so I managed to save the forum from distruction
what actually happen was the back end database crashed and wouldn't repair this basically meant the data i.e the word we write was not able to view, now these forums are complexes of multple tables and it was difficult to sort.
but low and behold I was able to save 95 percent of the tables and it looks like most of the information is here.
the forum has moved to a new server, this is a production virtual server which is now costing me each month.. with a minimum contract of 6 months ... I may move it back to my own server (so its cheaper) in the future..
what this does mean is that somethings may not be right on the forum links may not work as they are old links to the old forum (which is broken)
if you get any issues with broken links please do take the time to private message me or email me I will fix them as we find them...
But above all 7 years of comradeship and friendship is still here... I have met some top people here and some I see as my brothers
without getting gooey I really appreciate this forum
