Any chance we could get an official word on the status and timeframe for the forum upgrade? I know this is all volunteer work, but these efforts could certainly benefit from some more proactive communications. A quarter of a year has gone by and members have left, other sites are starting to gain traction from a Carcassonne standpoint, and still no sign that there is a plan and timeframe to stabilize the site.
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

Hi Bixby,
I wrote an email to Scott two days ago.
He answers me that he will write an email to Gantry again.
Gantry is too Great that he would answers me directly.

certainly in regards to the fanspan download section i have to agree on that, always a big treat for CC fans visiting carcassonne central i reckon, was for me anyway. Just wanted to let know the technicians I have all the expansions that have appeared for download on this site in the past, stacked on a mac, so if at any time needed in case of a general loss due to the forum upgrade, i can provide a PDF back-up of all finished expansions in case that's needed.  |

Good to know, thanks! Sorry I don't have any news on the upgrade. I have been e-mailing Gantry but haven't heard anything back yet. |

I too have them all stacked on my computer...available for the asking. |

I have experience in running an SMF site. If there is interest and we have all of the files I could register a domain and setup a website for the Carcassonne Community. I am reluctant to do this without a certain level of interest though. I am guessing that Gantry's heart is just not into this site anymore. It is unfortunate, but likely a reality.

So here again some emails between me and Scott - today 07.01.2013: Scott: Won't be able to post in the forum until after work. Got an email from Gantry; he was sick over the holidays and then had two business trips. He hopes to work on the forum tonight. He can't log in to the forum to post updates himself else he would have.
my questions: Should I post at the forum the information, that Gantry likes to work on the forum tonight?
Also should I tell them again, that all the new post would get lost?
Did I understand that correct, that Gantry has the same problems with the log in like you and Matt?
Greetings

If this forum supported tapatalk that would be awesome. Easy access from android, getting alerts to replies etc  |

If these recent posts will be lost will there be a way to back them up first so they can be archived? At least for reference if they are not able to be restored? |

I think from that day since this forum is online again. 28/29.11.2012. ------------------ I posted many clarifications of the rules (between me an HiG - Georg Wild, and people from the HiG-Chat) more than 100 posts during 3 and a half month (from June to the middle of Oct 2012). It's all gone. Perhaps Gantry could repair something. I don't know. The last time - in the middle of Oct - Gantry posted that he likes to work at the forum. A half an hour later the forum was gone. I had only the choice to copy a few of the posts. And we need the posts for the CAR (from CAR 6.1 to CAR 6.2). The story about the fairy, the dispaches, the minis, the Wind Roses, the Gingerbread Man - all the post are gone. I don't say that they are lost. I hope that Gantry has some paticular updates of the postings. And then obervet03 and I were again working from the "beginning" with the CAR. We hadn't a forum and we hadn't all the important information. All the time we were working at the CAR by email. |

Ouch! That is horrible. I hope it all can be recovered. That's a terrible loss.

Carcking,
Do you remember our great talking about the Dispatches (Messages)?
All my information about the telephone calls with Georg Wild (HiG)?
All the examples? The strategy about the Dispatches?
All the postings about the Turn Summary - Skull One - all is gone.
I posted more than 106 posts (date 13.10.2012) but all the other people here were posting, too.
I think there are more than 300 - 400 posts gone.
(all from you, Scott, obervet03, MrNumbers, Skull One......)
For example the posts about the correction reading "CAR 6.0 to CAR 6.1" - that were more than 70 posts there.
This time I copied all what I need.
If the information about the new posts get lost again here in the forum, that doesn't matter for me.
I have the information as a word.doc.
