hope it is ok to post.

Due to design differences and the cost of custom software to make the move, we are NOT moving over old posts from the current forum. However, the current forum will be available for viewing until December 31, 2019 when those licenses expire. At that time the database will be archived into a simple text format so we have a way to search it, even if it won't be pretty to view.

This is good news. Especially, for all the valuable content in the IBR threads.

Where is the link to access old forum content?

Just log on to the old Forum.

I suppose my follow-up question will be - once this forum has it's "600 mile break-in" checkout, will the original forum be placed in a read-only mode? From a user's perspective (not to mention the hard working admin staff!) be rather tough to try and have two forums to manage - and the discussion threads that could be at either location could also be quite confusing.

Thanks - and appreciate the look behind the curtain! Happy Holidays to you and all of the IBA crew!

Yes, it will be in read-only mode.

I'd really hope that there would be a way of indexing the data - to a small degree - once the old forum software has been shut-down, and the database information (e.g. the posts...) is saved.

Now, it'll probably not be nearly as nice as the indexing of the LDRiders list, but it'd be similar - and would be accessible via the ironbutt.org forum portal - link to get here and link that points to data prior to the 'go-live' at this forum.

Again, much thanks for the crew behind the scenes that makes this possible!
