Yes unfortunately I think so.
Is there any thread in particular that you are thinking of though?
Some members have posted links to some threads and I've also got a couple of them saved on my harddrive that I've downloaded from online.
But yes as a whole the old forum is gone. 19 years of history just vanished into thin air.
But the good news is that after 2 years since the crash the forum is still here and is still going strong with 1000s of new posts.
Welcome back to the board
@Justine . I am assuming that you used to post here before since you asked about the old forum threads.
