Hadn't look at that list in ages, but I see several things that say "hosting required". As always, folks are welcome to send things to me and I will put them somewhere. Or with some effort I can slurp down an entire web site if I know it's going to go away. Getting things out of the wayback machine is often possible but doesn't always give a complete or useful result.

By R Soul Three Cylinders to smooth arch : (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138473) http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138473

Some really good info. If you see Architecture you like, open it up in dromed and note how it was done, then experiment to see what works for you. There is the 3 arches trick using wedges, and by rotating brushes to get smooth effects.

I'm currently revising the tutorials overview on the first page.

Instead of listing each website and putting the tutorial titles beneath it, I've now picked a different classification that displays each tutorial individually with right below it the locations where it can be viewed. And each tutorial is now put under a certain category, if possible (like architecture, light & shadow, textures, etc). See the bottom part of the overview for the new look. It should be an improvement (just look under a category or use Ctrl + F to search).

I appreciate any feedback or suggestions about this classification. Let me know if you have a better idea about categories or where to list a certain tut.
Also, in case you notice any missing tutorials, feel free to mention it here.

Some old websites are revived using the Wayback Machine - notice "(revived. Hosting needed?)" behind the link. It might be a good idea to have these transfered to a more permanent location. Jason has expressed interest to host any sites send to him (see his above post of 14 Sep). I'm unsure if it's needed to save all of them from oblivion though, as some of the tutorials might be hopelessly outdated.

I think this is a great idea. Organization by topic will be very useful. I suggest that as you read through each tutorial that you assign one or more key words to the tutorial describing the content. Some will only get one keyword, others might get several because the tutorial touches on more than one topic. If you do this in excel, duplicating a tutorial's row for each keyword assigned, you should be able to take a list which is sorted by tutorial and resort it by key word easily. That way the topic list for the 1st page will create itself with no extra work on your part.

What I was suggesting would result in the tutorial getting referenced in each category that applies. People will be looking up tutorials for a purpose, and the ability to find pertinent tutorials, which is what I thought you were proposing, will be a great boon. I was just suggesting a method which would make your job much easier. Once you did the hard work of tagging each tutorial with keyword / topics, generating the list by keyword would be automatic. Yes, some tutorials would be listed in multiple sections because they pertain to multiple topics. And that makes finding what you need much easier.
