Request to archive old forums

Postby Contact » Thu Nov 07, 2013 10:29 am

For the sake of nostalgia, is it possible to archive the old forums after they're shut down?
It's not a big deal and I'd understand if it's not feasible. Not even sure I'd ever visit the old forums, but it might feel good to know that they are still there.

Either way it's worth the change to this php format. 8-)

HI Contact - good idea. We will look into doing that. Great to see you on our new board. :!: :!:

will check what database the old board used (it was hosted on a different server - so i've never dealt with it) ... we'll see if a conversion is possible to MS SQL ...

It would be wonderful if the old community board could be archived here, lotsa nostalgia there, plus recent stuff I'd rather not retype :o
The price of progress... this is a far better interface. Cheers
