Looking for a really old warcraft 3 map

[Godzealots]

When I was a kid I made a warcraft 3 map called dracula x. I uploaded to infoceptor.... but the site is gone now. Anyone have archives of very old maps?

@Hallfiry has:
What are the oldest Warcraft 3 maps?

... though I am not sure he may still have a copy of yours.

Yes that was me! And that was the map. WOW how did you know? Any ideas how to recover it?

Recovery is going to be hard unless the map was quite popular sadly, most of the databases from that time are now defunct. there maybe a chance some one here has an old pc laying around with a heap of maps stored.

@Godzealots: what he said. What is still available from their WC3 map uploads folder is here. The only remaining copy of your map I could find there, is an old version and its archive is corrupt anyway.

For the record, v0.5 beta used to be referenced at Infoceptor.com on April 2004, as an UMS map.

Ah well. It really was crappy map made by a kid. I'll see it one day when I have a time machine.

Yep or if you remember it well enough maybe re build it

Well, you can also browse the Wayback Machine yourself, and see if it has been included in any CD-ROM from some magazine back in the day. Or you can also investigate and see if the contents of (www.infoceptor.com or of www.infoceptor.net) have been mirrored elsewhere.
