So I was iterating through the publication numbers, and noticed that there are some runs from 2001 (and maybe even earlier as publication number seems quite non-linear). I'd love to browse through the runs by publication date. Some, such as http://tasvideos.org/15M.html don't show up in the "Movies from 20xx" page at http://tasvideos.org/Movies.html . Tompala told me that the Movies from 20xx lists un-obsoleted runs, but hey, I enjoy the obsolete ones too. I wanted to browse through them all, starting from the beginning and working towards the present. Unfortunately, there's no way for me to do that easily at the moment. Could we get a feature like this? As I go through, I'll probably pop a few up on YouTube that aren't there yet. Help me help the community. ;)

Perhaps not exactly what you are looking for, but there is this list: http://tasvideos.org/MoviePublishingHistory.html

I request a list of all movies sorted by the URL (1.html, 2.html... 50.html, 51.html, etc), but I know that the current module doesn't support that, it sorts by the publication name. We will get this list only by puting a single movie into each module. But such list is still rather easy to get I guess.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

I was planning to do such list, first as Wikipage to prototype it and then implement it as module. Like this... ... I plan adding obsoleting movie info for those movies that are obsolete.

Would it contain obsoleted movies? Also, it shall not show screenshots to be slight enough.

Note that sorting by publication date is not equivalent to this. The sole exception is the import of some "historical" TASes from before the middle of 2004, which happens in publication numbers in the latter half of the 600s.

Ah, I didn't know. Then your list is what we really need.

That is exactly what I wanted. Thank you.
