How far back do we need to go for your previous posts? Where have you been and where are you now?

Hi Marcus! Welcome to the forum. We certainly don't mind and welcome anyone who want to help the community.
I unfortunately do not have anywhere close to the time I had in the past to post so I doubt I will be able to interact much with you but wish you will enjoy your time here with us.

I remember marcus's attempts to always provide useful information to people asking questions at the old place.

The old Forum does not exist anymore since the end of last June , so all data was lost .

Where have you been and where are you now?

I am still living in Indonesia , in the same place since 2005 .

Huh!? What do you mean by "all data was lost"???

I meant that because the old Forum's website stopped operating definitively , we will never be able to access any of the messages/posts that was there .

Wow, that's a shame. A lot of info down the tubes.

Yes, and for the second time the work of hundreds of posters have been thrown to the bin. In 2008 already when the forum moved from its old platform to the "new" one ten of thousands of post just got destroyed. I supposed that the amount collected from the dozens of sponsors the website has is not enough to pay for the hosting of the simple forum.
With a single sponsor we can pay all bills of this forum but hey! what do I know.

Sadly, not that surprising. Keeping that forum running correctly never seemed a high priority.

Glad to see you here, Marcus! Always enjoyed your posts.

Oh no ! I hate travelling (besides I care about the pollution) . I went there last year after 6 years without going anywhere .
