Title: what happened to the site/forums

Post by: LeighP on August 22, 2021, 10:43:44 PM: A couple of outages, loss of backups. The site has been upgraded to run on newer versions.
Yes, we lost a lot of posts....

Yeah, i thought maybe the site owner just shut the site down.. Sad, that so much info and countless posts are gone.. Have users gone elsewhere, it almost seems that the site has slow traffic now. This was/is always my favorite site for Firebird /T/A Info and topics!

I still lurk from time to time, but it's certainly not what it used to be.

For me TAC is still best bar far. I have received lots of great information here.

Absolutely! I haven't been posting much but then again, I haven't done a whole lot to my Firebird recently. I don't go on FB that often (or other social media sites) but what I have seen does not compare to what we have here on TAC.
