cheeetaz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm pretty sure the question has been answered somewhere but i couldn't find anything. What are the chances the new owners will keep the site up as it is right now? New owners doesn't have to mean the site will die. Why would you buy a successful site like this and let it die?

the_escapist Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The band should buy the site and pay for its maintenance. Are there any costs associated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Its been discussed. Have the band and their management involved with this site and we can kiss our multimedia section goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 No one want us to do anything. They will let this site die and we will have no data found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeetaz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Its been discussed. Have the band and their management involved with this site and we can kiss our multimedia section goodbye. I'd rather have a great forum without the multimedia section than no forum at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafaelchampion Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Software has no idea yet but nothing less than 100GB. It can be much (much) more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeetaz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 And the even more important question: What are you gonna do with it. Clicking through all the forums every day like in the "good old times"? The multimedia section might be useful but the rest is just massive data on your hard drive that you probably never gonna need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I would assume that if/when the forum pops up you can export back the data. Or have the MM links be saved at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 And the even more important question: What are you gonna do with it. Clicking through all the forums every day like in the "good old times"? It's the same question you would ask someone for using an encyclopedia. Come on, someone had to do something. And as I said, I am not backing Coldplaying.com/forum up. I am backing Coldplaing.com/*everything* up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Crieff Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'd rather have a great forum without the multimedia section than no forum at all. this, we can open a simple blog or something like that for the multimedia I am backing this entire thing up.

cheeetaz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It's the same question you would ask someone for using an encyclopedia. Come on, someone had to do something. Sure there is some useful information in there but when i think about the "Count to a million" or "The Pub" thread it's just massive, probably useless, data. But in case we ever gonna need it. Thanks for backing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Crieff Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Look for WinHTTrack Website Copier Hmm tried that a few days ago I think but it didn't work... Do you know if you can save a single thread, by chance? Sure there is some useful information in there but when i think about the "Count to a million" or "The Pub" thread it's just massive, probably useless, data. But in case we ever gonna need it.

rafaelchampion Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hmm tried that a few days ago I think but it didn't work... It has managed to download the HTML so far but layout is a bit messy. I'll try some HTML data modeler later. Do you know if you can save a single thread, by chance? Yes, sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
