Vault Update for March 2025

Hello retro soap community!

I thank you for your patience as @BoldRestless and I navigate on how to continue with the Vault going forward. Starting with bad news - due to changes with the registration process for Microsoft's Developer Program which is how I was able to host the Vault via OneDrive most recently, I am unable to continue hosting the Vault on OneDrive until further notice.

That being said, I'm willing to continue sharing access to the Vault via my Network Attached Storage/NAS (my personal cloud, in laymans terms). You will still be able to view episodes and upload episodes, however the procedures will be slightly different going forward.

Viewing Episodes

Simply click on this link to view the episodes - https://bit.ly/4i9lUwM. Navigate to the folder, and on the video file, either right-click (for computer/laptop users) or long tap (for mobile users), and choose "Open in new Tab".

If the video file still won't play after this, it may need to be downloaded and played using a different application, such as VLC.

Uploading Episodes

To contribute to the library of videos, please refer to the below upload links.

Upload to BB: https://bit.ly/4bDdg7k

Upload to GL: https://bit.ly/4iwYVvv

Upload to YR: https://bit.ly/4bViTO5

Before files are uploaded, please ensure the name of your video file follows the scheme (airdate - YYYY-MM-DD)-(full episode/clip). Example - 1992-07-05-Full Episode.mp4.

This will temporarily place the video files in the root folders of the soap until I find time to sort out the videos and place them into the correct folders.

Pros and Cons to this new method

One big benefit of moving out of OneDrive to my NAS is that I no longer have to segregate the soaps in order to stay under the 5TB quota, and is totally dependent on how much personal storage I have left (as of today, about 4TB). I have the ability of being able to expand the storage, albeit I'm waiting until Black Friday until 16TB hard drives go on sale again haha.

The new upload procedure also tightens control over how files are sorted and prevents accidental duplication of files, thus prematurely running out of storage space. You will also notice there is a name field for when you upload your files, so it helps the community to know who to thank every time a contribution is made.

Some drawbacks of this new system is that because it is not being run out of Microsoft's servers and instead to my machine, it's dependent on 2 factors:

1) My personal internet connection
2) Whether or not my machine is on or off.

I leave my NAS on all the time, but sometimes power trips or outages will cause it to disconnect, though not very often. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated with the online status. If playback is a little slower than usual it's also because there's likely a high amount of traffic accessing the files. If it's unbearably laggy, please download the files and play them on your device instead of streaming them.

Please let me know if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them and I appreciate your patience on this, as I do have a very busy life outside of soap opera archiving aha.

Me too.. the last year and a half... this community has made me survive everything. I live in the vault... It's the greatest calm feeling at the end of the day to open it and just play the episodes.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Chris B · Posted

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.
