Save The OverGrow FAQs...

[turtle420]

Hello guys,

I had an idea (Oh noooo!!!)...
I was reading over this page:::
http://www.hg420.com/showthread.php?t=12320

Now, the guy was speaking with bloodshot420 (I think he's our same bloodshot420)... he says you can use gOOgle's cache to retrive sites...

Sooo... I was thinking... strength in numbers, right? Well, why don't we divide between willing participants the task of saving the OverGrow FAQs from gOOgle's cache?

Once we've all got things compiled, we can upload all files to a common xDrive.com account (thanks Trichome... ), and create one big ZIP with all the FAQs. Text. No images... I think.

Ok, I'm open to suggestions. If anybody wants to chime in, I suggest you copy/paste OverGrow's FAQ SiteMap below, and outline what section are you willing to copy.

I'm not expecting super Joy To The World holding-hands kind of stuff here, but if people want to help, I think it's a worthwhile thing.

NOTE#1: To my knowledge, I don't know how to retrive images from gOOgle's cache of OverGrow pages... if anybody knows, please provide feedback on how to do it.

NOTE#2: I'll provide instructions below, as to how I'm saving OG's FAQ pages.

Thanks for your time guys, I hope this helps.

SAVING THE FAQs:
1. Go to gOOgle, to a search for:::
+++inurl:www.overgrow.com/faq/sitemap.php+++
this will bring up 1 hit from gOOgle... the link won't work (OverGrow is down!), you have to click on the "Cached" link.
2. That will open up OverGrow's FAQ SiteMap page... there you have what I copy/pasted above
3. When you decide what part of the FAQ you'd like to save, right-click on the link (Example: "Sexing"), and select ""Copy Link Address" or something similar (depends on your browser).
4. Now, go back to gOOgle, and type +++ inurl:ADDRESSpaste +++
You have to remove the +++ http:// +++ part from the address. So, for the "Sexing" part of the FAQ, I copied +++ http://www.overgrow.com/growfaq/t169 +++ and removed the +http://+ and ended up with:
+++ inurl:www.overgrow.com/growfaq/t169 +++
5. No you can re-search gOOgle with that, and it will display a one hit page... again, select the "Cached" from gOOgle, and you have the FAQ!!!

NOTE#3: Some FAQ sections have subsections... so maybe, you have to dig two levels before reaching "TEXT".

NOTE#4: I don't know if it'd be best to save the FAQs as text, or as html. In any event, I made a folder in my desktop just for this, and I'm dumping the .html files in the folder, and making a long-ass Word document of the "text".

Ok guys, I'm really sorry for making such a long-ass post, but, if you want to help, please do. It'd be good if everybody kept up-to-date in this thread as to their "progress"... again, I think the goal of having one big ZIP file with all of OverGrow's FAQs would be great.

Thanks for your time and cooperation,
Best regards, your clone-less buddy,

Good idea turtle, I've been lost w/o Overgrow as a resource. Anyone know what is going on with them? They've gone down before but never this long

[SittinStoney420]

ill do cloning for now as i dont have alot of time, but i really like this idea, maybe if someone has webspace we could make a small site with just the overgrow faqs. Ill create a cloning folder and upload it to trichs X-Drive, i forgot his e-mail and pass tho. Ill make them html files, and then into a zip.

That sounds great!

That's what I mean... you don't have "alot of time"... FINE! Me neither! but, you take a little piece, and I take another little one, and slowly but surely, we'll end up with a very nice FAQ copy!

Thanks SittinStoney!

I was thinking exactly what you're thinking about Trich's X-Drive,... at any event, we can open up a new account for a while.

To other members: We're not going to be assholes and not provide the finished FAQ to non-contributing members, ALL members will get this impromptu-FAQ, but it'd be great if everybody chipped in.

Thanks guys,

Ron Bennet has a Sticky on top of many forums... it explains what happened to OG. Something along the lines of the servers being confiscated for reasons OTHER than OverGrow.com... apparently, the site was a casualty of war in this...

[scobbie]

turtle what ever you need me to do im a willing worker lol good idea mate show me the way and i will get on to it

[SittinStoney420]

Scobbie, just choose a topic, make a folder of HTML's, and zip it. Then upload it to trichs X-Drive. Ill create a folder on the X-Drive For them.

yo... I am the same bloodshot everywhere...

from what i recently understand, the servers are actually down... but maybe not in police custoday... the same server, with the same IP has ports open for other services, just not port 80 (http - web server).. so, if this RC guy, the owner, had any sense at all, he would have some off-site backups.. after all - this was the mans life (I think)... either way with over 100K members, you cant let them all down.

I'm thining it will come back - sometime in the future... i'll be watching for it. For sure - someone has some of the important info - they are probably just layin' low. But I wont stop you from gathering all the info from the cache - there are a lot of people doing it... HG420 should have a healthy collection soon. But RC MUST have a backup somewhere... the first problem is gettin' him outta the hole... then maybe he can post something, and we can hear it from the horses mouth.

gotta run - peace

How can this be done? Google's cache simply directs toward the site.
