Hello Everyone,
I happy to announce that, after a two month effort, the archive process of the old forum has been completed. In total, 4,546 topics from the old site were moved over to this forum. I want to touch base on a couple of things with the old posts:

  • Posts from the old site were transferred by the @ArchiveBot user and given the tag SonexBuildersnet to make it more apparent which posts are old discussion vs. new discussion.

  • Each topic had it’s timestamp changed to the original date to add context to the older content

  • The last snapshot taken by the non-profit Internet Archive was on August 21, 2024 so unfortunately there are about 5 months of newer posts that are totally lost.

  • I did my best to retain as many images from the old site but depending on how each post was archived, some were not able to be transferred. If desired, I can do a deeper dive on archived posts to see if there is another way to restore the images and attachments. At the bottom of the post that you’d like more restoration work on, click the flag icon at the bottom and select “Broken Link/Missing Picture” as a report reason.

  • Try to refrain from replying to the archived posts (unless offering an update or clarification) to promote discussion in the newer format.

If you have any questions or recommendations, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for sticking with me while I work on this project!
