DarianF Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 1 hour ago, Moonlight said: this is really worrisome.....for some of us here it is really a loss 10.000nds of posts 1000nds of members...... and after the attack of the second forum all posts are lost too If you post something that you think is highly valuable - for example, a particular scientific study and your take on it - and you don't want to lose it, just be sure to mirror a copy on your own computer on an external hard drive or something. Worse case scenario, the forums gets lost, you just copy and paste your most important research on the new forums later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lake Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Just now, Moonlight said: its not a backup from the old forum cause our posts are all lost Posts are all lost from the hacked forum which ran from end Feb 2019 to 15/16 May 2020 when it was hacked, so about 110-120K posts lost. But the 'old' forum with 5.8 million posts which was made read only end Feb 2019 and disappeared end Feb 2020 .... there is a backup of that! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was/is mate https://web.archive.org/web/20191221170334/https://forum.davidicke.com/index.php I believe there first was the 'Harris' forum and then the above linked forum .... then the 'hacked' forum and now this one. The above linked is being called the 'legacy' forum and was meant to be read only from end Feb 2019 .... but a year later it disappeared?

ink Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Any news on this being put back online yet? Only been 16 months since it was removed .... disappeared end Feb 2020 .... not hacked and the database does exist. Over 5.8 million posts .... that is a great deal of information to be removed! And members did offer to pay for the hosting (if that was the issue) So .... any news?
