Preserving this site

[PerspectiveShift]

I swear by all the Saints of the Light-Side that I am Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul; I swear that this website is getting shutdown immediately and archived.

This is an interesting way to share a personal opinion...

Robert Bruce's Astral Dynamics Forum is experiencing severe problems right now because of an attempt to upgrade. Their old Forum has gone into "read only" mode and you have to be a signed in member of the new Forum to even peruse there!  They are charging for a special "Silver membership" too.

  They have indicated that they are going to lose a lot of threads and posts due to the new upgrade. So, no, let's not do that here!

As they say in my country: "Totgesagte leben länger."

Or maybe we could also say: "Astraldynamics is dead. Long live Astraldynamics!"

 

... because so far RB's Astraldynamics is not read only mode or shut down and still quite active with new posts. A few new members even did register and are posting. I've also just recently posted there although (like here) I rarely do.
So it was not shut down or frozen after all, well, at least not yet. Maybe it won't at all because RB might have realised that there is even still more traffic now than on his (imv quite dull looking) 'new' forum and so he 'let's it be' as it is?

 Volgerle/Sinera, I posted that after I read this post by CFTraveller at this link here:
https://www.astraldynamics.com.au/showthread.php?39401-Dear-Members

 I then visited the new Forum and saw I couldn't access any posts unless I was a signed in member. Not that I couldn't post a reply, but I couldn't even access the Forum unless I was a signed in member. That's why I posted what I did above. I was just posting what I had read and seen for myself there.

 I was hoping it wasn't true though. There is a ton of great info that would need to be archived. That would be a lot of work for anyone to do!

Ok, didn't know or remember that one could not read posts when logged out there because I always remain logged in to forums so when I come back I don't need to log in.

The site is glitching for Me. I have spoken to a few other members of this website; they are also reporting problems.

I hope this website is backed-up, in time.

For that, all I can suggest is to clear your browsers cache - otherwise a full browser reset might be required too.

Other than that, there's not much else anyone can do about that. 
Since the majority of people are not having any issues, this is most likely a problem on your end.

Fair enough. I'll move the tech question to another thread.

Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul: The swears in this thread did not bind.

These two sentences are getting deactivated: [Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul] This website is getting shut-down och archived. Everyone is ordered to go to Dream Views immediately.

I've been lurking here for a-while. I hope Astral Pulse remains here and community stays intact. Astral Dynamics went into read-only mode a month ago. I've never been to 'the Law of One."

I'm moving the off-topic stuff to another thread.

I have full faith in Xanth and this forum. Astral Pulse has a-lot of valuable information. I love the community here.

Edits:-

Fixed a typo.

There's a good 20+ years of information and data on this site... would be interesting to be able collate all of the data.

Adrian has all the backups, but the forum software is extremely old and cannot be updated any further.

The waybackmachine has snapshots of the entire site over the course of the last 20 years as well.

I took a quick look here:-
