Right now they're contained at the wiki:
http://neocodex.us/w...egory:Tutorials

But if you go through a few of them you'll see why they suck :p personally I don't think there's enough there to require a wiki system. They should be added to a tutorial section; like we had before. If the admins decide to undertake this task I wouldn't mind taking some time out from the holidays to redo some of the programming tutorials.

Edit: some of those gfx tuts might not be retrievable unless the images are saved in a database somewhere.

    How did you eve find that wiki? O__O

    There's a reason there's no link to it anywhere on the site. It needs revamping and it hasn't been done yet.

    That was our frontpage a while back. We were using Wikimedia integrated with IPB and storing all of our tutorials and content onto the wiki. Since IPS released IP.Content, we're working to switch to using that for our frontpage.

    I'm trying to access some of the old gfx tutorials right now. But I get broken images for all of them.

    It would but with the number of tutorials we have; doesn't call for that level of organization. Just my opinion though =P

    GFX tutorials are gone, sadly :(. They were all images and weren't preserved for some reason. Only text was :(.

    I was supposed to be helping Ange with the guides but I got very busy and she left. I can still see all the moderator tools in the Neo section from when I was given mods skillz to help out....I can't do anything with them though.

    Yeah. I'm really sad about the huge amount of work we lost. We're taking measures now to never lose that kind of data again. We have automated backups on the codex server and source code revision control as well. We're good to go as far as that stuff :p.
