exactly Doody and this is already happening so we are really asking members to please put a hold on this until we know how we are going to allow it

We certainly want to preserve the posting record and arent in any way trying to stop that from being done...many here have a very looooong history on the old boards and even going through to today's BT and NT and so we are very understanding and supportive of that.

But

there are MANY ramifications from this, from copyright to people's personal wishes over their old posts as well as the problem with so much personal info, like email addys being in those old posts....people arent realising when they copy these posts and paste them here that the personal email addys of others are showing, along with THEIR posts!
That is something we really cant do

anyway

we will wait for Doc to come on when he has investigated this fully and he will give his directive
