Some pages give me "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.", and its not because of my post count.

i don't have NF account either but I think at most after 17th I will be available fully

I do not have a NF account, so obviously I don't have 25 posts. That said I will be available a fair amount now that my finals are completed. I'll be open several hours a day, with days I have no work being even more open.

I should be more or less available this week, because I've got some school stuff to tend to, although I'll still have some down time.

I don't have an NF account. And I will be very busy with work between the 20th and 31st of this month. I don't know if I can help with this.

Thank you very much to everybody who are willing to help out, and no problem if you are too busy.
A special thanks to Kepekley23 and Liger686, given that they are already trying to organise the information, which should make Ryukama's job easier.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, it is extremely important that everybody who will help out with copying calculations to blogs here give full credit to the original calcers at the top of each of them.

Some people made their blogs completely private, i had this problem when i was looking for a Dota calc blog a while back

Okay. That is a problem, not just for us, but for the OBD as well.
However, we will simply have to try to replace all of the calculation links that we can, and place the ones that are currently completely hidden, without older Wayback Machine backups, in a list, and try to deal with it after we are done.

It'll be difficult, but next week, I can try backing some up...

I think i will be done with the blog in roughly two to three hours.

Thank you.
I noticed that a very large portion of the links are already saved in the Wayback Machine. Like, some 75-85%.

Forgive me, but what exactly do you mean by organizing the narutoforums calculations?

There's a 3.6 Megaton calc here that we need for the InuYasha (Verse). Could you perhaps take a look at that? And this one?DodoNova2 said:

@Dino
Almost all of the Narutoforum links are broken due to their recent changes to only allow users with 25 posts on Narutoforums to view blogs, and some of those blogs are restricted further by users who want to keep them private.
The point of this revision is to hunt down these links and restore them by plugging them into the Wayback Machine for everyone to see or to copy them into a blog. If they can't be restored, we need to make a new calc.

I will help where I can but my faulty net makes it difficult. If its only plugging links to the wayback, I think I can manage. My NF acc is old enough for it.
That said, the reason above is gonna make it difficult for me to copy over entire calcs because images.

@Reppuzan & DRB
Well, we are only supposed to copy the calculations with no previous Wayback Machine backups to blog posts here.
And as I keep saying, because it is very important, we have to always give credit to the original calcer when we do so.

I see. I'll try to log onto Wayback Machine then on the broken links......

Sorry for my long delay time
My whole week will be exams-filled and so will Monday of next week. But I should be available afterward.

Just pointing this out, but the amount of calcs we will have to put into our blogs is astronomically small compared to the amount of calcs already saved in the Wayback Machine. I'm roughly 66% to 70% done with my blog, and so far i have found 310 calcs with backups in the Wayback Machine and only 30 that don't. Assuming the ratio to be the same until i'm done yields ~50 links. Less than a tenth of the number of calcs that actually have backups.
So, technically speaking, this revision could actually be over one or two days from now with a sufficiently dedicated staff.

Huh. If it really is that small, then I can probably do it by myself.

It seems like Lina Shields (and to a lesser degree myself) have done a good job with backing up the calculations then. We foresaw long ago that something like this could potentially happen.
Still, even if we "only" have to copy around 50 blog posts here, that will still take a considerable time, and in addition, the calculation links in locked profiles have to be replaced by admins or content moderators.

I only have around 5 post on NF but I'll see if I can get to 25 quick enough. I don't want to spam or look like an idiot though.
It's been a pain trying to evaluate some recent Steven Universe calcs that were on NF so I defiantly want to help.
