New TMA admins
Thursday 24th October 2024
Hello everyone!
Some of you aren't aware, but Flashira, TMA's only admin for the time has gone inactive and left the admin position.
In his place, please welcome fuzion_mixer and me as new current admins of TMA. If by any chance there are some assignments, dupes or other things that have been left unattended, please let us know and we will help you with all we have.
Any requests are most likely to be seen, if posted on the TMA forums. Discord can work as well (in #site-help), but I still encourage you to submit any requests to the forums. Thanks!

m0d has sadly passed away
Sunday 5th May 2024
On Star Wars day, May 4th 2024, our main fleet commander m0d sadly passed away after wrestling with colon cancer since October of last year. He leaves behind his lovely wife Ilona and have handed over the reigns of TMA to me (Ziphoid) and us in SceneSat.
There are plans in motion to build a new engine that is more easily maintainable than the current one is, since we sadly don't have anyone with full expertise and knowledge about it involved any longer.
I have personally been a close friend of Greg for about a decade and a half, and these news hits me quite hard, even though I've known that this has been the grim outlook for the last half year. He has done an amazing job structuring and documenting all sorts of quirks this site has, so that we can manage it as good as possible until we have a new engine up and running.
We expect and hope all of you to help keeping this community flourish and that we can make m0d proud with all the progress we hope to achieve.
You're already missed more than you could ever believe, m0d.
Fuck cancer!

Modarchive Discord
Monday 8th January 2024
Discord Invite to Modarchive - To help re-establish social comms, I’ve set up a bridged Discord to the new irc.rizon.net #modarchive channel in case you prefer old school IRC. Early stages, but the bots of yesteryear are back and have all the toys and tools. The updates and announcements from stuff posted on the forums are periodically checked and relayed through to the IRC channel(s).
New content from the archive such as comments, spotlights and stuff will still come through on the Discord side so Discordians won’t miss out. Stop by for a social!
Bonus: Silly old IRC stats
Much love

Scenesat has provided an extra vCPU
Thursday 21st December 2023
Today I am very pleased to announce that Scenesat has allocated an extra virtual CPU to our system, thanks in part to the few donations Scenesat receives via Modarchive.
I will soon publish some notes under the Scenesat donation link indicating that we may be able to expand available resources for Modarchive through donations.
In the past when TMA donation drives allowed me to rent high speed dedicated servers with many CPUs we had lots of spare processing power to allow for growth, unfortunately the donation drives ceased when I went on an emergency hiatus for several years to work on personal issues. The consequence of that was the donation pool eventually ran out of money and nobody picked up the gauntlet to keep it going!
Thank goodness for Scenesat, especially Ziphoid and Fnord who provisioned a virtual server, which is why we now direct our donation drive towards Scenesat.com- if you are not familiar with Scenesat, they provide high quality live video and audio streams from many demo-parties, where module competitions frequently take place. Additionally, Scenesat provides a lot of infra for hosting radio shows by sceners, and also broadcasts scene-only music 24/7, including fantastic music modules.
Making a donation through the Modarchive donation button on the main page will tag your donation and put it towards keeping the services online as well as possibly enabling us to earn additional resources for operating Modarchive.
All the best wishes and strength for the new year,
m0d
