Forum Archive - iDavis Community Knowledge

[SkyRider99]

It appears that iDavis has commenced data collection for a read-only archive of selected forum postings. It looks like it could be helpful for when Inno shuts down the Forum here. Of course it will only contain items that players have linked to the iDavis site. But that is better than losing everything I think.

'I'm introducing to you the Community Knowledge - an archive of all the information from the forums that is either important, interesting or considered nostalgic by you or the community!'


More information obtainable by clicking on the 'What is this?' link on the iDavis Community Knowledge page.

Thanks @SkyRider99 See here https://en.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?threads/forum-archive-community-knowledge.18317/ also.

I am not yet at that point as on Nov 1st around GMT 12:00 Inno did a forum software update. Worried me at first as the forum was down for maintenance but shows Inno are still taking care of the place.

Cheers @m4rt1n.

Archive schedule according to iDavis: 'The Phase 1 will be ended on December 12th, 2023.'

To me personally, this is more an act of defeat than reaching our goals. Because in a way, it aids InnoGames (or whoever owns the game) in their action to shut down the forum. Now they can use this, no matter how much we preserve by it, as an additional argument and reafirmation of their intentions to see their plans through.
In example: The community didn't loose the knowledge and memories. Now, they are right there on the iDavies site etc. etc., so there is 0 reasons for us to keep the forum -as the community asked- anymore.
On the other hand, if we have no influence in any of their business, with other words, we are completely powerless and the forum would get shut down no matter what, better to save something than see it all gone. It sucks in any case. I guess for us it's a loose-loose situation.
I have no alternative, no suggestion, so the only thing I can do (at least at the moment) is to comment my reflections of all this and observe how the situation develops.
Will think if something else can be done though. Not giving up yet

If I recall correctly, iDavis also gets paid by Inno for making videos for the official Elvenar YouTube channel. You never know, they might have even given him some compensation as well for expanding his website with this Community Knowledge section..?

If all is said and done then I very much appreciate iDavis’ efforts to save some of the knowledge, but I don’t want to give up hope for the forum either just yet…

Here Here!! We fight to the bitter end to Save The Forum.
We do appreciate the efforts of iDavis though and hope against hope that it doesnt come to it.

Unfortunately it appears that iDavis has had to terminate the Community Knowledge project.

At least he tried. One can only imagine the security issues that developed. There are twisted and warped things happening in the world currently.
