CHDK-DE Forum may be closing its doors?

Google Chrome's translation of a recent post by @msl on the German CHDK forum :

link > "Hello CHDK interested, the forum will soon close its doors."

A sad day.

waterwingzA sad day.

I agree...
I hope that the content will not be lost and that there will at least be a read only version...

This step was unfortunately necessary because the forum software is outdated. The provider has announced that the necessary php version will be switched off shortly.

We have decided not to update the forum software. Effort and benefits are in a very bad relationship. The CHDK community has become smaller. It is better to unite the active users in the international forum.

With web.archiv.org there is a backup of all forum posts. All important file attachments from the forum are saved on box.net.

The CHDK-DE Autobuild server will continue to exist. There will be a slightly changed download page for the autobuild.

That is great news. From what I saw on it over the last half year or so you do have some work ahead in communicating the joyous fact.
Activity turned from little to less but on the upside: It can only increase form there 😎

Sad to see it go, but understandable give the low activity in recent years. Thanks to msl and rudi for keeping it going for so long, 7 years after the OP in this thread 🥂

As noted on the replacement page, much of the content is archived: http://chdk.bplaced.net/
