Maybe everyone has already seen this, but the bc.org forum will be undergoing an upgrade to a custom package. The moderators have said:

"It is likely that this content will NOT be brought over from the current system. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience, but we have to make the most of the limited budget we have, and importing existing content can get very expensive."

While all content eventually fades from the board, it sounds like the cutover to the new software will have everything starting from scratch. I'd recommend you save any information on the threads that you find worthwhile for future reference.

    Thanks BSS as I usually don't read the info post. Guess I should. (smile) I just went and read it. I'm wondering if the boards will look different after the change?

    Thanks again for the heads up!

    BBS- Am I misinterpreting this. I thought that the words this content was referring to the previous sentence, and that it was the buddy lists, private messages and favorites that probably not be brought over? I'm confused or is this clear to everyone but me?

    Saluki, I believe you read it more carefully and that they do intend to keep some content. But, I'd still record anything of particular interest as many things get lost at the last moment and the content of the message threads has been removed as it ages....I came into the group at the end of the lifespan for Edge's posts and saved only a couple in time as I realized they were disappearing.
