thanks chohole, we needed this.

Day 23 and 24 are still working links

Day 22 - 24 are still working
Thanks for checking those ones out Kerya.
I came across the old link for 2006 and checked it out. The page is a total wreck but all items are present and accounted! To get the items, the links will need to be converted from forum.daz3d.com to forumarchive.daz3d.com.
http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=48883
If I get some time latter, I'll try to list corrected links for the item and pics.
Thanks Semicharm.
I found part of Day 9 - just Duo Genesis, not the V4 version - in the Internet Archive:

That's the only PA Xmas gift that the Wayback Machine has... but one is better than none, right?
Thank you, SemiCharm. Unfortunately, even adding the "archive" doesn't help, none of the links (except for 2012) work.

Forumarchive links take much longer to load than the current forum.
ANy of the old Christmas freebies which were hosted on the old freebie archive in the old forums will not work. It is one of the unfortuante happenings. Some PAs have reuploaded the freebies elsewhere, and people are linking to those when they get a chance.
Forumarchive links take much longer to load than the current forum.
It loads long, but after loading, Mozilla states the page expired and cannot be opened. I tried that Wayback Machine, but it didn't work. Any chance the links to gifts will get posted again in Freepozitory please? Maybe a new list of freebies for Christmas giveaways only?
It has been stated many times previously that the old forum freebie archive was held on a copletely separate server to the Forum archive, and that there was no chance of bringing it back. Henmce my remark about people searching out the links where the PAs involved have actually reposted the gifts elsewhere and it is these links that people are posting here,
Ths thread is supposed to be just for links to such files, so once I know that you have read this post I shall remove all this extraneous convo.

Not every link in those threads point to the old freebie archive. There are also off-site links, which still work, within those Xmas threads.
It's been three months, so I'm guessing you didn't have time... and I had a free hour today. All of these links are confirmed to work.

Edit: And a few of the images...
Thanks for doing that Rob :coolsmile:
Oops. I don;t know how in the world I could have possibly missed robkelk's post, but I did. We don;t need a duplicate so I have rescinded mine. Just pretend that I was never here. (slinks away)
These are amazing. Thank you everyone for your hard work.
It's been three months, so I'm guessing you didn't have time... and I had a free hour today. All of these links are confirmed to work.
Thanks for getting this together. It slipped my mind, like just about everything else lately.
Thank you anyway, for being willing to do the work.
RobKelk, may we call you The Angel of Christmas PAs? Please, you're literally saving me from stranding into madness, none of the links converted to forumarchive worked for me :P! If it wasn't for you, I would have never got the freebies. Thank you a lot!
Pressie drop for you. This looks like the right place to put this. Someone asked me about this yesterday, and I checked the forum archive and found out the link wasn't working anymore. So here is a new link for the 2011 PA Christmas freebie from InaneGlory and DestinysGarden. Photo Studio Lite for DAZ Studio, which contains a mesh light, some light presets, and a backdrop with a few textures.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26614140/photostudiolite.zip
I'll edit the post and add the card if I track it down.
cheers!
Thank you so much, I cannot wait to try this little treasure! I am in everlasting need for lights :).

That's the only PA Xmas gift that the Wayback Machine has... but one is better than none, right?
You know what's even better than one recovered freebie? Five more recovered freebies! (Yes, I was wrong about Duo Genesis being the only PA advent freebie in the Wayback Machine.)

robkelk, the links in that big list you posted don't work, I get a host error, so they're dead. Same with Kerya's three links. Nothing in the Wayback machine, either. Please remove these links. All of you people pretending they work are REALLY annoying me.
You could direct your anger at Daz for killing the forumarchive ...
or you could take a look at the date of the posts ...
are you looking at posts you made a year ago to see if they are still valid?
opal42987, check your computer settings. The links I posted in post #23 still work - I just checked them.

That one isn't your big link list. I was referring to your first post in this thread.
And I apologize, it seems I erroneously thought that this was a new thread that I had never seen before, esp. since people were saying "THANK YOU" after the talk about the death of the forum archives O_o
Plenty of confusion to go around, then. No worries.
