I had an unrelated computer error which has slowed down the process considerably. Also, the program default is to treat each post as a separate file when I should’ve set it to make a file of each thread. I hope to finish this weekend.

Late to this thread. I'm invested in the forum, so would invest some dollars too, if contributions would help keep it afloat.

I'm like a quarter-fledged? It depends on what you need done.

You two might want to fix your Avatar. Clovis is out of focus with an ad for photobucket and saltine is the blue box question mark.

Aside from that, very happy to see you!

Hi group - It seems like our Forum action has been down a lot the past year or so and I wanted to check everyone's temperature because it's getting increasingly difficult to justify the expense, unfortunately. Hosting the Forum itself isn't too costly, but to keep all of the history - all of the old threads and posts - requires about $1,000 a year in hosting. Welcome any thoughts.
Thanks!

I don't know why this forum doesn't get rid of its older posts. Every other forum I was part of did. This isn't reddit. I'd say let people back-up for a month or two then prune everything before 2015. Keep a window of 5 years open. Maybe even less.
