Forum rules


Please read the following rules before posting a download request in this area:

1. Don't post a request if you have under 10 posts as stated on the front page. If you do anyway, it will be deleted without further notice. This also applies to other members: If you see a request by someone with less than 10 posts and it hasn't been deleted yet, please don't reply to it.
2. Don't request for warez or any copyrighted software. Only betas (no matter how old or new) and finals of operating systems and applications that are at least 10 years old and therefore classified as abandonware are allowed to be uploaded to and shared on the BetaArchive FTP server.
3. If you have your own FTP server where you'd like other members to upload what you're looking for to, please don't post its login details in any open forum as that will probably lead to abuse. Post the login details in the Private Servers section instead.
4. Check that we don't already have the file on our FTP servers. If you don't have access to the FTP servers then ask someone who has (a moderator for example).

From now on I will be renaming any badly named titles (frankly, a lot of you are awful at making proper titles, read the rules and guidelines people!) so it will be clearer at what's being offered or requested. This however is not an excuse for you to make lazy titles, if I notice that certain members are making too many bad titles I will simply delete the topics. So if you want your request or offer to stay then be sure to label them properly.

And remember people, before requesting releases be sure to check the FTP first, a lot of requests are done even with the files existing on the FTP.

Edit: I will not be locking down requests and offers since I realized that there may be situations where someone might have a question, or want to re-request it (outdated link etc) without opening up a new topic.

It's really hard work :( I don't know why people doesn't think about proper topic title before creating it.

Not that it makes much difference to me if titles are changed or not. I read threads anyway.

It does for a lot of people since it's easier to read what's being offered or requested.

Exactly. If I'm looking for something specific, it's easier to find it because I don't have to check every topic named "Windows Me" for example, but only the ones saying [OFFER].
