====== Old forum archive ======
This page contains a full, static HTML archive tarball of the original
Altitude forums.  To use this archive, follow these steps:

  - Verify you have 14GB space free.  The tarball is 420MB, but it unpacks \
    to 14GB.  It was 33GB before I started.
  - Download the \
    [[http://glaciated.org/altitudegame-archive.tar.xz|altitudegame.tar.xz]] \
    tarball.  It is archived with tar and compresses with the xz compression \
    program.
  - Unpack the archive onto a filesystem which uses a directory inode \
    tree structure to store files and can have 500,000 files \
    or more per directory.  ''ext4'', ''xfs'', and ''btrfs'' \
    will all work for this.
  - Configure a new document root, virtual host, location, etc per the web \
    server (''apache'', ''nginx'', etc.) requirements and configure SSI \
    (Server Side Includes) for that root.
  - Configure the server to point 404 errors to the unpacked ''404.html'' file
  - Edit the ''404.html'' file as you see fit to explain the requested file is \
    not part of the mirror.
  - Edit the ''forums/search.html'' to change the ''"sitesearch"'' from \
    ''altitudegame.com'' to your site
  - Tell google to index your site.  You can perform a manual site search and \
    that sometimes works.  After google indexes your site, the search bar will \
    relatively work for people.
