HDM Wiki Shutting Down July 5, 2013

[rEsTnPeAcEz]

Not necessarily, HaloMD is growing, but slowly.

[WaeV]

a lot of sites link to HDM for HaloMD

Hmm... you may be able to find cached copies of HDM Wiki on the Wayback Machine.

Yeah, check it out:
http://web.archive.org/web/201207231349 ... /Main_Page

No binary downloads will be hosted there, but offsite mirror links would still work.

We already found a complete backup, someone still has it.

A 25 GB download of the site from 1 year ago? Handy.
Or you can go to the wiki and get whatever info you'd like while it's still up for a little while: http://www.halodemomods.com/

I'm still messing with stuff and transferring the content of significant pages.

If you think a particular page's information should be transferred, mention it here. The main one is the Mod Database page for halo demo / halo trial mods.

You took down the site, so I posted the link. Then you brought the site back up...

[Sparky]

That's correct. Any questions?

Yeah, but the non-archive.org site will only be up for a little while. Your archive.org link will still be there when the real Wiki goes down again.

Yeah, but the non-archive.org site will only be up for a little while. Your archive.org link will still be there when the real Wiki goes down again.

The archive contains a rip of some of the files in the files directories. It does not have any of the pages except probably linked files from the "All Files" page, and it's from June 2012 I think.

Now, HDM came around about the time that I was falling out of modding, so I'm not all too attached to it, but I remember the time when all the mods were on MGM home page (along with the hex) and fonzie's modding pack was stickied. We've probably reached too much stuff for Monoman to be capable of hosting it all at this point especially with his focus on other things, but I liked being able to stay on one site.

Monoman can apparently afford to host quite a bit of stuff somehow. There's a server for running the MD lobby, a server for running the MD chat, one for the MD mod database and MD itself which transfers tons of bandwidth, and whatever else.

Halo 2 on Windows for example is truly dead, because they took off the master server and no one is on it anymore.

That's not true, i play Halo 2 on PC a lot, online, lots of servers, also many full ones.
