Was wondering, in the light of the apparent ongoing IT infrastructure change - does anyone outside of Autosport have access to these forums database?

Seemingly, the priority is very low when a 3 minute fix (certificate/JQuery) takes many weeks and what guarantee is there that this server is not suddenly gone?

I've been thinking the same for a long time, the forums seem less cared for in terms of administration every year, are more and more hidden in the website navigation, and I imagine this community can disappear at any time. Hence why I opened a small side community for at least some people to keep in touch (the Discord), the old IRC server is also around and I guess lots of people also follow each other on Twitter. None of that is the same as the forums but I guess if it dies, someone will be able to talk with one another and then create another forum hosted somewhere else.

 

No idea if there's any backups of the database, I suppose not if Autosport pay the bills.

Maybe a collective should make an approach to Autosport before it's too late. I'd be perfectly happy to pay subs if necessary.

It's a pity that Discord's UI is absolutely atrocious.

On a related note: Ages ago I registered an AtlasF1 subreddit just in case if this board would cease to exist.  https://www.reddit.com/r/AtlasF1/
