Rest in Peace, THE Forums at BoardZero.

Well, perhaps you knew that THE Forums at TransitHistory have been down for about a week now. We were hoping they would be back up for their second anniversary, but instead of this, we received news that they are GONE. Completely.

"Unfortunately we had a crash last week which corrupted our backups of all our forums," according to BoardZero. "I'm extremely sorry to say that we are not able to restore your previous posts. We've since fixed the issue that caused it (moving from phpbb2 -> 3.0) and added additional backups to our system so your data from now on is extremely safe."

"We lost a lot of great community data, but most have started back up again and are rapidly getting back to speed. Although you have to re-register your forums, a lot of speed, security, and features have been added. I personally enjoyed your forums, feel free to let me know if you have any questions or need any help getting set up."

I'm not so sure. We had so many outages over the last year that we're very uncertain if we'll remain with BoardZero.

Stay tuned to TransitHistory.org and here in the Blog for the latest on our saga...

We WILL rebuild. And hopefully quickly.
