Alas, the old computer forum is dead and gone. We had so much stored historical computer questions there. I shall miss it. |

Massive failure at the server hosting and backing up P.com evidently. As far as we know there will be no way to mass retrieve content. If there was a particular topic that you wanted to resurrect it might be possible to find the origin in a cache location somewhere on the net and the repost it as I have with my Space Cowboys editorial. Currently the plan is to move forward. What made P.com great was never our historical content although we had nearly 100,000 topics on the news board alone. What makes P.com special is the members and hopefully we can recover most of those. |

As someone who's had plenty of experience with hosts failing, one thing you can be sure of with ZetaBoards is that it'll be around for some time! They have been up and running since 2002 on the InvisionFree platform and I believe since around 2009 as ZetaBoards (ran by the same people over at Zathyus, Brandon and Brian are quite experienced with servers and maintenance) the only downfall is the development is very slow for future built-in features and updates, their main focus however is security so that's always good to know. You guys should do just fine here. From what i've seen, only being a few days old you've already got a decent size community set up here!
