Enterprise expectations from a free public service?
Seriously?

c'mon man, dont shut it down. Spin up the Disaster Recovery servers and let us use those for a while. Jyst dont swap back to production afterwards. Let us post anything as it will be hosed down and disinfected afterwards
You know, I thought about doing more or less that. But unfortunately, version 2 installs right over version 1.5 and the time required to futz around with dns and data to run both is more than I have. Might be fun to put up a disposable phpBB board for a day though.

We will either be productive at work finally, or nervously scratching our arms and neck waiting for our next fix.

Good job, looking forward to the results of your craft.

Being inherently lazy about backups, I thought I would ask Phil first to save some time before backing up some great PMs with good advice and info. I have zero expectation about b/u services for any free site. I quit gmail after I realize they scan email to target adds. Thankfully Phil does not do that. But I do like the forum ads that are inserted into threads!

For the record, Google stopped using email scan data for ad targeting in 2017. They do still scan for security purposes (e.g. anti-spam), and optionally for some of their AI enabled features. Any other free email provider is probably pretty similar.


(With apologies for the thread drift)
