Can't we get the old forum up again?

Hi Team,

First off i gotta say yall are doing the God’s work keeping this community alive. Thanks for that.

I used to get so much of help from the old forum cod4x had and ever since we moved to a new forum i guess we have missed a lot from the old posts of what it used to have. it was super informative.

Can’t we get the old forum back up again? or maybe move all the posts which it had to this one?

You used to be able to still access it here

It was very very slow but the info was still there. I just tried again and the front page come up very very briefly, but after that could see nothing anymore. Agree with you because there was so much information on there that we could go back and check again.

I dont think to make any transfer as such now is possible. It has been so long.

There was discussion of this coming back online a while ago and I think it just got abandoned because we thought others did not use it any more. I’ve reached out to the right person to see what can be done.

I do know you the old forums wont be back to “normal” but we can probably get them back online to that old link @SMiLeY mentioned.

Why not just import all the old posts / users to this one?

Because it’s not possibe

@SMiLeY Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately it just loads up the home page and clicking on anything shows up a 500 Page Error :frowning:

Here is the import script for Invision forum. There are two not sure which version the old forum was on.

The only thing this will mess up the current forum, and I really don’t want to nuke it if not necessary.
As I said, if someone missing something on the old forum, just ask again…
Maybe I will come up with a docker container for it, which runs an old version of php at some point, but not now. We have most people around from the old forum and now on Discord too, so chances they still know the answers what people asked back then, is really high.
