Time to Say Goodbye to the Old Forum

Postby Tirian » Mar 09, 2015 3:21 pm

The old forum (so very old) is being permanently retired and will be bulldozed at the end of March 2015. So if you want to spend a last few days treading those hallowed halls, best get to it! :D

I don't think I had a working password last time I visited.
Is it possible to gain one at this late stage?

Don't need to do any reminiscing, but I wanted to say "thank you" to Tirian for preserving the old forum for such a long time after we moved for the sentimental folks. :)

Agreed with Gymmie. . . . . It's very sad to see it go, but I understand :(

So . . . are you redesigning it or are you just putting the Forum up for retirement for good . . . ?

Aslan Fan, the original forum software and the old posts that were created on that software is what's going away. The current forum is not. Basically, it's time to clear out some storage space and in internet terms, the older stuff needs to be what goes.

Thanks for letting us know Tirian. I have a lot of good memories of that version of the forum. :)

For some more info Aslan Fan, Tirian redesigned the site some time in 2008 or 2009 (I forget which) to what you see right now. However they archived the original forum and site for all this time so that members could still see how it looked the day before the switch. They need more space so they are retiring that archive, not the site you are on right now ;)

What is happening to the rest of the old site? I have started copying news stories etc but do I need to?

That's what I was hoping. I collected a lot of early NZ stories, transcribed several TV news items, and took a few photos. Even featured in a few myself!

While I was never a member at the old forum, I loved lurking there and I shall miss it. :ymhug: Many thanks to Tirian for keeping it available for perusal all these years! I have enjoyed going back there and reminiscing a number of times. :)

Love the old forum; love the new forum. Thank you, Tirian, for giving us this beloved 2nd home for these many years :ymhug: ... and for keeping the old place accessible all this time for sentimental visits now and then. :)

Well, anything good I said or did there, it will be gone. Likewise any stupid things I said or did. And one or two unhappy experiences - gone.

Just took a look at some pages from the old forum (apparently it has not been bulldozed yet). I only became a member of NarniaWeb just over a year before the new forum started in September of 2009. So I was a little involved in the old one, but not very much, sadly.

However, I do have some memories of it, because my mom (johobbit) was quite involved there. It was fun to go back through some of the old pages just now, and see some names of members who were involved back then, many of whom are not currently involved in the new forum. (Ah, memories. :ymdaydream: :) )

Anyway, a huge thanks to Tirian for your commitment to the old forum and the new one, and a fond FAREWELL to the dear old site! :ymhug:
