Bringing Back AAF 1.0

[Shawn Gossman]

All,

I have discovered that I still have the database of Another Admin Forum that I had back in the 2000-teens. I initially gave it to Howard from TAZ where he transferred it to TAZ. However, he doesn't own TAZ and there was never a contract.

I could merge it into this forum.

We'd get around 50,000 extra posts and about 800+ new member accounts.

But would these people be active again? I don't know. I'd likely have to give them the ability to delete their account if they wished. I wouldn't be so reasonable to let them delete content, though, maybe change the username of it.

I want to leave this idea up to you all - the current community.

Should I, do it? Or should I keep AAF 2.0 as it is and work on building the new community as it is?

Vote and please feel free to add to the discussion in a reply.

NOTE: I do not plan to sell or give away the database. I want to make that clear. If we decide to stay as we are now. I'll be deleting it.

If the content is not found elsewhere, I’d go for it. But is it still on TAZ?

The way I see it since there wasn't a contract involved that stated you can't reuse the database, I'd bring it back. TAZ is dead in the water, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. The content would be better off coming back home to AAF.

You could also revamp some of that content as well, especially some of the topics, but that's just me. There isn't anything wrong with bringing it back.
