Hi, It sometimes happened to me to return to the old forum of my debut to search for old messages. There was a lot of useful information on this old forum, links to PGs… This forum was said to be dedicated to archiving and that it would not be deleted. Unfortunately, it is totally deleted. I am really very disappointed with this. I know it’s not the fact of Babylon. But it might have been useful to find a way to recover all his archives somewhere. There it is a whole very long story of the life of Babylon which is deleted and it is very regrettable I find… ---

Getting nostalgic, are you? 😉 👴 Jokes apart, I sure do hope that even if not accessible anymore through the forum the > [@Dad72](#): > > very long story of the life of Babylon has not been deleted and forgotten!!! May be we should start thinking about opening a ‘museum’ with all Babylon milestones so we can still remember and continue build on the original idea of the founders. 🤔 Never forget where you are coming from. Strength and confidence can only be gained working on a solid base. 😃 ---

yeah, i’m nostalgic. 😃 it’s at least 5 years of Babylon’s history that disappears. There were many still useful posts that cannot be found on this forum. I find it regrettable all the same to lose so much information. ---

This must be recent I was only checking some posts on it a week or two ago. I think someone archived it somewhere when the move was made. Let’s hope so and somebody knows where it is. ---
