The forum has in fact switched servers and forum software several times over the 11 years of its existence. Migrations and (necessary) upgrades are a recipe for losing attachments. I actually have all the files that were hosted here, but reconnecting them to posts is a horrible and nearly impossible job. The new forum system seems very stable and has a very easy upgrade path, so hopefully we can stick with this for the foreseeable future.
Jay and Crispvs, I'd love to see the award system reinstated, but that was a true 'hack' in the old forum. I've been trying to find an equivalent for this system, but haven't found any dependable modification. The other objection is that we'd have to have reliable medal moderators who'd be willing to sift through the candidates every so many weeks.
Mike: I'll see if there's a fix to that.
