Only a small update this week with 4 shows from the 'R' section: Ratchet & Clank, Rupert, Rosewell Conspiracies and Repligator.

However, there's something new. People who have followed the site know that this is the 3rd formats we went through since the site started.

The first one was a plain HTML where everything was static and had to manually be updated in notepad or any basic HTML editor.
The second one was made in PHP with a database backend in order to simplify the update, sorting and categorization.
The third, and current one, now use Java on Tomcat with a database backend for a more persisted format and a more interactive service.

Some of the features were removed or added from one version to another. And the nostalgic were wondering what happened to those feature and the other site.
Well, after getting a few demands about the old site and the old gallery, and since everything back then was all static, I decided to code a small servlet that would feed a website from a big ZIP archive. And thus, Shadowlord 1.0, which I branded "Legacy", with its 62709 files, fita in a 800Mb zip file.

The nostalgic and those wanting to see what the site looked back between 1999 and 2003 can now access it at http://legacy.shadowlordinc.com/
It contain some old stuff that is now long gone and were first hosted on Shadowlord back then.

Enjoy and feedback is appreciated.
