To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

@Cody: Is it possible to get a copy of one of the backups? There’s so much history tied up in the boards, if we can at least extract and host a read-only version somewhere that would be useful.
@phkb I presume that Giles is upset about the loss of his posts on the board over the years.
Where should we regroup for the moment?
Here? Reddit? Discord? Our wiki? (Is there anywhere else?)
Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Oolite/
Another option is turning on “Discussion” on GitHub. Benefit is it keeps things together. Downside is it probably can’t import any history.

No idea! However, I've been in touch with timer, who may have a solution. He's contacted Giles.
Looks like some progress has been made: https://oolite.aegidian.org/
Well, Hi )

PS DON'T PANIC! )
Welcome to SSC, amigo!
We have backups from Giles!
Guys, I’m very busy with work today, but I’m sure the night belongs to me, I’ll do this after work.
Cool!
Looks like wayback tried to archive it on the 22nd Feb. Of course it was all hiccups then, so a lot of it is not there.
Digging around, there's quite a lot in older snapshots, but you have to massage the links a bit and re-search.
Hope the DB can be recovered, 'cos wayback is no answer 😐
I looked a little - it won't be an "easy walk"...
Forum data is NOT lost! All recovered.
We'll return our bb soon.

Sir Timer,
This will be the second time that you will have saved our bacon (if you can pull it off!).
More power to your elbows! (not to mention your knuckles!).

Timer managed to get it up and running!
We're finally back in business
There are some problems with sending - an error is received from the server, although the post itself is published. I didn’t want to write here until I fixed it)

@sscadmin Hey D1... when you get some time, a new url needs adding in the section header:
