Ok I took the time to get everything from archive.org for this mod as far as the install stuff and the other doc's. I grabbed all the screen shots (took a while but I found them) and documentation that was there. I skipped the change log, to do and donations as they really aren't necessary.

I put it all in a zip that you can get here

Hope this helps!!

admins you might want to add this link to the mod download page or just add it to the zip file as it contains everything needed.

Thanks greatly heimskr

Your timing is impeccable, even prescient, as I had only just discovered this mod yesterday.

Simply undo the installation instructions in reverse order.

Just leave the SQL structure alone when uninstalling unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing.

IF you leave the SQL patch from the installation alone after you remove the physical files, nothing will be affected by it since the installation only adds in the data tables for the news posts. But if you insist... I'll be back in a few.

There's your remove SQL code. I still say you can just LEAVE IT there since the database tables for the news don't interfere with anything and aren't referenced outside of the news script. But it's your call.

This all assumes you use the DEFAULT installation tables. If you changed your tables to something else... You have to modify the table names above to the appropriate ones.
