Hey gib,
Is there any way we can capture from Wayback Machine, I know we've lost images linked to AF but the text is all there for many of our valuable threads (strangely thumbnail images have been captured) e.g.
http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20060326211107/http://www.aussiefrogs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31957&page=2

Cheers
Chris


TO make sense the original poster could copy & paste the info across to a new thread on the old/ new AF. That's handy though, didn't know that.

Is there a way to get the Wayback Machine, or Google, admins help out? (As per my earlier suggestion)

Holy crap! How can a company that provides professional hosting services be so incompetent as to have a backup system that isn't? So much has been lost! Unbelievable!

I hope the old stuff can be retrieved!

Finally found you all ...seems an impersonator got here first though wink BUSTED! :P

anyway, Thank you for the temporary web hosting...I hope we don't overburden the servers here too much.

As for recovering threads...I have a sneaking suspicion (although I'm praying it's not so) that dad might have saved half of the global warming threads cry
there are some threads that should just be able to RIP wink tongue

Dad's without a computer at the moment...I didn't have the heart to tell him anything more than aussiefrogs is down at the moment frown Hopefully a partial restoration will be possible before I have to break the whole story to him gently wink

Obviously, someone wants to 'be' you. I wonder if anyone wants to impersonate an architect though???

Some parts of the forum can certainly be found via the caches of Google, Bing and others. I found and saved page 1 of the 2007 Longstroke DS/ID census, but embedded images are lost and it doesn't give the thread and post number. It does however, give the date and time of the post, so it may be possible to build a database of posts from that information.

Another possibility is to work offline in your browser and go through your AF history to display what's in the cache and then save anything important / useful as a complete webpage with images. Try it soon, before the browser clears it's cache.

Thanks to Aus-City for helping.

Edit: If you view the source of the cached Google page, you can obtain the thread number and post number, but it doesn't display on the page. It would be possible to write code to 'read' the source file of the cached page and extract enough information to re-populate a post and thread database.

Just wondering (curious) how big the overall AF site was MB/GB wise before the crash. I have a company website where I upload & update the pages from files on my computer using FileZilla. But no forum, no traffic like AF.

Just got home from holiday to find this.................

Aaargh.

If there is anything I can do, I'd be pleased to help, but I haven't saved much from the Forum at all. Probably have the odd Alan Smith instruction and definitely the instruction on changing Xantia Clutch Cable clips without removing the dashboard.

As someone else said, if $$$$ are needed I'd be pleased to chip in.

Talking to my IT-savvy daughter, she was completely disbelieving that a backup could go so easily.

Best of luck to all those beavering away.

Now to dig out the battery charger and get the cars going.

Glad, like everybody else, that I have found this tempoary (hopefully) home of AF. Again like everybody, I hope that back-ups, if not all, but most, can be found and our old site and look can be restored.

We are all hoping some time tomorrow the old AF site should be back. Gibgib has promised to publish the IP, so the impatient ones in our ranks (me for one), can log on whilst the the changes are rippling through to the DNS'.

At present indications the restored site will be minus a few years posts, plus download centre and some of the other features.

At least we are still on the air and the regulars are still here.

None of us should forget the generosity of David and Alisa for welcoming AF members and the excellent work in getting us back on the air with a temporary host in around 24 hours.

A couple of us have been actively crawling the cache with various scripts, I'm not sure how much this will help, but I'm sure if things aren't recovered we can create something meaningful from it.

I've been running my script for a few days now, and there is still a LOOONG way to go. We're scouring yahoo, ms-live, google and wayback cache. I'd imagine most of the images and attachments cannot be retrieved.

I guess foremost is having a working site, we can discuss the recovery in more detail, but rest assured many froggers are doing whatever they can in their own way.

Gluck to the admins, and all involved.. God speed!

David.

I must be living under a rock of late!

Went to check on Aussiefrogs and I thought my computer was hijacked!

Much thanks must go to Aus-City for giving us a place for us french car tragics.

All the best to Gerry and team in restoring Aussiefrogs and making it bigger and stronger!

I can't believe AF is offline! I'm not a very regular visitor but it feels like there's something missing.

Great though that aus-city is helping out.

If I can help out I'll be glad to offer server space, it could be used to rebuild whatever can be recovered. Contact me if you want to take me up on it.

It took me a few days to understand what happened.
At the beginning I thought it was an error but today I noticed "ANNOUNCEMENT - AUSSIEFROGS.COM and backups have been deleted by a godaddy error..."

I really feel something is missing.
A big thank you to our hosts and good luck getting AF back on.
It's true that you don't know what you've got untill you lose it

I heard the GoDaddy AF servers were seen on a truck being driven by "Harry" on his way towards the nearest sea port.

Well I'm heading back to the 2006 time warp and my self-imposed abstinence from use of smilies. So here goes with a last couple.

Thank you to the AUS-CITY people. I might still drop in here occasionally and explore a bit.

Well maybe a few more.
