Forum Continuity

For Site Administrator (Dave):

This Forum is a great resource and we all owe you a debt of gratitude for providing it,
but what happens if you are hit by a bus tomorrow?
It would be a shame if the forum falls by the wayside.
I hope you are working with someone to keep it going.

It would also be a shame to lose all of the info contained herein; there is a lot of pure B.S. on the Forum, but there is also an encyclopedia of good info. All too soon our “experts” will be going to the big casino in the sky and many have failed to document their knowledge in books, articles or any where else besides this Forum.

I don’t know how all this works; when you run short of space, do you just delete old stuff or is it archived somewhere?
Have you considered making a disc, memory stick, or some other thingy that would be searchable and contain all the old posts of this Forum?
I would buy such an item for reference purposes; even if you just made it available to COPS; that would be worth joining COPS just to obtain the info not available elsewhere.

Thanks for all you do for the hobby.

Thanks for the kind words.

Sorry about not responding earlier. Things have really been hectic.

Regarding the forum.

I never delete anything. When I run short of space or bandwidth I just buy more.

It would not fit on a memory stick or anything like that.

Regarding what would happen if I got hit by a bus . Well, that would not be good for the forum.

I am the only one who knows where it exists in the cloud or how to get the data off of it.
