It's an incentive to sign up and hand over your cash.

 

[Darin]

And I refuse. IGN is full of ****.

 

[Jordan]

IGN? None of those videos have anything to do with IGN. They were hosted on FilePlanet until they got deleted.

 

[Jpec07]

Hmm, I don't suppose the forums leave room for a couple gigabytes of video to be stored on the server, huh?

 

[Jordan]

There is, but I was saving space and bandwidth by having the files on there until FilePlanet recently removed them. I didn't have copies of the files so I can't put them on my server now.

 

[Jpec07]

Meh, oh well. Maybe they didn't delete them and just sent them over to IGN? That would explain the problem Darin's having...

Also, I'd be willing to bet that Skunkwerx still has the videos hanging around, maybe someone whould ask him (even though he's been inactive here for more than a year)...

When I clicked it, it lead to a IGN membership sign up.

That's extremely strange. Could you please give me the link to the page that it is sending you to?

 

[SS2]

Maybe the redirects were somehow tampered with?

 

[Jpec07]

It's right here
Apparently what happened was that the host for the videos merged with IGN, and so now you have to be a member of IGN to access those files (Jordan, your account probably still works, you might try downloading them onto the server...)

 

[SS2]

Well my theory is squashed.

Hmmm...I'm taken to a different page that says the files cannot be found on FilePlanet. A search for the files confirms that they are no longer there.

 

[Jpec07]

that's sad, I guess we could just contact skunkwerx and see if he'd send you the vids to host here...

Sorry, I didn't check this thread too often. But the link Jpec07 gave you in Post #11 was the link I got.

Hi there guys.

Since the death of granturismo.com. I have been occasionally lurking these boards.

Re: videos.
The only video file that has survived and is still available for re-upload is the GTPLANET custom MONTAGE (48megs). All videos/screenshots were originally captured, edited and uploaded exclusively for granturismospeed and gtplanet and granturismo.com respectively. Unfortunately, do in part to other pet projects, all other captures/screenshots are gone.

However, if gtplanet's current KING ADMIN wishes to PM me, we can possibley arrange for me to re-upload the montage video and also arrange for me to provide videos and screenshots of GT4 at E3 coming up in May 2004. (free of charge of course)

Yes, I'll look forward to the rearrangement and looking, staring and drooling over the video and images.

Check your PM's, skunk!
