23 years on the old site. GuruGuy Edit. Went to the wayback machine and found that it was 23 years with this username. I had another account before this but locked myself out of it and just created a new one. So young and dumb back then hahahaha.

tiredrunner Finally, and I hope this isn't an over-reach, if the shutdown was planned and deliberate, can someone share the reasons why?

There are rumors here and there, people who say they know, etc., and keeping pretty much quiet about it. I suspect over time it'll all come out what happened.

If memory serves, I joined July 12, 2005...but I don't know how to post a screencap like some of you have.

[edit] Thanks bbbc; looks like I was dead-on, my mind hasn't started to go just yet...!

Rock_cake In a search engine, type DSLReports and then your USERNAME. Copy and paste that URL into Wayback Machine and screenshot what you want.

Rock_cake At the bottom of the text box, 4th button from the left. "Upload" then find the pic you want to post.

Edit: I thought you meant something else. 😀

Rock_cake You can also get your membership date by finding a discussion in archive.org that you've posted in. The username section contains the info. For example: My two year contract ended and I got a 23% increase for Custom TV.

Shows:

The above image was captured using Windows 10 "Snip & Sketch", then copy-n-paste into this post. The forum software takes care of the details.

So, it's January 28, 2007 for me.

I didn't even have to go to archive.org. The short summary with the searh hit provided me with the info; joined January 27, 2008 @3:07 AM (what timezone?). That was almost 17 years ago.

When I do that, and copy the results into the Wayback Machine, it just comes back with this:

Hrm.
Fail with status: 498

I've tried two different URLs and they both came back empty. Any other suggestions?

I found this site from a reddit post. It's good to be "home" again, albeit it's a different home. 😃

minni you are welcome here! I wonder if folks have reached out to contributors like WellBonded?

minni

robxr4ti Thanks! Since WellBonded is so advanced at repair work, seems to me it would be no big deal for him to ferret out the Reddit DSLR posts linking here.

Also to robx & DrStrange: More of the flock posted on the following home networking thread. Not sure if px_eliezer notified them.

robxr4ti I know that he is on the other site. Ho-Lee-Fooks. I am not sure if he is going to come this way,

I started in 2004 when we just got DSL service, and I was trying to get my Windows 95 computer and my kids W98 computer to talk to each other. I found the Digital Imaging forum shortly after and I was checking it every day and occasionally posting a photo or participating in Artify until the site got pulled out from under us.

Thanks for finding this info

MJF You are most welcome MJF. 👍🏻

Did you use the same nick / username on DSLR, randavis?

randavis I tried to search

You sent me a PM yesterday and I posted this for you.

[deleted] I joined over there in the first big wave when Le Ho Fooks closed on DSLR several years ago. I was glad to have a similar place, but it exceeded the flavor of LHF. I took a break from it, then returned after some messages from others encouraging me to give it another try. It gave me indigestion again. So I bid it adieu. As I wrote elsewhere, HLF is not my cup of tea.

impy001

I was on the old site from the early 2000s, but under another id. This was about the time I retired.

For some reason (I don't remember) about 10 years ago I switched to my current id.

Anyway, I am here now.

Just added this line so I could see how to edit. It works!
