Alright, Im sure we all know what Totse was, a simple website FULL of
GREAT texts. These texts, or at least the majority of them 80% contain
great information from which one can learn. I am all for more people
submittion more texts. But the problem is Totse is discontinued. I
want to start a project to somehow revive it. I am a webdesigner/
graphic artist, I have made websites I can help. The main issue would
be:

#1. The domain <www.totse.com> WTF is going on with it, did Jeff
renew?.
#2. Who would manage the new subbmission <I sure as hell would>
#3. Money, who would contribute, I surly would.
#4. Team to manage site <Doesen't take much I would be one of them>

Were to start: to revive Totse we definatly need to know more about he
domain status. If only me and a number of fans can hold a chat some
time about restoring Totse as a FAN project I am available: EMail me:
cnj...@gmail.com.

Your thoughts are welcome, please dont spam. Thank you have a good day.

Hmm, no. How did totse do it? I mostly just lurked, didn't really
participate so I'm not sure how that all worked.

Ok if you know PHP, there is something called formmail. Somebody
enters something on a text field on a page, and click submit. You get
an EMail with what was entered in those text fields, I can make it
work.

That could work, or what if I setup a pureftpd service that allowed
Anonymous login and uploading only (no deleting, renaming, etc) of
text files? Those text files could then be seen in Totse/contrib or
something. That might be easier because I haven't had much luck
getting php mailing working on Windows. I'm actually a linux guy, the
only reason why the server is using Windows is because it also runs
Orblive to stream media to my iphone and a linux version of Orblive
has yet to be released.

Like I said, I can't do that I'm afraid. You can setup formmail though
and I could link to it.

I began work on the formmail. Trying to remember if CGI is Microsoft
or Linux. BTW the server you use is Micosoft or Linux, this is very
important, as a matter of fact I can't start without know that. Please
tell me ASAP.

It is Windows running Apache instead of IIS.

I won't be making the fommail work because of
http://www.totse2.net/totse/
It seems like they will get it to work.

Could you take this discussion to zoklet, please?

We have the majority of the people there, we have most of the admins
and mods on there, and we are discussing ways to make it work.

http://www.zoklet.net

Thank you.

Because Zoklet has all the Totseans on there, so there is a better
chance of having a proper discussion of any plans you have, and a
greater chance of bringing the ideas into life.

There is a very good Totse mirror up at modrs2.net - complete with the
old, and a new Community.
We are currently discussing how to take it forward, and whether to do
so at zoklet.net

I don't like Shtotse shit. I like original totse, because you simply
can't associate yourself with Totse if your not going to use their
layout at the least...come on people.

It is very easy, its called templates. Are you familiar with templates?. If not I can make you one of them.

I really just want to recreate a place for old totseans to go to. Jeff Hunter (totse owner) left everyone in the dust. He posted Zoks forum, but that's just a forum, nothing else. I guess I'm just blabbering on here, but yes let's do this and let's get these old users a new and possibly better home!

Hell yeah, go Shotse!

I've noticed a post by Jeff Hunter on Shotse though. Looks like he
doesn't approve? What's going on there?

Ok, this is what I can do, thought you will have to cooperate if you
want anything out of this, I can educate you on templates, their uses
and benifits. Do you want to?.

How can I get Totse on my HDD? I would really like to because all this
back and fourth and different websites is madness..
i would like to see new info as well (and will keep checkin in on all
the 'new' totse sites/forums),
but would like to have a 'hard copy' of the already 'good info'. I use
to frequent this site back in H.S. and after the last
few years kinda forgot about it until reading about it in "steal this
computer book". As soon as i saw the url a big smile
came across my face. So as soon as I got home today, I tried the site
and found out the bad news. Awesome that I can
still access the files, but liek I said would like my own copy to
access at anytime. Any help would be great. Thanks
