Hi everyone,
Great to see A.D.A. back online after the recent
downtime!
It also got me thinking: A.D.A. has become a valuable piece of Amiga demoscene history, especially the forum with its many technical discussions, coding tips and exchanges between sceners over the years. It would be a real shame to lose all that knowledge someday.
Maybe it's time to think about preserving it for the long term? This could be as simple as a proper backup or static archive, or perhaps eventually something more searchable, using modern tools.
I'm not suggesting replacing A.D.A. or starting a competing site; quite the opposite! I'd be happy to contribute some time and technical effort over the winter to help preserve and support what's already here.
Perhaps z5 or the other people involved could comment on whether backups already exist and whether a database export might be an option for preservation?
What do you think? Would there be interest in a small community effort around this?
