Our forum is now reloaded!

[aRNoLD]

Thanks to the new opportunities from a robust VPS hosting company based in the states as well as the successful retrieval and conversion of the entire batch of my almost obsolete data, now the forum of more than a decade years of age has been reloaded and come back to life, after several days of my hard work though.

Invision Power Board, when it released v1.3 which was announced as a free discussion board software but terminated its free licensing, was destined to be abandoned by the creator company, and thus I turned to InvisionFree, which now has been acquired by Tapatalk and which stopped its previously well-known free forum services and propelled its users to migrate to Zeta Board system. The conversion is quick, however not successful due to the character encoding issue. The whole process is automated and was completed in just a blink before I could realize almost all the posts have been ruined. I do have alternative ways to get them corrected, but that would be a huge job.

The feasible way out then was to restore my old forum and amended some posts to reflect the updates after previous migration to InvisionFree. The job is definitely hard, more than what I could imagine in the first place, but God bless me and I made it.

Now cheers!

Figuring out roughly what the problem was in the backend with the help of tech guys from CloudLeft.com, I successfully revived the machine and enabled the domain pointing last night. It's time that we said Good-bye to ZetaBoards that has stayed with us for a long time.
