Update not related to Turok 2
Well, here we go, an update,
but this really doesn't have anything to do with Turok 2.
It really has more to do with this site and my free
hosting. I got a nice email from freeservers today. They
said hey, we are offering to upgrade your free service to
premium for no charge for one month. And then they said,
oh yea btw, if you don't take this offer, we are going to
take away some of your free options. So now I'm going to
lose 8 megs of free space, and all my stats for this site.
Also I will be losing all files above 256kb and now have
a limit of 512mb of bandwidth per month. I have no idea
how much bandwidth this site takes up, they don't have
any listings on it to tell me, I don't think the site
comes anywhere near this much bandwidth but I don't know.
Also losing some other options that I don't think I use.
This kinda pisses me off though. I have used their
services for over 2 years now, between the RoH site that
this used to be and the Current Archive. I have followed
their rules of no warez etc. I even try to avoid having
any swearing on the site whenever possible. And where
does it get me? More limits on what I can do. I have
slowly had other option taken away from me in the past
and let it happen without posting anything on here about
it. I used to be able to post zip files for people to
download, as you may notice there are some on the
downloads page. I don't know when they stopped letting me
use them. I just noticed one day that they would no
longer download. Later on I had limits imposed on the
size of uploads allowed. Originally I think there was no
limit, then it was like 2 megs or something, then 500k,
now its cut in half again. I think at one point, Free
Servers even stopped me from being allowed to use
anyfiles that could be downloaded for use offline, zip
files, movies, rar files, and many other formats. I
suppose this complaining really gets me nowhere, so I'll
stop where I am. After all it is a free service. It just
irritates me when companies do this. They are not making
enough money off the site so they have to limit it more
and more to the point where there is no reason to even
bother with a page because there is nothing useful you
can do with it other than put up a picture of yourself
and tell all your friends you have a website. Not only is
that a complete waste of time and energy, it's completely
retarded. So what to do now. For now the Archive will
remain here until I can find a new host. I'm really not
sure where I will move it to, but I think almost anywhere
else would be better. I will find another host as soon as
I have some time for it and the archive will be moved
there. I may just keep this site here until I hit 10,000
on the counter. It's not that far off anyways. So speed
up the transition of this site. Send all your friends
here so that the counter will hit the 10,000 mark that I
have been waiting for. Hopefully if I find a good host,
maybe I can do more with the site, like have an actually
downloads page that works. Well I'm out of here. I have
better things to do right now. Goodnite. 11-01-2001
Players page updated
A small update really, I added
some more people to the players page. Made corrections
from those who told me about things that were wrong.
Added many former LL players, deleted a couple people
that I have on the list twice, Current Player count is
375. The list is still very incomplete. Please send me
any information that you know that could help make this
list more complete.

First update in a long time
Well it's been a long time
since any update but hopefully I will get a little time
every few weeks to add something to this page again. I
have wanted to work on this for a while and just haven't
had much time. NEW PAGE. Thats
basically what this update is about. I have added a large
players page that is still very incomplete but I will be
adding to it as I have time. There is a link on the left
side above to go there or click here to see the new
addition.
I plan to add profiles for each person if anyone would
like to submit them. In my next update, I will write up a
small profile for myself as an example and then everyone
can use that for a base of their own profiles. This is
entirely up to you to do. I don't think anyone would have
time to write up 500 profiles on players. Anything else
you would like to see added? drop me a email and tell me.
If you would like to submit something to the site, such
as a past clan, write up a profile like the ones I have
on that page and I will give you credit for it. I plan to
add a few more documents I have collected and I still
intend on finding a way to make the downloads page work,
I will have to do some tinkering with that when I have
time. BTW - Current Player count is 352, and I must give
credit to Radimus and RedXxII for helping me out with
this tremendous task, If your name is not up there, email
me your information and I will add it. Thanks, I think
thats all for now. Oh yea, and I have decided to reopen
the Guestbook for now. It will work again like it used to.

Limited Update
Almost 2 months since my last
update. Site is simply too big for one person to do. Took
me several hours just for this limited update. What does
limited mean? Well I updated the clan profiles, added a
couple clan matches, thats about it. Not a whole lot
going on in Turok as usual. Return of 420, Mayhem,
Prototype and 4u2fear. Clan profiles are probably still
inaccurate right now. Theres too much to do with them.
Only a few people report information to me so that
doubles my work, having to check out sites for
information and then update it on mine own. This may be
the last update for some time. I don't follow what goes
on in Turok much anymore. I don't check my ICQ# for
message but maybe once a day and rarely get messages on
anything to be updated. Thanks to all those who have sent
me info though. You have helped me more then you know.
AoA is gone, some members joined PK. Theres more
clanfights out there, but I don't bother adding them
without a date. More clans, but no one reports them to me
so they don't get added either. I made some other small
fixes on the site. With Tribes 2 out now and Red Alert 2,
my time in Turok will gradually fade away. Maybe I'll do
some more with the site over the summer, but I'm just not
going to spend 3-4 days a week fixing every little thing
by myself like I used to. I don't have the time or will
to do so and try to work fulltime anymore.

A month later, still not much news
I waited a while to do this
update, but there still isn't much to change on the site.
Only a lot of small changes to clan profiles basically. I
added a couple links, including one for the Top
25 Turok 2 Websites. Added a few more
Documents. Added in 2 more clan matches, haven't gotten
any more reports of others, though I'm sure there was
more. The MoO clan has broken up due to inactivity. Most
members joined RoH. I moved several other inactive clans
off the current clans page. A couple new clans have
popped up. DoD and CFH are the latest additions. I did
some massive work on the downloads page to make it work
now but I have just found out that it still doenst work
so I wont upload it. . I added MoO and Hobz to the Past
clans page. Updated the Primagen profile on the Past
clans page. I beleive I have corrected most of the roster
on the Current Clans page. RoH has added several new
members. Jooman, Giskard, Ma Bad, Primagen, Morpheous,
OBCKill, Bucky, and Yoda. DTC added Scoob, Baseman and
Tenchu. Matrix left DTC. A bunch of players left UDA. I
beleive I have their roster correct now. Corrected the
WsC and PQ rosters as well. Added a few players to the
Primagen lineup.
Most of this update was completed on
the 29th of January. Latest news is actually a bit better.
ChrisR!k has found a way to start banning cheaters from
servers.Click
here to check it out. Also
there is a new Turok 2 Petition that has been started by
ibi_Shib@ of the PK clan. Click
here to go sign it.
Its 4am now. Thought I would complete
this update before I went to bed. This site is has had
over 6000 hits now. I have spent the past month or so
away from Turok 2. I have missed some things, however
nothing majorly new seems to happen anymore. Its the same
old thing all the time. We have people who clan skip from
one to the next that makes this site annoying to update
watching the same people jump clans every few days.
Another reason why I haven't updated. Cheaters everywhere.
It gets annoying after a while running into people with
Auto Aim on in the servers. Or infinite health. Yea its
fun to screw around like that every once in a while I
guess, but it gets really old quick. I used to play to
have fun, but it's just not fun to have to deal with
cheaters on a nightly basis. So some players come up with
a way to block out cheaters. Its not flawless of course,
but it's a start. I think the petition for Turok 2 is a
good idea also, but I don't think Acclaim will even look
at it unless we get around 1000 signatures. Either way I
hope for the best. Hmm what else... Message Board is
loaded with interesting comments to continue on the soap
opera. Not what I intended it to be used for but nothing
I can do about that. Clans have come and gone day to day
I'm sure, but I don't know who they are or much anything
about them so I can't add them into the site. I'm still
pretty much doing this site myself. Hmmm. Vertigo is back
in Turok 2 now. The RoH site was redone a while back, it
looks really nice. Check it out. I had plans for a new
Turok 2 League that still haven't panned out. Also there
is no Level editor except the one that Acclaim has. No
one else has it. Thats about it I guess.

A New Year
Ahh a new year. Lets hope its
better than the previous one's I've had. Turok 2 is still
alive unlike everyone has predicted. It doesn't die very
easily. Well, I'll recap what I've updated. This biggest
news of the week is the Sinister has left Turok 2!! I
have added his farewell speech to the Documents page.
Read it to find out why he left. Also added 5 other new
things to the Documents page. Added a clan fight to the
Clan Fights page. I made the changes to the RoH roster.
They are now 13 members. They went through a
reorganization when Sinister left. Mandy and Chaos have
left SiR. I have made those changes. Mandy joined VTO. I
took out the 911 clan because Stealth joined MoO and 911
is now dead. Readded the G2K clan because I have found
out that they never really died. made a couple changes to
the Timeline. I updated the LS roster. And I also redid
the first few clans on the Past Clans page. I will
eventually redo all the clans on there, adding in all the
information I know about them all. It's 4:40 in the
morning now, I'm tired and can't think of anymore to add.
Time to upload. This update seemed so much bigger. Oh yea
I remember what took so much time. I fixed the downloads
page sort of. It will be a temporary fix. I will find a
better way to do it later.

