Russia Defense .net forum shut down by hosting company

[partyparty]

Partyparty, what username did you have on RDF? I also thought that access had been blocked for me from within the country.

I was parfar, i tried using the same username here but they said it was taken.

New forum should be renamed "Pavlov's House" because of the resilience and hardwork of members.

the site now is 100% recovered from waybackwhen archive.

the userdatabase has been imported and all users are in.

two users had a issue due to having 2 emails on their profile. one was biggazza

just waiting on Garryb to confirm if we can transfer the domain name or not.

all the content needs to have links to the old domain name removed if not.

Im not expecting big issues and hopefully back up by saturday night SEA timezone

when its back up and running just send us a link to the site.

Words fail me, and I'd like to think that I can speak for everyone at RDF in extending a huge thank you for your efforts in this regard! Its really quite uplifting and its done a lot to restore my faith in our species We're in your debt

you will be able to request a password reset, it is a new user database so all passwords are unknown.

it will be on a phpbb forum board, the reason being we have to recover the site in html scrapped files so we need to use a new board that has lots of scripts available to import and correct the old content.

once all the content is imported into my local version I can backup the database and import into a live site hosted on the web.

so far no hiccups but I expect 1-2 to arise and then be fixed

i will not be able to take a link in the e-mail i used in forum because i have no access anymore. It was an e-mail in my university department domain and they changed to outlook office365 in the summer. My account probably has been deactivated because it was an old one (20 years) and used a different e-mail adress extension than more recent ones
