I NEVER VISITED THE SITE BUT VARIOUS FORUMS OFTEN DISSAPEAR THRU LACK OF FUNDS OR LACK OF PARTICIPATION. THAT IS ONE REASON TO POST AND NOT JUST LURK AS IF THERE IS NO NEW MATERIAL EVEN THE LURKERS STOP VISITING AND THE SITE DIES.
I HOPE THE INFORMATION ON THAT FORUM IS OUT THERE IN THE CLOUD SOMEWHERE EVEN IF THE FORUM IS GONE.
I HOPE SOME PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE FOR THIS FORUM TO SURVIVE AS AN ARCHIVE EVEN IF IT STOPS BEING ACTIVE AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. PERHAPS SOME LINKS OR SPONSERSHIP WITH SOME UNIVERSITY COULD PROVIDE THIS INSURANCE/BACKUP.