Christmas Eve
Well it's Christmas Eve. I'm
alone here as I usually am. Well being alone with nothing
better to do, I decided to update the site. I'll just
type off the list of things I had to fix. Fixed the link
to the PQ rules on the Documents Page. Made corrections
to the Clans Page. MoO means Monks on Opium now I am told.
Giskard is not the Leader, there is no Leader in that
clan. Found out the Somedude is Leader of SotN. Lucky
Luke is the Leader of NEM, not Raptor. Made the changes
to correct those mistakes. Added Tyrant back onto VTO.
Added a note that ChrisR!k is Coleader of that clan also.
Removed Vader from the list of VTO members. Removed
Hellspawn from the HoBz clan profiles as he is now know
as Somedude(Leader of SotN). Added Savage to the Former
Members of DTC. Totally corrected the NEM clan profile as
much of it was off. Added Apocalypse and Meyham to the
NFM page. Changed Audacity's ICQ number on the NFM page.
Added Tyrant to the Former members on the KWR page. Added
Marcus' ICQ number on the KWR page. Added Hellspawn to
the Former members on the HoBz page. Changed Lerenzo to
Zo on the UDA page. Added Matrix to the UDA page. Change
Britney to Picolo on the WsC page. Added Nookie to the
MoO page. Removed the SWE clan from the Clans page all
together because they no longer exist. Added a link to
the new Rok Tournament on the Links Page. I think thats
all the major news. NEW MESSAGE BOARD!! POST
SOMETHING THERE!! Forgot to make that bigger in
my last update. Well I guess thats it for now. Ooops
almost forgot the big news. Killer Z has joined the SiR
clan. I have added him to the SiR clan profile.
And something unrelated to Turok 2 now.
On behalf of myself and the staff of The Turok Archive,
I'd like to wish everyone Happy Holidays. Spend some time
with loved ones. Don't spend this time of year alone. It
just sucks when that happens. I know it all too well.
Have some fun and don't drink too much.

Check out the NEW clan profiles
Yea this update has taken a
long time to do, but its worth it. All kinds of new
information in the clan profiles. The MoO clan is the
biggest new addition probably. Three guys left AoA to
form the MoO clan. Added a Message board to the site.
Added a couple other new clans. Added profiles for a few
clans. Most of the update is in the Clan Profiles, so
take a look at them. Added a link to the links page.
added one thing to the Documents page, made the necessary
changes to the Timelime and Past clans pages. Did some
spelling corrections throughout the site. Added some clan
fights to the Clan Fights page. Check out the Site,
theres new stuff here and there. I'm kinda rushing this
so I can get this update done before work. I still didn't
get to fixing the Downloads page, but I will as soon as I
can. Lots more stuff to come when I get some time. I have
a million ideas right now.

New Design for the site is finished
I started working on the new design about 2 weeks ago. I
have worked on it on and off since then. It's been
tedious and time consuming as well as stressful. Applying
a new design to 89 pages in a quick amount of time is not
the easiest thing in the world to do. I think I have
everything working now. Its taken so long that I'm sure
there are some mistakes here and there. But still this is
going to be the new design for a while, I won't even
attempt another redesign on my own. I should have some
better updates next week, I have more plans for the site.
So by now the total redesign is quite obvious. New
buttons, new graphics, somewhat of a new layout. Lots of
stuff is still similar to the old design though. I think
this is a pretty good facelift. Before I get into what
else I have changed on the site, I would like to welcome
2 new staff members to the site. Radimus and HaDeS will
now be helping me with the site. Well, that means there
is a staff page now heh. The tributes are now all on one
page. Contacts are now on the staff page. The About page
is now only about Turok 2. Old contact page is now a
Submit Information page. Got rid of the graphics page and
put the graphics in 2 zip files on the Downloads page.
Total new look to the clans page. Some better
organization on the Documents page. There's some better
organization on the links page as well. Past clans page
is a bit different now. Events page is now the Clan
Fights page. Ok, onto some smaller things. Added 3 links
to the Links page. Corrected one of the links on the
Downloads page and made a note on there as well. I
deleted some of the useless entries from the Old
Guestbook pages. Made updates to the EW, RoH and DTC
pages. Added the GAHL and KWR clans. Made some small
additions to the Timeline. Added the first 2 Articles
written by Radimus to the Documents page and Added the
Screenshot info to the page as well. Ahh I'm sure there's
other stuff on the site that has been updated, take a
look around, I can't remember right now. I'm just glad
this update is done finally. :) Almost forgot, the site
is well over 4000 hits now. Keep checking back for
updates, I have more stuff planned.
