The link on the side menu does not work, but the link in the main body of the news/home page does.

A month or so ago, I went through the same panic you did. Thankfully, I checked out the situation and noticed that the NHCS is still complete.

I cant get to it from school.  (BESS Filtering blocks it.)  But I will try to salvage all of the files I can, ZIP them, and distribute them so we Can post them on XFir's OP2 Site (Hint Hint).  We should try to salvage everything we can.

if you can still view the site, then there are files.  just write (or download) a web page capturer.  tell it to take the WHOLE page, but don't follow outside links. I'm gonna try when I get on Unfiltered internet.

Screenshots, that would take up a good bit of storage space. I was talking to xfir last night about the NHCS Forum. If he gets permission from KevinAr18, he could make the NHCS a forum in this very forum. It would be a view only forum and would be just another forum in OUF.

I could ask Kevin if I could have the DB file(s) it uses, and make something of those.

All you need to do is unzip it and start the index.html...

(no media/downloads/mapeditor included though)

No, it was the one from the new haven command site.  I downloaded it a while back, but I never learned how to use it.  (I now use hackers. :) )
