Data Migration Has Been Completed

[rdprdp01]

We have completed the data migration from cb1100forum.com. We brought over 13,600+ threads and 258,000+ posts. We are in the cleanup phase now. We have done everything we can to eliminate white space left behind from graphic images that were not available to scrape. We are in the process now of trying to correct broken links. Attached files were very problematic. In the limited testing that I did on the old site, many of the attached files would not open. I believe that issue is related to site maintenance. It is definitely not related to anything a Member did while posting.

I will make everyone aware when the correct-the-url-link initiative has been completed. Like with text, graphics, and attachments, we will do the best we can. Because of the age of some of the post, links may be dead even if they are properly formatted. 

Please be advised that the data migration was a one-time event. If you post something on the old site and want it to be appear on this site, you will have to re-post. I strongly encourage you to keep a backup of anything you post on the original site. I would also encourage you not to post anything sensitive or confidential on that site, either. There are some security vulnerabilities there. 

Guth was very right when he referred to http://cb1100forum.com as a “tired and weary Forum.” The content is spectacular, the Members are even better, and Guth, The Ferret, and Cormanus built something worth preserving. However, the technical foundations are buckling. I have done the best I can to preserve the good work from all those who proceeded me. Now, I am pivoting to focus on this site and help make it what the 200 or so active members want it to be.

I will be asking for input when finish the data cleanup. Take care and have a great weekend. David
