Yeah I might, still figuring out whats gonna happen here, cuz I want to get the freespire forums when they expire but they are hosted on xandros server so might just get the domain name and have it forwarded to here or your forum; still thinkin what to do.

Thanks

Ray

Would you be getting ALL the threads and posts if you take over the Freespire forums???

Just curious... since several of my threads have mysteriously disappeared over there...

Yes if I can get access to the backups, unfortunately everything is stored on Xandros Server, as Ken pointed out Xandros hosts the forums on their server

But I am not giving up yet; might be a way to resurrect the removed post by restoring from a backup assuming one was done at all.

I'm of the opinion that the best you can hope for is the name. I cant see Xandros handing over the actual content as that could involve data protection issues (at least it would over this side of the pond), could be wrong though - it has been known!

Is there still a way to access the old Linspire forums?

I am not quite sure what you mean "data protection"... The forums and their content was anything from helping people with their technical problems, to rants and raves, to plain common chit chat... There were no "state secrets" as far as I know, other than the Insider forums, but even there I wouldn't care if those were opened up to the "public" for all to see.

There are entire threads missing from there though... Selective re-write of history, in my opinion, but what can you do??? I would even like the Community Board forums opened to the "public"... That way everyone would see what went on behind the scenes, somewhat.

Agree, given Xandros history I would be surprised if they release the forum database (let alone the software is proprietary, so a purchase would be required to access the database)...

Do you know who removed my threads over there???
