Old Wizden replays will be deleted

We are going to delete old replays from our archives. They are taking up significant amounts of storage space (terabytes) that we’d rather not spend extra patreon funds on to maintain.

These old replays are all impossible to run out of the box with the launcher anymore due to various technical issues, but it’s still possible to run them manually with enough effort. If you have any rounds you would like to preserve, you should download them now .

Is there a specific cutoff date up to which things will be deleted, or is it just “however much for space usage warnings not to go off”?

Thanks for the notice though!

Not really sure yet. If nothing else I’ll definitely need to start automating this at some point, but I’m guessing I’ll probably remove the last 6 months for now.

Understandable, but I do think this is a ‘lost media’ moment. I consider the replays to be the final publication of a multi-author story, I hope there are solutions to this in the future.
Must have been a hard decision to make, thankyou for you efforts o7.

are you saying that you are deleting ALL of the replays or anything older than 6 months?

We are not deleting ALL of them, just anything less then 6 months (we are not sure of the amount of days)

I have now finally gotten around to this. All replays from 2023 are now gone.

I have backed up all 2023 replays here. Not sure for how long they will stay online but for now you can use this to download them.

Alright well, I keep getting disk alerts from this so :godo:

I already deleted January & February 2024 a bit ago. I’m gonna delete March and April now. If you care about these rounds, back them up.
