💼 FoL Archive Site

[Whysper]

Oh, that’s pretty cool! I tried it out and it works nicely.

[CRichardFortressLies]

In before Forum of Lies is rebooted.

[Whysper]

Added 3 new sections.

Redirecting Links
Dark Mode
Searching with Google Drive

[CRichardFortressLies]

Oh cool.

[lol]

what happened to forum of lies?

[Arctic]

ownership of the game which the forum was dedicated to was transferred

xblade tried to update the forum while it was down because the certificate expired

this ended up breaking the site

the new owners didn’t care enough about the forum to bother fixing it

we made our own site which is independent from throne of lies

@Whysper How the heck do you search with Google Docs

@JakeTheWolfie

@Whysper How the heck do you search with Google Docs

Google Drive, the general storage app/site. When you have the files in your account, Google goes through and indexes them. Then you can use the general search field for finding docs, sheets, etc.

Searching with Google Drive

If you have a Google Drive account, you can add this shared folder and search it within Drive.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19dWFPTe20YmlBUJTnvC5Wi0R5fBtWoO2?usp=sharing

1. Click the above link.
2. Open the Shared with me section.
3. Click and highlight the fol-archive folder.
4. Press down Shift + Z .
5. Choose a location in the dialog box.

This will add the shared folder to your own Drive. After some time (this may take hours or days), the contents should become searchable within Drive. You can right-click the fol-archive folder and choose Search within fol-archive to limit your search.

The search results will give you HTML files from the archive. If you want to get a link to the page on the archive site, you’ll need to piece together a properly formatted link based on the folder and file name. The link should look something like the following example.

https://fol-archive.netlify.app/t/umineko-fm-turn-of-the-golden-witch-game-over-wolves-win/86554!page=33.html

But you have to do this stuff first. Or upload your own copy of the files from the zip archive.

[JakeTheWolfie]

I understand that, and I’ve followed the steps, but it can’t even find normal searches such as “grand-idea-fol-ashes-version”

[Whysper]

Yeah, if you did that, you have to wait awhile before they index it

[JakeTheWolfie]

I did this back in January

[Whysper]

Hours or days. I’m not exactly sure. I think I checked after a couple days on my extra account and saw that it worked finally

[Whysper]

Ahh okay. Hmmm, not sure then. Try searching for the separate keywords. Can you find anything from that? Not such a specific text string.

[JakeTheWolfie]

I can’t even find any searches for individual characters

[JakeTheWolfie]

All it tells me to do is to add a shortcut, no indexing option available

[Whysper]

Let’s move this chat to Discord so we don’t clutter the thread. I’ll contact you.

[Whysper]

Removed Searching with Google Drive section since this method no longer works.

Removed Main Links section since most links are easy to find on main page of archive site or have threads on this site.

Changed Searching section to Search Engine and described the new custom FoL search engine on Yandex.

[Whysper]

There is a custom FoL search engine available through Yandex.

FoL Search

It is a combined search for Forum of Lies, FoL Archive, and Fortress of Lies. You can limit the search with the section filter if necessary.
