Please note that the previous "Tiers" are currently not operational (but will be worked on).
You can still cancel any previous re-occurring donations to make new ones which will go to the new Treasurer Admin (Zacam).

I've heard that the VW archives has been taken down permently. My question is what happened to all the stuff on it?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

What happened to all the stuff on it? I believe the sum total of it probably lays quietly on the hard drives of a few VW staffers, especially Remora (who used to do a lot of stuff with the Archives). I'm sure if you ask him over at the VWBB, he'll know the most on this one. :nod:

Thanks. I'll get around to it eventually.

That doesn't have the VWArchives downloads. Just the VW downloads.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

And what did happen to the archives?
