Someone raised a valid question on the shoutbox, but I imagine it will disappear soon. Is there any chance that certain threads or subforums on PSF can be transferred to here? I ask this because I put quite a bit of time and effort into the Wondermints section, and even though it never got much response I felt it stood as good reference material for all on the board. Gone already, man!

I'm not sure yet in what capacity we can transfer threads over here, but you can feel free to find your thread in the wayback archive and copy it over here: web.archive.org/web/20180809000251/http://petsoundsforum.com/

The bad thing is that PSF has been erased, if it was still under maintainance every user could have exported his data from the pro-boards network with a click at the very bottom-right of this page on the "account settings" (or here: www.proboards.com/account/settings) then "export data" and select PSF. After a while, I received an email with a link to download my data. I did it (luckily this morning when PSF was still there) there is a folder containing csv files with everything you did on PSF (posts, likes and so on). Of course, it's a csv.. that means text is not properly formatted but you can fix it with some text editors. I wanted so much to help with these tips... but PSF is gone.

You are aware that archive.org exists? It is a powerful web archiving service. Perhaps it contains some text from the old forums? I recommend, looking at that, and copy and pasting any interesting writings you see there.

Nah, I went over to the 'archived' Pet Sounds board today looking for a lot of reference materials (mostly magazine/paper articles/reviews that Steve Mayo posted) and they weren't there. The last archived update was around April/May 2018. The stuff I was looking for was posted within the last 6 months. I took a lot of stuff off the Pet Sounds board last night before it was taken down, but I shoulda taken a lot more when I had the chance. Not all of Petsite's stuff is there either.

Mikie, I downloaded what Rob backed up. I’ll put it out on Dropbox tomorrow.

OK, cool. Then I'll move Mayo's stuff over and maybe Petsite's material if I have time.

Wish I could've transferred all of my stuff when having the chance to.
