Where hard drives beat SSDs

Over the weekend I've been browsing through some very old hard disks.

That surprised me.

Of course finding a PC that supports these old SCSI and IDE drives is a mission in itself but once that problem is overcome, old drives seem to be pretty good at retaining the data stored on them all those years ago.

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
