Where is the Old Williams Forum?

[Kempton]

Hi Larry,
I was clicking on a bookmark in the old forum and it was not there. I had confirmed this after the switch to the new forum, but not recently. The link address I used is:

http://www.soaringnet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1547

and I can't find reference to the "new" place for the "old" forum. ¿dónde está el antiguo foro?

Hi Kempton,
The old forum was up for over a year, but it has passed to the great bit bucket in the sky. No one was visiting it, no one even asked about it until the last week when you and Peter (PK) asked about some of the data. The old server was running on ancient software, so Bryan migrated to a newer server, leaving the old stuff behind.

Today (01-16-12) I found my copy of the mysql database backup, but I am not willing to do the work to restore the data, nor will I upload it to this forum. Love to support the soaring community, but really, no one was interested in the old data in well over a year.

The DB is available for someone willing to work with it. The integrity of the data is not guaranteed.
