I 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.
