BB, happy to see you giving oversight to the 'new' iteration. What I'm worried about is the legacy content that has the potential to be lost. I had a hard time finding the pictures from the 2004 HHAD get together, finally found it on the way back machine, and not great quality either. Those were the fun days when you could wander around Bintabaht and run into many of the members out on the piss. Not much these days. Last I ran into anyone was Nereus in Bangkok over a year ago. He's usually quite active, but haven't seen his presence for a while.

one thing that may be of interest would be a follow up of active past members and where are the now. Vital Spart was always interesting, also H H Farang, Oakdale etc

I honestly don't know. Hopefully one of the developers will see your question, and provide an answer.

No, that is a phpBB plugin and the forum will be moving off this software.

The new place will be a 'lite' version of here so it is kept as simple as possible with 'no frills' to reduce the software and maintenance overheads.

We can't keep the legacy content online because the 20-year database is huge, it will be archived offline. Members will have the opportunity to copy over anything they want as the two will run in tandem for a while, there will be more from Lev on this next week I think.

I, also, like to visit year's ago posts, legacy content and the like. Will you be archiving all the posts before moving, with given access to members, or no? I've a lot of time on my hands at the mo, I could archive stuff... but using a wayback machine, website crawler or, god forbid, manual archiving ( :shock: ) is fiddly without access and permissions Mr. Lev has. :D

Be a shame to lose our last few decades of discussion.

Edit: apologies if addressed already, may have missed some posts
