HTalk was sold to Endeavor along with dozens of other forums in the mechanical industry in December. All of these sites were pushed over to the new owners host except the VB sites such as us and Welding Web. Our database was on AWS still owned by our old owner Informa. A Informa tech thought all the sites were gone so he deleted HTalk and the AWS database. That unfortunate act is what caused all this

Sooooooo, no more WeldingWeb?
It's an HVAC site.

Who knows. It sounds like everything might be lost unless they find a backup somewhere. You'd think after the last outage they would have multiple backups.
