Indeed! I had the same thought when I found it, by chance did you find the link to all the past hoards?

endial - I wasn't sure if that was a "wink wink you found ALL of the hoard, right?" or if it was a "can you point me to the rest of the hoard?" so I'll play it safe and assume the latter. All of the hoards are linked from the One Monk home page. The other thing you want to do is check out the download section on the page there, too. Then, there's the fact that there's a TON of minis NOT in the hoards that you'll find throughout the forums. Think of it as some really rewarding archeological dig or something.

Nothin' but tumbleweeds blowin' through there now...
Brabantini effectively died when I started the MMIP yahoo group and moved most of the activity to the Paperworlds forums. The early MiP's were at Brabantini and the file section was always filling up very quickly, so files were being transferred to Paperworlds, so it made sense to me once I was in charge to keep everything in one place.
Brabantini had also come under the ownership of somebody who I thought was rather harsh and dictatorial, can't remember his name now...Tubman? I didn't care for his managerial style, he was busy regimenting a number of hobby groups, so I just started my own.

Totally the Former but its always good to assume one doesn't have knowledge when it comes to sharing goodies I know exactly what you mean by Archeological Dig on this site when I first discovered it I went through every page of every thread and downloaded everything I could find.

So Endial, if you actually reasonably recently downloaded "everything" wouldn't you be in the perfect position to start a lexicon of the non-hoard figures available on this site? You could use the hoard lexicon as a template? Just a thought. Maybe we can find a way to divide up the work so others can pitch in.

I started trying to do all the Imperfect People at one time, but burnt out a little on it. I'll check back on it. Although I think someone else had done some work on it too... And Rhannon, do those triple grins signify that you've got something to share? I know you are the king collector around here ;D Which reminds me, I wanted to know how you went about organizing all the files... I'm struggling a bit with that...

That could be very true, I do have them all Downloaded and organized (I also have all the Imperfect People Organized) Now that I think about it I have been Downloading and Categorizing everything* on the site. Lets speak more on this cowboyleland *A Vast Majority if not all Fantasy items

... And Rhannon, do those triple grins signify that you've got something to share? I know you are the king collector around here ;D Which reminds me, I wanted to know how you went about organizing all the files... I'm struggling a bit with that... Hi Anne ... No, the triple grins just mean that I have really liked Cowboy's enlisting action. ... But yes, I could have something to share ( though I donìt understand well what you mean exactly. Or rather, I can understand wrong. Anyway, this is very tied to the second part of my answer ). ... so I also I take this opportunity to reply to Squirmidad ( from the chat ) About my files' organizing I'm on the high seas ( I don't know if it says so in English, but it means that I am very far from the final result ). Many years have passed (I'd say since 2000, but surely even earlier) that I collect these files. Now they are simply too many. Some time ago I made a new folder, "GAMES", and I started to (re)organize their ( also before a part of them were arranged, but in a different way ). Now in this folder there are about only one fifth of all files (pdf, single images ...). And they are just the most recent. I try to eliminate double files ( if I have an updated file, I delete the previous, product images ...). I try to minimize the folders inner ... But only now this folder is about 40 GB, contains more than 1000 folders and 11000 files ( they aren't all paper minis ). So I'm really in a sea really high. And my memory, especially with non-commercial authors' older files, doesn't help me very much. After I said this I return to the main topic, so I reply also to Eric. Premise: Now these are just my personal thoughts. I'm not offended if someone says to me that I was wrong ( probably it is ), if there are different ideas ( thankfully ) or other. This is not the "truth" it is just my personal idea, easily mistaken. This is a great forum (and for this I must thank many people, authors and users of previous forums and groups, which led to the birth of this. Jim Hartman who has made this possible, not only materially but but also through his ideas. He is the first, imho, which had an overall view about this hobby - paper minis. Sanity Studios' guys, Eric ... and all those that currently, authors and users, participating in this wonderful forum ). I love it. And it is the best and the most solid in the world's paper figures forum ( this is not my personal opinion, it is an objective fact ). Often, for each user there are at least ten guests ... So ... yes, I would like to see some sticked topics about paper figures links, their types, as they are, where they are, what are these figures ... Not limited to free resources, including also commercial products ( why? If they cost, they become ugly? ) ... It would be nice to see these things also for other works' types. Tiles, 3D models, rules ... But of course my answer for Eric covers only paper figures ( if we will do something similar ) But to do this one person is not enough ( Eric is doing a great job. proposals, competitions, features' additions, available material ... with enormous efforts, time, probably money ... but after this a forum's vitality and quality are from all users' participation. ). Even the previous organization before thestart would be the source of many speeches ( how to do, whether to store somehow the old files before they are lost forever, ask permission ... if we still find the authors ... in this case for commercial products is easier. They last longer on the net. ... ) Ok I block myself and wait for possible replies.

Rhannon: The English phrasing would probably be "all at sea", but nobody could misunderstand your meaning, I think! Wish I'd thought about giving more descriptive text to my folder names when I started papercraft storage from online too...
Indexing files is best done as you go along, because when you come to try to organise this kind of mountain later, it seems impossibly overwhelming. The only way then to tackle it is a bit at a time, but you also need the tenacity to keep going and doing a little more every day. Spreading the work here among different people would definitely help, but we would need to see what indexes some people (with more sense than me...) have already created first, so as not to waste effort.
I like the idea of having commercial products also included in such a master index, but the problem is unlike many of the free items posted here and effectively indefinitely preserved (perhaps because the creator forgot about them), commercial products can come and go very quickly. I bought several figure sets through One Book Shelf earlier this year that are no longer available, for example, just a few months later. Many earlier model sets from Fat Dragon and World Works Games, for instance, were also retired over time, and so "disappeared".

The only way then to tackle it is a bit at a time, but you also need the tenacity to keep going and doing a little more every day. I split the "quote" in two parts to better reply and and thank you for your suggestions. Indeed. I agree with you. now my (personal) work has become a colossal effort. It will take several months by doing something per day ( almost every day ). There are really a lot MB on three different hard disk drive. But I also need an archiving program to serve as a comprehensive index ( free or commercial is not very important ). Which gives the possibility to enter different fields. And then that allows searching through these or/and specific tags. Does anyone know something like that? About a possible paper minis' topic. There are all the hoards that ( fortunately or unfortunately ) contain figures completely different from each other ( I have in mind Cowboy's search, some days ago ) and so it would require a specific list for them ( but in this case, just a common description because all of them are made in the same way. With front and back art ) Then there are all those single figures ( hundreds ) scattered in various user's personal posts or in authors' sub-section ( often abandoned for years ). There are also plenty of beautiful CG figures ( eg MadMike, x3d ... ). Can we forget them? Perhaps several figures are already in hoards ( but not many, imho ). Some ( a few imho ) have only the front art and others ( always a few ) are to be finished. Which passive tags can we use to identify them? ( This is easier for a set, imho ( eg Fantasy - Elves - male & Female ... ). And we're just talking here, within this forum. what further good resources are there outside ? I'm thinking about or Gwindel ( aka Bhoritz ) and Scarecrow's beautiful figures ( and many others authors ) ... If it is just to put a link there is no problem, imho. But if we have to save some little thing from death due to loss in oblivion. We should try to ask a permission beforehand. lthough my personal idea of who abandons something in the network ( I don't speak about commercial products ) grants the implicit permission to share it. As you can see there are many points to be clarified ... or someone proposes a better idea ...

I Think the format should be (Theme,Detail,Detail) that way we could have items organized by Theme, and the 1st detail should be a broad one. So if youre thinking in terms of file storage it would be Theme folder (Fantasy) Detail Folder (Buildings) Detail Folder (Blacksmith) and then inside the blacksmith folder would be Papercraft blacksmith buildings.
I use a very similiar system for my own personal storage. And it works very well.

I myself ponied up for an external drive to hold all my cardmodels (and numerous papertoys). I haven't ben here in quite a while, but want to thank all Hoard contributors past and present. It was BigJim's red dragon from Dungeon Plungin that set me on the path to paper minis. While I love old lead, and have taken a liking to resin and plastic, there is always room for paper minis.
