Message Boards have been down for weeks. Did "Sammy" stop paying the the bills and moved on? Temporary glitch? Or just realization takeover of a long-held desire to delete 2 decades of great content very threatening to supremacists, arabists, eurocentrics, extreme "afroenthusiasts" "monitorists" or just plain blinkered liberals and racialists?

^ Yeah, a couple of threads have already been created on this this issue. And the answer to your query is that nobody knows! I, and pretty sure a few others, have emailed the webmaster (Sammy?) but with no response yet. When data has exceeded its disc space, all the existing data is unable to be processed and configured for viewing, let alone use like posting new data. As long as disc space is not freed up by deleting old, preferably useless data like all the garbage spam and troll posts if not entire threads, and/or new disc space is purchased, then all the data that exists will just remain in digital limbo. Really, we were too complacent in depending on Egyptsearch to store all the valuable data we've gathered and researched. This is especially true for me since I used to store all the new data I've collected, whether papers or pictures in my pc.

I hope others have too. All of the data can't be duplicated, but all the basic info I am sure folks can recreate. Hopefully ES can get back up and running. Used to be the WayBack machine archived stuff in text form but unknown if anything would have been done with ES.

^ I forgot to mention there's a 3rd option Sammy could apply and that is after deleting all the junk data or purchasing more disc space, he could just get rid of posting the app indefinitely and turn the forum into an archive where all the data is available for viewing only. If this was done, then that would be sufficient enough since everyone will still have access to all the data.

When the website went offline, for the very first time, it happened right in the middle of a conversation about the desirability of East Asian males in Scandinavian countries, compared to East Asian women, in the area of dating. You make of that what you will.

^ LOL Of all the things, you think that conversation somehow instigated what happened to the forum??
