JCR Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 For those interested, Tom Dankowski’s detecting forum has finally been upgrade to a new host platform. It is accessible via a link on the old site at the top of the page. You will have to re register for the new forum but can use your old login. The old site will remain as a read only source of information. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickUK Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It was a great forum at one time,but in recent years with folks unable to post etc it has gone down hill rapidly,i have not been able to post anything for nearly a year or so,alot of folks have all ready give up and left. I hope it will still survive but i highly doubt it will ever recover gain to its former glory,of course i do hope i am wrong but i dont think i am wrong,it should have been updated years ago.

Popular Post Steve Herschbach Posted February 11 Popular Post Share Posted February 11 It was not all the fact the forum software was dysfunctional. The freedom of speech so highly touted there was really due to there being no moderator, Wally always being busy and Tom out of the loop. Quite a few well known posters from past times were run off by trolls due to the lack of moderation. This forum was actually set up in direct response to unmoderated forums, almost all of which have now died away completely. I don’t see those people returning no matter what software is running the place as long as trolls are given free rein. Here is the link to Tom’s Old Forum and here is the direct link to Tom’s New Forum I wish them well, lots of great info posted there over the years. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to first re-register and then after you have completed re-registration and verification you are not a bot, Activate using the activation link in the email sent to the address you used to register. Worked just fine for me. I ventured over there for specific topics but the user community issues coupled with the eye watering layout meant that I had to REALLY be motivated to go there because whatever information I was seeking out was unavailable elsewhere (a rare occurrence). I re-registered to ensure access to the archived information. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
