Well, the only ones I know about are Metroid Database, Metroid Recon, and Castlevania Dungeon. And there were better versions of most of the Castlevania music that Kurt had. <div><br></div><div>This affected all Hosted sites (the same ones that went under and that may or may not have been backed up by the archivist). There was probably some interesting material on the other pages, but the wealth of it lay in the site content rather than hosted files.</div>

Wow...that...really sucks...<br>

How many other sites are affected? Anything important we should look to
see if we can get a hold off them with a formal letter or something?<br>

<div>They decided at the last minute to delete all the Fileplanet
files from hosted sites without letting anyone know about it ahead of
time. Thankfully I have everything backed up in a safe place (multiple
places actually), and our new server can handle the traffic, but this
was NOT something I wanted to deal with on Christmas week. I'm curious
to see whether they will be offering to send all the files via internet
transfer or over DVD.</div>

are contacting you as at one time you were an IGN Hosting user.<br>
<br>
Before retiring the service, we indicated that files uploaded to
FilePlanet would remain downloadable even after the retirement of the
IGN Hosting service. Unfortunately, we are unable to continue
maintaining this service, and are having to disable these download
pages. To clarify, these are all the download pages that have URLs
beginning with "<a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/hosteddl.aspx?/hst/" target="_blank">http://www.fileplanet.com/hosteddl.aspx?/hst/</a>"
(that is, files uploaded via <a href="ftp://fphosted.gamespy.com/" target="_blank">ftp://fphosted.gamespy.com/</a>).
*This does not affect Planet site files, only hosted site files.*<br>
<br>
If you need a copy of your files, please send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:oysterhelp@rt.ign.com" target="_blank">oysterhelp@rt.ign.com</a>
*within the next seven days*, clearly stating your old FTP username
(which can be found from the URL of a file, for example, the username
associated with <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/hosteddl.aspx?/hst/p/h/phrozenk/file.zip" target="_blank">http://www.fileplanet.com/hosteddl.aspx?/hst/p/h/phrozenk/file.zip</a>
is "phrozenk").<br>
<br>
We apologise for having to stop supporting this service, and also for
the short notice. Please can I stress that you contact <a href="mailto:oysterhelp@rt.ign.com" target="_blank">oysterhelp@rt.ign.com</a>
*within the next seven days* should you need a copy of your files, as
automatic snapshots of the directories are not kept for much longer
than that.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
IGN Hosting<br>
