The Interweb is a Series of TubesI recently started a new preservation-centric forum called AMPS: Analog Media Preservation Society.
It's unaffiliated with OT.com and meant to serve as a supplement rather than a replacement. At the risk of being redundant, I must state that AMPS is not intended to compete with OT.com or steal its members. I do know that OT.com has had some issues with members starting independent forums in the past, so I'm trying to do this as carefully as possible.
AMPS has special access controls in place that prevent bots and indexers from accessing the meat of the forum. Among other things, members are required to post a thread in the "Welcome Board" in order to even access any of the other categories or boards.
Thanks to these special access controls, AMPS allows members to post hyperlinks to downloads. Other goodies are planned for the future, but I won't discuss them here.
Check us out! http://amps.boards.net/

I'd like to throw my support behind this, as well, and state that it is not a replacement, but a supplement. That said, I hope to see everyone over there!

Hey good to see you back, hope you are feeling better!
I'm finding the forum good to discuss film and LD projects etc. without cluttering up the main threads here.
I love the banner, Westworld FTW!

Yeah, I think it is removing a lot of clutter from the OT board, but still getting the info out there.
Glad you like the banner, poita. I had to pick Westworld as one of the titles; I love that movie!

The Interweb is a Series of TubesProBoards has suffered a minor database failure that resulted in the loss of several forums, including AMPS. We're working on restoring what we can from memory while waiting to hear back about ProBoards' backup(s). We're sorry for the inconvenience. We'll be back up as soon as possible!

Oh no! I hope you get things back online. It crashed during my marathon reading of every post. It was a very interesting and knowledgeable community.
good luck!

Yeah I hope you get it back. I really liked your forum and especially the work on the 8mm Star Wars prints.

ProBoards has no backups for us, unfortunately. We were too new to be entered into their backup cycle.
ww12345, thankfully, had been keeping a text file with all of the hyperlinks that people were posting, so we have that at least.
I managed to grab a copy of the Terms of Use/Rules from Google's cache of the Welcome Board.
That's about it. We're going to re-open tonight and start fresh. :-(

Too bad :( Anyway, thank you for the update :)

Too bad on the loss. A side-effect of a private board is that google cache is useless. :(
Hopefully boards.net allows board owners to do own backup to avoid future issues? I look forward to the fresh start!

I'd also been keeping some notes on things like cropping and stuff, but didn't think to do a real backup. We'll do what we can to get what we can remember back up...

Padawan LearnerLooks like more than that was lost. All the threads are gone too. Bummer. I guess it could be worse. At least all that information can be reposted.
