You are right Jimbo... saving that data was paramount when this new board was built... The old board was part of our growing pains, but at least the data was saved... It was more than a year of discussion. It is a real shame that the effort to convert the database to this format would be a monumental task... at least the data is there...

It makes me cringe to think of how much Luger data WAS lost on the original Lugerforum discussion board that was hosted in Taiwan back in 1998... Once the screen was full, the old posts just vanished forever... That fact, and a very slow server response was the driving force in moving the board to the U.S. and changing the discussion format to one that archived all posts and was searchable... the only thing missing is some of the accompanying photos...

Thanks John D. for providing such a home for such a wealth of information.
