  • Gamesnet files

    From Janis Kracht@1:261/38 to All on Tue Nov 1 20:28:22 2011
    Hello All!

    I've deleted all the Gamesnet files on filegate.net.

    Some of them kept coming up with false-positives on newer virus testing programs, so rather than go through all that crap, I just decided to kill them all. They are such old files anyway.

    Just in case anyone wonders where the files are.. :)

    There's no way to easily get rid of all those files across the whole of the FileGate distribution so I leave it to each sysop as to whether he or she wants
    to kill them or not, of course.

    The IFDC FileGate Home Gamesnet pages now simply have links to the windows win_games pages and lnx4games, etc. pages.

    Take care,
    Janis

    I had lot of the them until for about 2-3 months ago where my old IDE 300G harddisk got dead with files from before year 2007 got lost and here was all my
    Gamesnet and FSnet files on. so now is they all lost if they not can make a hd recovering.
    There was a game where lot of people and sysop specially downloaded gamesnet files from, as one or 2 games files and utilities.
    The 2 games were a good old play of Killing and killing for the player and then
    Quake games, and I have the newest version of Quake on my system for AdventureNet section of files.

    There's no way to easily get rid of all those files across the whole of
    the FileGate distribution so I leave it to each sysop as to whether he
    or she wants to kill them or not, of course.

    Ok. :)

    The IFDC FileGate Home Gamesnet pages now simply have links to the
    windows win_games pages and lnx4games, etc. pages.

    So is it there for games now, Gamesnet files was more for dos and Win3.x + win95 games. :)


    Take care,

    Luckily my system just removes all such files prior to tossing, false or not.

    I don't even look at the log files generated, time's too short !

    Not that I personally care about viruses as I run Linux but for all the rest of
    these unfortunate souls who have'n't not the message and continue to use the output from M$.. :)
