" could ostensibly just ask Baldurk for a copy? The main reason this just wouldn't work is the LP archiving process uses HTML, not bbcode. It's impossible to get the bbcode back out unless you can quote the post and even then not fully (quoted quotes disappear, for one).

Viddler is still alive, and I'm sure they'd love to sell you one of their corporate products. The non-LP videos I uploaded there are still technically available if you know the URL actually but they're entirely non-discoverable so I assume I was just overlooked in the great purge.

Mraagvpeine posted:I could swear I remembered watching an LP of The Unfinished Swan from these forums, but I did not see any trace of it in the archive or the master list. Am I imagining things? I'm pretty sure there wasn't an actual individual thread, but that doesn't rule out the numerous free-for-all threads where it would probably fit better considering how short it is.

Psycho Knight posted:I still really enjoy them, but it's more as a background noise now rather than a dedicated viewing experience. GrandmaParty posted:I honestly try to structure my lps as a podcast where I let you know if something interesting happens. This is pretty much how streaming works and I wonder if the shift towards streaming is because viewers increasingly don't have the time/inclination to pay attention (not that there's a shortage of podcast-type LPs on youtube either)

Sally posted:I think it might have been a bigger deal back in the day when LP was higher traffic and there was a greater emphasis on cutting down on white noise posting. Weirdly I don't think that was considered an issue - Spirit Armor's Sakura Wars thread got bumped a lot but nobody was actually punished for it, though slowbeef did close the thread a couple of times with a 'OP you can reopen if you have more content' post. What was (at one point) explicitly punishable was the opposite problem; people just posting 'yay! an update!'.

There's certainly more "off topic" (by an overly strict definition) things on the subforum than a series of videos where you play the game through from the start, no cutscene skipping, so I wouldn't worry about that.

ultrafilter posted:archive.org has videos for the LPs that were video only, but do they have anything from screenshot or hybrid LPs? And if so, how do you find it? The LP archive has always taken copies of images instead of linking to the original for exactly this reason (any that are missing were likely missing at the time of archiving, which could easily happen with waffleimages) In the distant past the archiver also used to download Google Videos, but that was when video hosting was limited to such small/low-quality files that it was viable.

Yeah, that's the only saga-ish material I can remember off the top of my head, there were definitely people further in the past who showed up saying 'I want to LP this weird sex game' and persisted past the immediate 'absolutely not' but it wasn't really Content.

Xerophyte posted:That said: frankly, for the sort of full screen video clip shown in two posts above, you'd ideally just use a video format. I'm not really sure how the forums handle webm/mp4/etc embedding, I know there was talk of img tags making the loop soundlessly like it does with animated images but I have no idea if Jeffrey went with that or not. Any mp4, webm or gifv link in a post will automatically be converted to a <video> embed (by javascript after the page loads), but if you want it to loop you have to host it on imgur because there's a special exception to make that happen (and likewise, you can't make it not happen if you host on there)

Coolguye posted:the roofies thing MIGHT have been best friend skull instead, who got like 3/4ths of the way through a risk of rain LP and then also self-incriminated as a rapist. Doesn't seem like it, he tweeted on a private account that he got to third base non-consensually then when someone brought it up publically months later he said oh, it turned out it was actually consensual, I just hadn't asked her at the time. Which I guess is why the perma message is vague, but it's still a perma.

Commander Keene posted:I know the actual forum archiving is broken, but the forums inactivity auto thread lock seems to have been in effect as recently as 2018, because I have a Wild Arms LP thread that's locked, and I didn't do it. Also like a good two-thirds of Id's LPs were from before 2014, so my question still stands. Regular users can't do anything to threads that are archived or pre-archiving-locked (which yeah was a process left active until 2018), so that would only be his three most recent threads.

I'm discovering his two piss threads in LP (as 'Urine Philosopher' and 'Richard Gamingololo') got vanished by the archiving issue due to being posted in mid-2014, great loss. Pretty sure they'd been gassed anyway.

Waffleman_ posted:I remember when Les Beardly did those Super Mario World romhack Retsus which were really just cyberbullying children, those are kind of a rough watch nowadays To be fair that was most of retsupurae, that was the whole point of it. Like, not to target children specifically but if you're aiming at videos which are technically incompetent and/or have terrible commentary that's just going to happen. I think even at the time people were aware enough to say 'I'm glad youtube wasn't around when I was a kid'.
