Looking for more toybox gcf. files

Cloudscript was a system first introduced around 2010 as a way to use entities without heading to an external source such as garrysmod.org and having to install an add on for a simple fun little entity. Later, it was renamed to Toybox for unknown reasons, presumably due to it being a more fitting name. It had a basic rating system, no weapons, no map support, no custom content, no comments, etc. but as time went on, it grew and grew with features. It had many classics such as The Friendly Gnome, Escape the Box, Rave Box, Dr. Hax, and a lot more. What happened to it was unfortunate, as around the time Garry's Mod 13 was being made, the Workshop was being explored. It had better compression utilizing the gmad system and has the ability to mount materials/models/sound in-game. Unfortunately, this came with a cost. Toybox was planned to shut down a little while after GMod 13 released, due to the Workshop being superior. Garry knew that there was too much content to go, so a torrent with models, maps, materials, and sound was released. It was basically the in-game garrysmod.org, the in-game workshop. It's unfortunate what happened, but a few modders out there are trying to pick up the pieces left in old GMod installs here and there. Projects such as Funbox, 400+ pack, Old Toybox Stuff and Toybox Classics intend to restore not only old Toybox but Toybox content too. but with the help of the users named Hds46 and Lead they has finally brought back the toybox in gmod 12. so i need help finding more toybox gcf. files so we can have more old stuff from the toybox.
