Sean was kind enough to give me access to the old SanDiego website and ownership of the domain, so I'm working on getting the forums back online.
Unfortunately there is some bad news. The reason why the forums stopped working a couple months ago was it appears the mysql database got hosed and was completely empty other than the table names. Not really sure why it happened but it's possible the old forums had been hacked. The old hosting provider also closed up shop, so there is no way to find out for sure what happened.
Unfortunately the last native phpBB backup was from 2009, so the past 5 years of posts are gone
Bad news for sure but I guess is better than nothing. So I went ahead and ran with the 2009 data to keep some of the content for historical purposes.
Anyway the forum is coming back online at
ScanDiego Forums - Index page and has been upgraded to phpBB 3.1 release. I'm still working on getting stuff cleaned up and some forums merged, but it should be ready for some beta testing.
I'll try to get Tapatalk installed on it soon so it can be accessed from mobile devices too.
