The future of Infekted.org

[MBTC]

Agreed, it would be a shame to lose all of the valuable info that's been posted over the years. The Virus has had such a long product lifecycle, and even many vintage synths which had much shorter lifecycles still have enthusiasts searching the web for every bit of know how they can find 40 years later, even if its a bitmap of a page from an old printed manual.

One idea that comes to mind (if upgrading vBulletin and keeping an interactive forum is not a possible option), maybe there is a way to scrape all the data (I know there are services that do this), and dump it to one gigantic .pdf (or a series of .pdfs) for offline reading. Then perhaps you could even monetize it, sell copies of it on Amazon maybe? You own the content, and are entitled to any value it brings, and it will be valuable to some folks some of the time in the future.

A second idea... if lack of activity from Access is a key issue, what about expansion? Are you still interested in synths at all, even if other brands? Lots of interesting things going on with analog these days. Maybe there's a way to make this forum a sub-forum of a site covering more synths or topics?

Just some thoughts that come to mind, I'd hate to see it go away completely.
