"Are the files from that bbs still available?" Bruce,
The short answer is "not readily available". Here is the long answer. We have archived and stored the old forum's database on portable media and plan to make it available sometime in the future. Activity on the old forums had essentially ceased when the reflector was brought on line. The decision was made by FlexRadio to change to a set of integrated products for information management; namely the Knowledge Base (KB). The KB has a companion product which is a forum and we changed to that product with the intent that forum threads could be easily converted to KB articles. This inter-product integration was supposed to be available several months ago, but the release date has slipped significantly. Unfortunately the old forums database structure was not compatible with the new forums that are currently in use. The forums software developer has promised a conversion utility with the next major upgrade of the forums that will allow us (hopefully) to restore all of the old forum's articles in their entirety. To date there is not an ETA for that upgrade. If for some reason we are not able to import the old forum's data into the current forums, we have discussed plans to provide the information in a read-only format. That project is not high on the priority list (actually, you are only the second person who has inquired about them in the past 10 months). Since all of the information management work for FlexRadio is performed by volunteers pro bono, (this keeps the cost of the radios down due to reduced overhead) we want to make sure that what we do work on is (1) specifically requested by FlexRadio and (2) will provide the most value to the users of FlexRadio products. While this isn't the answer you really wanted to hear, we do recognize the value of the information in the old forums (and a bit of SDR history as well) and do plan to make it available sometime in the future. -Tim, W4TME ---- FRS KB Administrator -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce K3CMZ Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:40 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] The Old Archives 3-Board Set Hi At one time Flex sold a three board set, and there was a forum or bbs also!
