They lost their old server. I don't remember all the details, but they had forgotten the password to the account and the email account that they signed up with didn't exist any more and I don't know what else. Long story short, they were locked out and couldn't get back in, so everything was lost when the subscription expired and they started from scratch on a new host. I've always had a suspicion that they didn't try hard enough to get back in to the old account. Then it got lost a second time, I don't remember anything about the reason for that. The forum changed ownership two or three times while all this was going on. Then the person who had it right before me decided to move it, and started up in a fresh place without bringing along the old posts. The old incarnation still exists at

I've changed hosts once already, but I did some research first and learned how to move all the old posts to the new server. Nothing's gonna get lost on my watch if I have anything to say about it lol.
