The Move to a New Home

I *get* that people think we should maintain the history. I appreciate that people love it and use it.

But let’s not get, you know, SILLY about the whole thing.

I think Mr. Roberts made the point succinctly when he said “I think it would be a huge benefit for the industry.” – Point taken. I’m off looking into the practicality of keeping the old stuff.

I never need something that old…until I need it…and that is usually about 5 minutes AFTER it is deleted permanently.

If you can’t move it and keep it searchable, etc. Even hosting a .zip
file with a text dump of all the posts might enable the few who need it
at some point to find an answer to a question.

Ditto. An mbox file, need not even be hosted, you can use torrenting, to
offload virtually all of the server load.
You don’t even need to do it on your own server, but public ones.

Kind regards, Dejan.

Heard.

Just so people understand: There?s zero chance of our making an mbox file available. The Lyris database is in a giant SQL Server database, which is a big part of what makes this migration so difficult.

Thank you all very much for the inputs. I?ve heard the feedback you?ve provided so far, and we?re working the issue regarding keeping ALL the archives available. I?ll report back when I have an answer for you on that issue.

Aside from the archive issue, if anybody has any other thoughts, ideas, suggestions, requests, or concerns, this would be a great time to raise them.

Can the sql db be made public?

One thing I’ve noticed is that my email spam filter has seen a big increase
in forum email routed to the spam bucket. I’m trying to decide if that is a
feature or a bug.
