I agree 100%... it happened a few years ago to another smaller pontiac niche forum... tons of info & knowledge over 10-15 years just gone...

Unless anyone knows how to use one of those "archive" website retrievers things. Another forum for home audio Im a long time member at just went through some drama from the admins or host company that banned all talk of "modifying or upgrading" their products which was just as popular as doing that to classic cars, and some members mentioned a archive software or program or web service that can retrieve deleted threads. Imagine admins here banning all talk of how to modify or upgrade or increase horsepower on pontiac engines for the sole reason that they thought all Pontiacs should be kept original as they were made on day 1... any mods or change of parts made them, & I quote, "no longer a Pontiac" That literally happened on a long time well know audio brand forum with 2-3 decades of how to improve or upgrade their products. Ridiculous.

So if something were to happen to PY, there are ways to retrieve & save the majority of threads or info... Im just not 100% sure how to do that but its a pretty common thing.

PS, I am able to log in OK as of now but had problems earlier this morning... I was automatically signed out without doing it myself, then when signed back in, the site seems to be working good again... knock on wood.
