What happened to the FAQ info?
« on: May 17, 2011, 08:21:09 AM »
Ok, I know Im missing something on here, but it really appears that we no longer have access to the old FAQ info. 
Is it all gone, or did it just get put onto the COG site? 

That was a lot of useful info, and while I know there is even more on the COG site, I really dont want to/cant afford to pay for a membership to find info like that...that used to be free.
Or do  you not have to pay for site access there? 

Ive tried searching using a wayback search to get an old version of it, but its not available that way either for some reason...
Say what?

I found that most of the original FAQ & tech stuff is made available by COG for free...

I dunno.  I did sign up for a free account over there, but havent had much luck finding it. 
Different format, etc is probably to blame...but then again, it was part of our old forum, so I dont know if its over there now or not. 
I cant find it anywhere but our forum using the wayback search...

As far as I know, COG does not have any of the 'old' forum.  The forum server went splat, and the backups are toast.  Any missing info isn't the doing of COG, and the COG IT guy has offered to help in recovering data.  I'm sure the info will be re-assembled soon by the active posters here so hang in there.

Oddly enough, its in the same place as the old forum.
Under the heading "wiki-faq" and then Child Boards.

I could be wrong, but Im not sure it was there earlier!  LOL!
Looks like they added them starting about 3pm...
