Halomods Tutorial Archive

I have noticed a few of you expresing concerns about the health of halomods.

I have come up with this general guideline for anyone who wants to backup Halomods knowledge onto the Remnant server:

Contact the Author: if you are going to backup thier thread send them a pm, and and email (if listed) asking thier permission to backup the thread. If they do not respond in a day just continue with the assumption that it is okay with them, if they contact you later stateing otherwise just remove the archived topic.

Backup the Data: backing up the text is all fine and all but without backing up the linked data like files and images theres really no point to it: if you can save everything locally I can upload it to a special FTP partition.

Give Credit: Just put these tags at the begging of the post, do not quote the original as that is just annoying to look at...
Author: username
Date Posted: original post date of topic
Website: a link to the site the tutorial was found on

Anyone who wants to add suggestions to this guideline feel free to do so.
