The "Purge"
#1
Recently, huge swaths of our working links on the forum have gone dead. Riffling has brought to my attention that, when not regularly logged-in to, Mega will purge data from accounts (though I haven't been able to find any specifics, such as a policy or details about the time frame, though they apparently send out emails beforehand). Obviously, multiple Mega accounts are often signed up for with throwaway email accounts, so when people don't notice and forget to sign in for a while, we suddenly have the death of many, many links.

In this case, we've had a couple of people lose a few links, but then Tom Servo (who's been inactive for a while now) had what looks like maybe three quarters of his Mega links deleted, which obviously included a majority of the HD High files.

So let this both be a PSA to keep an eye on your Mega accounts (password managers are your friend) and also here is a list of riffs that we no longer have any working links for. As such, if someone needs a link from this list, one of us will have to step up and upload it. If anyone has any requests, I'll do my best to fill them in from what's in my collection. I'm not listing things for which non-official upgrades exist on the forum, as that would just pad this out even more, but I can be more specific if anyone cares (and there is a lot of those).

I could try to fill a good number of these, but - like I imagine many of you are with the current worldwide goings-on - I've been pretty busy and haven't had time to set up all those uploads and new accounts. If anyone has any of these, please post links. Otherwise, I hope we can work to refill a lot of these gaps together.

After seeing Riffling's post about the deletions, I logged into my Mega accounts and everything seemed to be in order so I will keep doing that to maintain my uploads.

I'm ready, willing and able to help with re-ups but like you, I'm spinning a lot of plates IRL right now. I'd also hate to waste valuable time duplicating efforts so I'll pledge to upload the Shorts and RiffTrax Live you listed in the next day or two, if others would like to help chip away on the other titles.

Thanks. I've got about 14 GB free, so I'll work on filling that up today. Hopefully we can whittle this down some. I'll start working my way down the movie list.

as a regular mega creeper of long standing, i can tell you they've been deleting / banning a LOT more than regular lately. I'm guessing the people working from home have a lot of free time on their hands right now to micro-manage. I lost like a dozen accounts. Which is a lot unless you found out how many accounts I have.

I don't know what's setting it off, then. At least I didn't lose any. But it's very strange.

Unless they're taking more drastic steps when they get a DMCA notice.

I made a new account, did nothing with it, and it got banned. I didn't upload or download. So, I made like four more, and 2 of them got deleted and two didn't. I honest to God think they're just bored.

I blame Fallout 76 not being good enough to distract the hardcore nerds.

That sounds very weird.

Wonder if we're going to have to find a new place to put things or start doing torrents every couple of months to backup everything but the latest releases.

(Also, I got a decent 100-150 hours out of Fallout 76, but that came out nearly a year and a half ago... Shouldn't these people be playing Doom Eternal or Animal Crossing or something?)

Uploading Samurai Cop live and Safety As We Play (HD med). Also have some of the Presents shorts, like Flash that smile, but it's 720x480, that's not HD right?

RiffTraxLive-SamuraiCop_HDmed.mp4 (HD Med, 2.10 GB) - may want to rename this file, it's a little hard to search for because there are no spaces between the words.

Safety As We Play (HD Medium).mp4 (HD Med, 148.2 MB)

I don't remember who first uploaded all these, but many thanks to them all!

Thanks very much for helping fill the gaps. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more stuff up soon as well.
