Access to the old tw talk tennis board archives.

[equinox]

See that TW no longer has links to the old tw talk tennis board archives.

These archives were packed full of useful information.

Is it possible we could get access to them again?

 

[TW Staff]

Sorry, but access to the old board is no longer available.

Hey Chris/TW Staff. Does the archive of the old board still exist? Or is it gone forever?

If you guys regularly backed up your server, is there a tape back up or anything in existence? If there is, i'd love to get my hands on it, i could host it for you guys!

Changing software, doesn't mean tw should lose access to data!

I think TW changed because they hitting there license usage limits (maximum number of page-views per day). After which the server becomes unavailable.
This explains why the old talk tennis was never available, it was getting to popular!

I found this comment in the old boards archive html.

I not %100 sure but didn't TW need a license for the old webcrossings software?

Maybe they don't have a software license for it anymore?

Maybe they can't convert to VB format?

WebCrossing can export its forums in SGML, which is structured, so it should be possible to write a script to dump that into a database. That takes, time, of course, which, alas, is in short supply among our real programmers.

Chris,

Please ask jon to dump the webcrossing forum data to sgml and write a quick script to convert the sgml dump to newer vBulletin format.

He'll enjoy doing that task. :mrgreen:

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun!! :-?

I will check to see if this database still exists. If it does I'll reinstate the archives.
