The forums are getting shut down soon, so i'd advise anyone who needs information hosted there to back it up, maybe rewrite it as a wiki article here.

Due to various security vulnerabilities
This doesn't seem a valid reason to shutdown when you can switch to a different more secure bulletin board platform...

That may have to do with the planned new forum that was to be written from scratch, but i don't know if that's still the plan.

Or are there other reasons? I remember the sour relationship you had with the members of the Sven-Coop development team. Anyway, you will be a little tempted to feel a kind of cruel satisfaction ... :crowbar:

I am in no way involved with this decision, and my only concern is that valuable information could be lost.

I know, I know. I was just joking, I must left that clear... :lol:

But as Rufee said, I think that there must be another reasons. Aniway, I remember when Thewavelenght closed beacuse it was attacked by a massive flood of porn spam, it ruined the continuity of my Mod as far as I emember (I denounced it to the cybernetic police of the authorities of my country because the age of the images were of girls less than extremely barely legal). After that, none remained of TWL except the old archive. Even the forums cannot be rescued of the disaster.

Four year old version of vBulletin probably isn't great...

What subforums have the good information? I never really used the Sven Coop forums much.

Id say every subforum under Mapping is the biggest amount of stuff and tutorial content. Modelling has some stuff too but the bulk of newer info I already have mirrored on my site since Ive written newer, more up to date workflows.

But as said in the original thread it will be archived in some form
