What does Trello's archiving mean?

Distribution UE Marketplace
1

I have recently seen that 2 Items I was looking forward to have been archived in Trello. (“Modular Cliff and Rock set” and “Universal Sound FX”) But what does that mean? The Rock set had a lot of votes and the Sound FX wasn’t too bad with 31 votes. I first thought It might be that those 2 Items are being made ready for the marketplace but other Items were moved to “Promoted to Marketplace” or “In Marketplace Queue” so moving items to archive for me means that they will most likely not come to the marketplace at all. Which can be different Reasons for that for example Problems with the Informations about the Seller etc. or with Fraud and trying to sell stolen Assets etc. and I really would like to know what happend to them and if they ever will see the light of the marketplace and if not, why?

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that the Modular Cliff set was using at least one asset from one of the UDK demos (RockMesa_06 from the Foliage demo).

Archival is approximately equivalent to deletion in Trello. Those items likely aren’t going to make it onto the marketplace for whatever reason, whether copyright infringement as BardicKnowledge claims, or whatever other reason.

I just looked at it and It seems very similar, but I can’t see 100% parity.

The transparent answer to why “Modular Cliff and Rock set” was archived is that the author had a mishap with their computer, didn’t have a back up, and lost the files before they could submit the actual project. Life happens. :slight_smile: We will have other rock sets available shortly, no worries!

Nooo, so Sad :frowning: Thanks for the transparent answer though! Always good to have a nice SVN or similar to save your stuff :slight_smile:
Really liked the Rocks, both Design and Texture/TextureColor, looking forward to other Rock Sets then :slight_smile:

We were saddened by this too :frowning:

Backups are very important. I started trying to clean up my folder structure in the project i’m working on, and managed to jack stuff up and lose some materials I’d put some time into, only to realize I hadn’t backed it up recently. Always back up your project right before major changes! External hard drives are cheap, as are usb sticks.
