I friend of mine needs the text files and say they are no longer there,.

I nevr knew they even had them in txt format...

The stat sheets are in HTML, which I suppose could be converted to a text-based file with some work. But the game books are strictly .pdf. I don't recall them being in .txt on the old site.

Yeah, I don't recall there being a text file, but they did get rid of various xml and csv files.

And they got rid of the corrections reports. There's an in-house/non-public version of the gamebooks which has all the corrections marked with those little comment "bubbles."

You can convert the pdf files to a text file in Abode Acrobat Reader (well, the version I have) by selecting Save As Other > Text.

They were there and I don't think they can eliminate - the txt file was used by the video staffs to bring that data into the video
